“The battle between constitutionalists and globalists is accelerating, as they push on all fronts. Rural counties will be the first victims,” said DRA leader Kirk MacKenzie. “Over 30 percent of our nation’s counties are in economic distress, and all economic indicators are going in the wrong direction. California's forested counties have already been hard hit by the spotted owl list, but more listings are on the way. The federal and California state governments are the problem, not the solution, putting the burden on the people and their local governments to respond.”
The 14-county gathering is being sponsored by a coalition of five different groups and numerous other supporters to discuss the problems and present a specific action plan to protect our jobs, rights, properties, and communities, MacKenzie said.

The
Gold Prospectors Association of America 2013 Gold & Treasure Expo
spring circuit is well underway and is drawing a new breed of younger,
eager gold prospectors and more families.
The GPAA Gold & Treasure Expo is being held in
Las Vegas this weekend, April 27-28. It is the biggest event of the year! Don’t miss your chance on Sunday to win a trip of a lifetime to the GPAA’s Cripple River Mining Camp in Alaska.
One noticeable change in 2013 has been the shift from Gold &
Treasure Shows to Gold & Treasure Expos.
“Expo tells you straight up
that we’ve got vendors ready to sell you products,” said Trade Show
Manager Gary Sturgill. “That’s where you’re going to find the latest and
greatest new equipment and the vendors are going to demonstrate how to
use it.”
Sturgill said education has played a pivotal role this year with much
more focus on teaching people how to prospect and pan for gold.
“We have a few different guest speakers who we haven’t had before,” he
said. One noticeable change in 2013 has been the shift from Gold &

 My name is Alan Olsen, and I am a member of the Oregon Senate, representing District 20. I am also Vice Chair of the Senate Committee on Environment and Natural Resources. This will be the third legislative session I have served on this committee, and I am still consistently surprised by the type of policy that I see moving through the committee. Last week the committee voted on two bills to ban legally permitted small-scale mining operations on Oregon’s waterways. SB 838 will impose a five-year moratorium on small-scale mining with suction dredge equipment, and SB 401 will declare 14,000 miles of Oregon waterways as “scenic waterways.” I voted against both bills for one simple reason; not once during the many hours of public testimony was the committee presented with scientific evidence that the practice of small-scale suction dredge mining is damaging to fish populations or the environment.

Environmental groups, gov’t agencies suspected of sue-and-settle tactics
 California suction dredge gold miners are crossing their fingers in hopes they could be back in the water by late August. Public Lands for the People President Jerry Hobbs said after a court hearing in San Bernardino Feb. 13 that the court scheduled a motion for a preliminary injunction set for July 24. If successful, the injunction would put California dredgers back in the water — at least temporarily — by late August. Miners would be allowed to dredge legally until a final decision on the statewide dredging ban is made. The judge set a tentative court date of Jan. 14, 2014 for the final hearing, when six consolidated cases are expected to be heard.
