Leasing Bill Up for Senate Consideration in Coming Week
Washington lawmakers approach a general leasing bill headed for the Senate with expectations of approval in its current form. Wyoming Senator Kendrick wins a key amendment to protect bona fide claimants under old placer mining laws, while House opposition is anticipated to be sharp. The bill allows patenting one fourth of a prospectors permit land and potential leasing of the rest, with Kendrick seeking a preferential lease right for the non patented portion. Opposition centers on leasing government land and patent policy for coal lands, while an exclusive leasing bill proposal was rejected in favor of a compromise measure.
