Several years ago on the old forum 12060 9
Started by auchuck9@hotmail.com
Several years ago some of the members tried to call attention to a plan to close areas to human entry. They brought up a plan that the UN called Agenda 21. Quite a few of us laughed at them and made fun of them and almost called the paranoid.
I have since read this treaty that was signed and is currently being implemented and see these closures as a direct result of this insidious attack on our rights.
I'm not a weird oh. I've been prospecting for 21 years and normally keep my opin...

Why are Mississippi, and Florida in a Mining District? 10830 2
Started by robertj.scarborough@comcast.net
I just read an article about the creation of a Minerals and Mining Advisory Council and referred to the
previously created 29 Mining Districts. The only states east of the Mississippi on that list are Mississippi
and Florida(). Why don't Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, South and North Carolina, West Virginia, Virginia,
and Pennsylvania have a Mining District seat on such a council
Florida Okay, maybe because Florida does have some large Limestone and Kaolin deposits it would need

Started by gus@prospect4gold.com
I'm considering purchasing property in another state. I live in California and the regulations are so strict here that pretty soon it will be illegal to get out of bed. 'Just too dangerous for people to be up and about bumping into things. Better for them if we restrict them to their beds'. I know that is a stretch but that is how it feels when I can't even use a shovel in the creek. Jerks!
Anyway, I want to get a rental or maybe some land somewhere. Looking...

End California’s statewide dredging ban 18390 23
Started by bradjones@ca.rr.com
More than 120 miners representing the GPAA, LDMA, SPMA, WMA and PLP showed up at the California Superior Court in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. on May 1 to show support for Public Lands for the People, which is leading the legal battle to end the statewide ban on small-scale suction dredge mining. After saying in open court that he would make a ruling in two weeks, Judge Gilbert Ochoa instead reserved judgement in a closed-door session with all parties, instead calling for a Mandatory Settlement Conf...

According to our sources, the more people who express an interest in seeing the Rinehart Decision published, the more likely that it will happen. So we encourage you guys to pass this around far and wide.
Here is a barebones sample letter that should be sufficient to meet the requirements of Rule 8.1120. You are encouraged to provide further information in the second paragraph concerning who you are and your interest in the case.

Hi all, this is from Dave Mack with the New 49's.....
I am very happy to inform you that the Third Appellate Court of
California issued a unanimous Decision today confirming our
arguments that a State agency does not have the authority to
materially interfere with commercial mining programs on the public
lands. The Decision reversed Brandon Rinehart's conviction for
suction dredging without a permit. In case you are interested,
the Decision is right here:

I was notified of this from Walt Wegner from PLP. This may seem that it does not effect mining claims but think about this. How is free camping around claims authorized (dispersed camping) this would include mining claims as the multiple use act comes into play. The more control to charge the less freedom we have as they become more responsible for the persons on public lands so they can protect the agency by controlling access. When you charge a fee or someone pays you for something you are ass...

Started by walter@equalaccesstojustice.com
I have seen quite a few orders which could mean a change in the swing of the Pendulum. Whether you agree with the basis of the Supreme Court case or not this does show a change in the tenor of the courts towards Constitutional adherence by the courts. This as a whole is a good sign for individual rights both land and otherwise.
One other recent one is the Riley v. California where the 4th amendment was affirmed to include cell phones in regards to even part of a search incident to arrest. Thi...
