Mining Chiefs Ask for
More Federal Leeway
LOvS ANGELES UP*—'The Amor- j
ican Mining Congress wants the j
federal government to adopt a
, “hands-off” policy regarding min
! oral exploitation of public lands
except in cases affecting the na- ;
tion’s welfare.
The request was contained in a
resolution, adopted yesterday,
which said:
“We oppose any law, regulation,
decision or order prohibiting or
limiting access to or utilizaton of
i any public land for the purpose of
prospectng for and mining natural
resources unless it is clearly estab
lished by examination and apprais
al that such action will far better
serve the national welfare.
“Future withdrawals should be j
kept to a minimum. Orders with
drawing public land from mineral
entry should be reviewed period
ically with the purpose of eliminat
ing areas found to be in excess
of need and opening them to min
eral entry.”
The mining industry represen
tatives said the government is not
acting in accord with mining laws
when it rules mineral deposits val
ueless and not for exploitation
when responsible persons are will
ing to spend time and money on
these deposits.
The resolution also condemned
“the decisions of the Interior De
partment and its Bureau of Land
Management and examiners which
distort and disregard long-standing
precedents.”
