The Hard Rock Mining Bill H.R. 699 is still in committee and may just die there. But there are some items that is contained in the bill that the BLM is already putting into practice. There is one thing that we know from our dealings with the BLM and that is that they do just what they want to do because they believe that they can get away with it. They hold meetings between themselves with no one keeping a record and they make decisions that are based upon those meetings. When you try to find out what took place they can't tell you because they have no record. It kinda of reminds me of what is called a cirle jerk. They spend a lot of time in misdirection and are never straight forward. That is why in most cases that you have to take them to Federal Court. I have been told more than once that a Writ of Mandate is no good by the BLM. But I am being told that by a clerk that knows nothing about the law and is repeating something that they have been told to discourage people. But I do know for a fact that if a writ is issued the BLM willl do as they are instructed. I know because we have done it. We are making progress and we are a lot closer than we were 15 years ago when we got started.
