Brown, supervisor, and Wally Robin son, of the Rogue River Na tional forest, said at a recent meeting of the Northwestern Mining Council. ' The original mining law of 1872 is still the basic law for mining, locating and prospect ing claims, they explained. The multiple use law be came necessary because once a mining claim is filed it is a permanent claim in govern ment eyes, the speakers said. Because of the increased use of the forest for roads, timber sales and recreational purposes, it became necessary to establish if a claim is being actively worked, it was ex plained. Under the old law, surface rights are a part of the claim and it was difficult to get roads built and timber put up for sale when the claim owners could not be found and the claim boundaries were not clearly established. The new law gives a miner a right to a hearing to establish his rights to surface materials. If a road is built and selec tive cutting is done the aid and opinion of the claim hold er is desired in working out a satisfactory arrangement, Neil ! Suttell, district ranger of the Star Ranger station, explain ed. This is necessary because the new law states these must be done so long as they do not interfere with the mining on the claim.
