Excerpt: ...the recovery of a mining title, or for damages to any such title, shall be affected by the fact that the paramount title to the land on which such mines lie is in the United States, but each case shall be adjudged by the law of possession." The only other two instances before the general law of 1866, where Congress recognized possessory rights or rules of miners, or granted a fee in mineral lands, were local in their character and application; one was section 2 of the Act of May 5, 1866, (14 U. S. Stat. at Large, 43), concerning boundaries of the State of Nevada; and the other was the Act of Juy 25, 1866, (14 U. S. Stat. at Large, 242), commonly known as the Sutro Tunnel Act. INTRODUCTION OF LODE LAW OF l866. On May 28, 1866, Senator Conness, chairman of the committee on mines and mining in the United States Senate, reported back to that body Senate bill No. 257, entitled "An Act to regulate the occupation of mineral lands, and to extend the right of pre-emption thereto," and recommended the passage of a substitute. In his report, he took strong grounds against all measures for the sale of the mines to the highest bidders and for the taxation of those engaged in working them. He claimed that it was the first duty of Congress to set at rest all doubts and apprehensions affecting mining property by the promulgation of a policy which should give full and complete protection to all existing possessory rights upon liberal conditions, with full and complete legal guarantees, and which should provide the most generous conditions looking toward further explorations and developments. He especially commends the features of the bill recognizing the rules and regulations of the miners: "Another feature of the bill recommended," says the report, "is, ...

Download or read book Golden Rules written by Mark Kanazawa and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water supply is an extremely contentious resource issue in California and the West. The framework currently used to resolve these issues, however, is based on the legal system that arose in response to the 1849 Gold Rush, and on which California and other Western states modeled their laws. In "Golden Rules: The Origins of California Water Law in the Gold Rush," Mark Kanazawa mines a vast cache of previously untapped historical sources both to tell the story of California s water laws and to shed light on how institutions and economies develop in relation to each other. The Gold Rush was a massive shock to the California economy and provides a unique opportunity in which to observe largely unfettered economic and cultural forces giving rise to rapid and dramatic changes in laws. Kanazawa draws on the latest scholarship in law and economics, property law, and new institutional economics, in combination with a great deal of evidence, to describe and interpret the water law doctrine that emerged from 1850s California. Seen through the lens of water development and property law, "Golden Rules" provides a coherent framework within which to understand much of what is observed in terms of institutional developments, and the activities governed by those, during the Gold Rush."
Download or read book Mining for Freedom written by Sylvia Alden Roberts and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you know that an estimated 5,000 blacks were an early and integral part of the California Gold Rush? Did you know that black history in California precedes Gold Rush history by some 300 years? Did you know that in California during the Gold Rush, blacks created one of the wealthiest, most culturally advanced, most politically active communities in the nation? Few people are aware of the intriguing, dynamic often wholly inspirational stories of African American argonauts, from backgrounds as diverse as those of their less sturdy- complexioned peers. Defying strict California fugitive slave laws and an unforgiving court testimony ban in a state that declared itself free, black men and women combined skill, ambition and courage and rose to meet that daunting challenge with dignity, determination and even a certain elan, leaving behind a legacy that has gone starkly under-reported. Mainstream history tends to contribute to the illusion that African Americans were all but absent from the California Gold Rush experience. This remarkable book, illustrated with dozens of photos, offers definitive contradiction to that illusion and opens a door that leads the reader into a forgotten world long shrouded behind the shadowy curtains of time."

Download or read book The Mining Law of 1872 written by Gordon Morris Bakken and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2011-09-16 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History has left us a classic image of western mining in the grizzly forty-niner squatting by a clear stream sifting through gravel to reveal gold. What this slice of Western Americana does not reveal, however, is thousands of miners doing the same, their gravel washing downstream, causing the water to grow dark with debris while trout choke to death and wash ashore. Instead of the havoc wreaked upon the western landscape, we are told stories of American enterprise, ingenuity, and fortune. The General Mining Act of 1872, which declared all valuable mineral deposits on public lands to be free and open to exploration and purchase, has had a controversial impact on the western environment as, under the protection of federal law, various twentieth-century entrepreneurs have manipulated it in order to dump waste, cut timber, create resorts, and engage in a host of other activities damaging to the environment. In this in-depth analysis, legal historian Gordon Morris Bakken traces the roots of the mining law and details the way its unintended consequences have shaped western legal thought from Nome to Tombstone and how it has informed much of the lore of the settlement of the West.
