DRIVE-IN 1132 North Riverside Public Hearing on Land Withdrawal Quite Likelyr Grants Pass A public hear ing on proposed withdrawal of land from mining entries along the Rogue river was termed "quite likely" by Virgil T. Heath Portland, state supervisor for the Bureaa of Land Management. Heath stated, in a recent let ter to L. C. Hansen, manager of the Grants Pass and Josephine County Chamber of Commerce, that a date for the possible hear ing would be determined later. Heath pointed out in the let ter that all proposed withdraw als are made subject to valid ex isting rights. Mining Claims "This means," he explained, "that a valid mining claim loca tion made before the date on which the withdrawal request was filed for notation on the Land Office records would not be affected . . . and such claims may be carried oh to patent without any restrictions because of a withdrawal, provided, of course, compliance is made with general mining laws. "Such withdrawals do not in any way affect patented lands, even though some such lands may have been listed in error." The proposed withdrawal in cludes federal lands one - half mile wide on both sides of the river from near Prospect in Jackson county to near Agnes, a distance of about 120 miles. Heath stated in -the letter that much of the land has already been withdrawn from mining entry. "None of the lands included in tfie proposed withdrawal have been open for mineral location for the past 25 years," he said, "except small areas which may have been restored after a de termination of the federal pow er commission." Much of the land was includ ed in power site withdrawals which prohibit mining entry, Heath said.
