New Mining Law
Now in Effect
Public Law 167, approved July
23, 1955, was passed by the last
session of Congress and makes the
first important changes in Fed
eral mining law to be enacted in
many years. It accomplishes the
following principal changes:
(1) Removes deposits of com
mon varieties of sand, gravel,
stone, pumice, cinders, etc., from
under the mining laws so that
they may no longer be staked as
such, but must be leased; <2) pre
vents the use of unpatented
claims for any purpose other than
prospecting and mining or uses
related thereto; (3) guarantees ac
cess by Federal agencies for man
agement of timber or other sur
face resources on unpatented
claims if such access does not in
terfere with legitimate mining op
erations; and, (4) provides a pro
cedure for clearing up false or un
supported mining claims on Fed
eral land. The new law does not
affect claims located prior to
July 23, 1955 except for possible
limitation of rights which may
result from hearings which must
be duly publicized well in ad
vance. Also the new law can not
interfere with patented claims,
regardless of date of patent.
