Placer Mine
Gives New Deal To
Mine Claim Owners
Jesse Mayo, assemblyman from
this district, who last night addressed a meeting of mining men in the
city of Grass Valley, was a visitor
in Nevada City last evening. -Speaking to a representative of the’ Nugget_regarding the Placer Mining bill
which the governor signed Monday,
he stated significantly that this act
is one. of the most progressive measures enacted since the Caminetti act
practically halted placer mining in
California.
“Mining operaters,’ said Mayo,
“do not yet realize the potentialities
of this measure. By forming a district they will be able to condemn
privately owned utility rights in wact
sary for the ees of plants and
structures. <«
“Mining districts organized under
the act may compel obstructive minorities or individuals to yield to the
common good of the district. It -will .
apply to many situations that arise
in quartz mining as well as gravel
mining. For instance where there
are a number of small quartz claims
lying together or adjacent, under
different-ownership, the owners may
form a district, issue bonds, erect a
custom mill under common owner,
ship and proceed to develop «their
claims co-operatively. :
“The bonds issued by these mining districts are made legal securi”
ter. They can condemn lands necesties for savings banks.
