   Comments: The 1872 Mining Law still protecte sthe rights of prospectors and small miners. Without the protection tof this law small miners and prospectors and prospecting clubs would literally be defunct., The rivisions would only allow large mining companies and those with patented mining claims to prospect and/or mine their claims. The US government has way too many laws now that affect small miners/prospectors, which are subjected to most of the laws that only affect large scale mining. This includes first obtaining a formal plan of operations before you could even dig by hand in a prospect hole or operate a small hand held suction dredge. The environmental laws also severely restrict small miners. The US needs small miners prospectors to search for new and valuable metals if the US is to retain a world power. The world is on a gold standard. Beware of those who cry out against small miners and prospectors. A change in the 1872 law will limit exploration to only large companies or millionaires.

   Comments: Why are they trying to close all the Federal lands to me. That land belongs to you and I to use. If we don't claim it now, the communists will claim it when they take over.

    Comments: It is the only mining law in the wolrd that allows an individual and equal footing to compete with large mining companies in securing a discovery. Rahalls proposal insures corruption in the allocation of discoveries.

    Comments: Regardless of the stated intent, destruction of the workable environment of the present mining law and replacement with the proposed changes would simply shut down the mining industry in this country and bring a large part of our economy to a halt. Somehow, we would have to have the basic, low value industrial minerals such as cement, gypsum and aggregates, but we would be made uncompetitive with world markets for virtually all of the high-value metals we now produces.

    Comments: Small scale prospecting actually helps the environment through the picking up of trash and the removal of mercury from the environment. Responsible small scale recreational prospectors leave the area in better condition than it was found in.

    Comments: Changes can be a good thing from time to time, but to change something that has worked so well for so many years would be a bad mistake. Some things are best left along and the 1872 Mining Law is one of them......

    Comments: Mining can and should be done in an environmentally sound way. However, to create legal or cost-prohibitive production barriers to maintaining a strong, stable and viable mining industry would increase our dependence on foreign minerals and risk our national security.
