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. The administration's view

Brown, son of Mr. and Mrs.
George R. Brown.
