Missouri Mining Law Exemption Affects Land Access
Congress passed a bill now awaiting the president's signature aimed at aiding poorer miners by excluding Missouri and Kansas from the mining law. The measure blocks mining entry on large agricultural lands unless minerals are very rich, shifting land disposal rules and potentially preserving farmland. Confederate veterans in Fayetteville, Arkansas plan grave decorations for both sides on two dates, with Rebel graves on the 25th and Union on the 31st.
