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been withdrawn from mining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.
