Josephine County Oregon Sheriff Gil Gilbertson standing up for the miners Rights

Hal Anthony minnig law researcher/speaker, David McAllister President of the Southwest Oregon Miners Association, Ron Gibson Vise President of the Southwest Oregon Miners Association and a number of media had a sit-down with Josephine County Oregon Sheriff Gil Gilbertson this last Friday (09/25) to discuss the Miner's Right to those minerals conveyed in the 1866 Grant. After the law (1866 Grant) and state and federal statutes that say there is not to be ANY interference in what the miners have a lawfull Right to, and do, was shown to Gilbertson, he stated until he could find that what was presented to him to be incorrect, he was going to instruct his deputies not to interfere with the miners and thier work and that memo was going to BLM and Forest Service aswell.

OH, and by the way, Gilberson has said he will be at this Fridays (10/02) Miners meeting at Pottsville.
