Bohmker vs Oregon Case Going to Supreme Court? How you can help.

In the latest newsletter from the New 49'ers Prospecting Club is an appeal from Dave McCracken for miners all over the West to send a letter to President Trump urging him to use his influence to have the U. S. Supreme Court hear an appeal of the Bohmker vs Oregon case. This is the case in which the courts of the State of Oregon ruled to prohibit all motorized mining on federal lands within the state.

The New 49'ers have posted a draft copy of a letter which you can download and modify if you wish, and print and mail to President Trump with copies to selected administration officials listed at the bottom of the draft document.

As McCracken points out, this may be the last opportunity for the small-scale mining community to stop state officials from prohibiting certain mining activities on federal lands within their states and thereby win back the rights that we miners have lost.
