From Applegate: 'Bachelor By A. Robert Smith Mail Tribune Waihington Correspondent Washington- (Special)- The Kennedy Administration has decided to resolve the continu- i n g problem of mining claims being converted into illegal resi dences and other private uses by per mitting the oc cupants to buy out the gov ernment's in terest in the land. A bill to authorize such a policy is expected to be acted on soon in the house Interior Committee. Its enactment would open the door to this new program, which would have wide application in the Rogue River basin where many such cases are believed to exist. The problem has arisen In cases where Individuals se cured mining claims, either by originally staking the claim or buying or inherited it, but abused the intent of the min ing law by utilizing the prop erty for purposes other than mining; Many claims have never been worked for min eral deposits and now have summer homes erected on them. This is especially true in scenic areas such as along the Rogue river. In a report issued last week by the General Accounting Of fice, investigators said they visited four such claims last summer along the Rogue river in Siskiyou National Forest and found a house or cabin on three of them. "These houses were appar ently being used as part-time summer homes or fishing cab ins," the report stated. The report stated that In California there are believed to be some 3,000 buildings of a residence nature on un patented mining claims, but only 30 are considered author ized for mining purposes. Most are summer homes. Greatest incidence of the problem is in California's "Mother Lode" country, scene of the great gold rush. There are an estimated 100 to 200 such cases in each of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and seve ral other western states. The GAO investigation turn ed up cases in which claims had been used for commercial purposes hunting or fishing lodges, restaurants and bars, even a house of prostitution existed in one case in Tonto National Forest, Arizona. Many Protests After GAO began investi gating last year, the Interior Department started to crack down in California. This brought many protests from local residents until their con gressman, Rep. Harold T. Johnson (D-Calif.) drafted a bill to settle the dispute. The Johnson bill, drafted originally to cover only Cali fornia claimants, has been en dorsed by the Kannedy ad ministration in a broader form so that it would apply every where this condition prevails. It would allow the govern ment to sell up to five acres of mining claim to the occu pant for an amount not to ex ceed the present fair market value of the land, not count ing its improvements. The Interior Department would have the power to de cide which claim holders it would sell to. That is, if In terior thought the area in volved was needed for pub lic purposes recreation or wildlife conservation, for in stance it would not be ob liged to sell. In such cases, the occupant would be given a priority to purchase other public lands designated by the Interior Department. Cut-Off Date The bill also has a cut-off date Jan. 10. 1962 after which anyone obtaining min ing claims would not qualify to buy the government's In terest under this new pro gram.
