I just found out a guy from NY put in a claim in our town of French Gulch Cal. The bad thing is he is giving a bad name for prospectors and people who want to claim property for gold Prospecting. This Dude from New York started Construction on property he claimed & hired a few Mexican Illegal aliens who cut a road and started using the land for a pot farm with 90+ Plants, not for prospecting for Gold. (It costs about $149.00 a year to file a claim in Sacramento California, and this fool thinks he is going to use it for a "pot farm"). last Thurs night, July 26th, 2012. A traffic stop was made of 2 Mexican Nationals who claimed they were US citizens and spoke NO English. They were stopped by Law Enforcement because they saw them both watering the pot plants on the near by pot farm. The Mexican Nationals from Mexico said they were only workers and were released after a couple of hours of questioning, no tow of vehicle or arrest! If it was you or I we would have had our truck towed and thrown in jail with a heafty fine to boot. These Undocumented aliens are getting away with it. Also a bad thing is it in full view of the French Gulch Elementry School kids who can see across the street and up the hill West of the school the pot farm being watered and cultivated. It may put more restrictions on claiming prospecting land in the future.
