Stay strong Oregon miners! The unconstitutional government agencies we have let tromp all over our rights and liberties for several generations are the ones that need to be served a "cease and desist order"!

Sugar Pine has an apparently valid complaint. This is a great opportunity to straighten the BLM out on the extent of their authority. That's a good thing that would be of benefit to all miners.

Why turn this into another armed standoff cluste*&$# like Bundy? Isn't this about miner's rights?

I fear the entire issue of pre 1955 surface rights are going to be buried under "patriot" BS and a media circus. Are radio ratings really more important than mining rights?

Please don't screw up the best chance we've had in years. This is very winnable without the drama. Get an injunction and bring us the win. Save your testosterone for mining. KISS

i use to live in gold hill and i have mined in this area. sometime it takes a show of Patriot response to show that as Americans we haven't lost what are for father fought for. the BLM ,USFS, and so many more have trampled on are rights as they continue to close off hunting,fishing,mining,camping and all excess to are public lands. these lands are owned buy us not the feds they cant own lands.only land they can own is for forts and battery's. it is time as Americans we take a stand and say no more to there overreach.

Nevada has a proposed law called the "Bundy Bill" if it passes , it calls for States to takeover Federal lands , and to sell them off to private individuals. If you think the federal BLM doesn't manage the lands to your liking, wait until they are privately owned and you find "NO Tresspassing" signs everywhere like on the East Coast.

I posted this to my facebook page as I always hope to sway a few who may be unaware of what may come their way in the near future. All should do the same.

What are we missing, I'm gettin confused which isn't too difficult for me. Something doesn't sound right. Hasn't this been covered and argued in Lex & Waggener, or Mc Clure? A miner can be sited for not following a Plan of Operations (POO), but can not be charged or cited for not submitting a Notice of Intent (NOI) or having a POO. From what I've read so far this is what seems to have happened. Like is supposed to happen, the district ranger or "experienced" mining individual at BLM or USFS made a decision that they feel the Sugarpine needs a POO and as such issued an order of noncompliance. Which starts a process or clock for the Sugarpine to appeal and make their case. No one has been charged or cited, and this has been argued and decided in court before in the favor of mining, so what else is at issue? Seems like another slam dunk and another case file to put in the claim box.

In theory this is about a pre 1955 mining claim's surface rights. Claims made before 1955 are not a subject of surface management unless they agreed in writing to subject the claim to surface management. The BLM can't require a POO for occupation or equipment usage reasonably incident to mining because the surface of the claimed area is not under their jurisdiction.

Pre 1955 mining claims have greater rights than unperfected post 1955 mining claims. McClure and Lex/Waggner don't apply because they are decisions about surface management of post 1955 mining claims.

I say "in theory" because on closer inspection it appears the BLM is not trying to govern surface use of the 1876 (pre 1955) Sugar Pine Mine mining claim but are likely looking at the adjacent 1975 (post 1955) Sugar Pine Mine S. Ext mining claim. That claim could be subject to surface management by the BLM.

I'm hoping we haven't been misled into supporting the rights of a pre 1955 claim when the problems are actually about another claim, that is also owned by the officers of the Galice Mining District, that does not have pre 1955 surface rights. I'm hoping someone from the district can clear this up. If this really is about the 1975 claim it could seriously undermine the authority of the entire Galice Mining District and their officers.

Perhaps the officers at the Galice Mining District could share the "Cease and Desist Order" with their supporters and clear up this possible misunderstanding? It's public information so there is no need for this secrecy if everything is on the up and up. If they want our support it's important that they describe their situation honestly.
