Hal Anthony on KAJO's Wednesday Morning Talk Show with Scott Jorgensen on October 7

On Wednesday, October 7, Hal Anthony (see posts here, here, and here) was a guest on the KAJO Wednesday Morning Talk Show with Scott Jorgensen. The topic of discussion was the 1866 Mining Law and how it relates to all property owners (but in particular to miners), the case of Oregon miner Clifford R. Tracy, and the current proposed changes to the mining laws.

There is a lot of information and clarification about the 1866 Act in this one-hour program which may be heard by clicking on the link below:

Another Hal Anthony Program Related to the Meeting with Sheriff Gil Gilbertson

The latest program by Hal Anthony on the situation in Southwest Oregon relative to the 1866 Mining Law and the meeting with Sheriff Gil Gilbertson (see previous posts here and here) was aired on the Revolution Broadcasting site today (October 5) between 3:00 and 5:00 P.M. PDT.

I have not had a chance to listen to this broadcast and likely will not have a chance for several days. But, for those who are following this story and want the latest information, this most recent episode may be heard by going to this link, clicking on the "Behind the Woodshed" link, locating in the resulting list the two 1-hour segments titled Gil Gilbertson Progress In Mining Meeting Hr1 and Gil Gilbertson Progress In Mining Meeting Hr2, and clicking on the "play" buttons in the leftmost column.

If I can get .mp3 links to these program segments, as I did for the first two programs, I will furnish those in a separate post.

Gil Gilbertson is the Sheriff of Josephine County, Oregon, mentioned in the first two programs by Hal Anthony which are linked in my previous posts referenced in the first paragraph above.

Links to the Text of the Mining Law of 1866

In light of the current interest in the Mining Law of 1866 (aka H.R. 365), I have provided two links to the original document in the right-hand sidebar under "Prospecting & Mining Regulations." The two links are repeated below:

New Hal Anthony Radio Show on 1866 Mining Law

In the previous post I talked about an Internet radio program by Hal Anthony carried on September 28 by Revolution Broadcasting that discussed the mineral estate grant of the Mining Law of 1866.

On September 30, Hal Anthony broadcast a follow-up program on Revolution Broadcasting which re-iterated the information in the original broadcast and provided some scant update on the situation. Re-iterated were the points that the law of 1866 is "fundamental" and "above and apart from every other law" and that when enacted the 1866 legislation became property so that the miners' assertions of their rights is about property rather than about law. Updated is the fact that Hal Anthony states he has received a copy of the email that Sheriff Gilbertson sent to his deputies instructing them not to interfere with mining operations in Josephine County, Oregon, but that he has not yet received a copy of the memo the Sheriff said he "could" send to the BLM and Forest Service.

You may listen to this broadcast in two segments by visiting the links below:
