As many of you already know, the full Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals just recently overturned our important wins against the Karuk Tribe of California concerning how the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) manages small-scale mining on the public lands. It is still a little early to know exactly what the ramifications of this are going to be. We have explained the current situation in our June newsletter.
Fortunately, the new ruling does not affect the new mining properties we purchased on BLM land this past winter along the South Umpqua drainage. So we are in the process of adding those new properties to our existing maps and Access Guide. You can find more information in the newsletter about this, and how we are dealing with properties on USFS land for the moment. I'll post a thread once the new map and access information is on line. It should be within a day or two. Since we will now appeal this new ruling to the Supreme Court, we need your help even more in our existing fundraiser. Here is a reminder that we will be giving away 15 American Gold Eagles in just a few weeks. Participation in this drawing so far has been so poor that we have not even raised enough money to cover the value of the gold. So I am hoping a bunch of you guys will jump in and give us a hand during the next several weeks. Thank you for anything you can do! |

Ok folks NOW is the time to step up. I'll open up with $100. Who's next? I would really like to see a bunch of new names for this one
BTW, you can set up a payee account for those who bank on line and the bank will send a check with just a few clicks! Can't get any simpler than this. AND the bank even pays for the stamp! ratled |

Hundred bucks donated by a lowly salmon fisherman. Why haven't more of your members donated? I'm not a member but I beleive in your-our cause. Do you just give up when your back is against the wall? I would think now is the time to throw everything at them. NEVER give an inch. You are right.

It doesn't count today, but I'll be donating on Friday when I get paid. $100. And probably some more after that.
Can't give them an inch... |
