Southern Oregon Miners Sue to Stop Anti-Mining Legislation

According to Oregon Live, the Galice Mining District in southern Oregon has filed for an injunction in the U.S. District Court in Eugene to stop consideration of bills in the Oregon Senate that would place a moratorium on motorized mining in Oregon waterways.

There seems to be some question whether the court will act to stop legislation that has not yet been passed into law, although the answer may not be long in coming.  In any case, it is evident that the miners of southern Oregon are keeping a close watch on threats to their livelihoods and are not afraid to take action to protect their rights; something the rest of us in the mining community would do well to emulate.
