Hey,

I’ve got some time at the moment (though I may be starting a hot job pretty quickly), let me know if you need some additional elbow grease and I’ll come down and help you for a day. I’m excited to see this thing get finished.

ok but you can’t judge big operations and small sinlge man miners alike….i understand whatyour saying and agree to an extent but alot of family’s and good hard working people are going to loose what little bit of peace in their life, by loosing their work. that is going to drive up unemployment, homelessness, ect…ect. bottom line is that there ws no problen before ( in the siskiyou national forest until this became an issue. there has to be a middle ground here…ya know.

Thank you for your measured and well reasoned contribution to this debate.

I agree with you that suction dredging is the least impactful method of mining on public land.

The record of hardrock mining causing billions of dollars in mecury, asenic and other forms of contamination is indisputable. So too is the evidence that companies will not provide sufficient sureties to clean up the mess they leave behind.

We don’t plan on ending mining. We plan on breaking the cycle of plunder and bankruptcy filings and providing funds through royalties to clean up the toxic legacy mining has left behind.

The story of the Formosa mine is illustrative and typical. The canadian-japanese conglomerate declared bankruptcy and left the US taxpayer holding the bag.

That is the mining industry.

I totally agree with Matt well said! I as well as many other miners are not gonna sit here and let you so called “environmentalist” have our property taken away! it IS OUR GIVEN RIGHT BY LAW !! As far as dredge mining goes …show me one study where it says that it’s bad ( it releases the minerals that the trout eat…duh) and i’ll show you studies from the epa saying that the tested water above mining is the same as below stream….get you facts strait…..hired studies don’t mean jack. Try fighting for our troops to get back home and stop trying to ruin the land we have. Just because you are too damn lazy to go out there and do some manual labor to get your own gold doesn’t mean you have the right to take my chance at making a living….assholes….

That’s as good an excuse as ever for why I don’t have any Chinook this year…

I agree, stainless screws are the only way to go. BUT, bronze ring shank box nails are traditional don’tcha know… My first boat was Phil Bolgers Elegant Punt which I built when I was thirteen. At that age I still knew everything, and decided to use 3M 5200 as glue. All I can say about that is: you’d better be darn sure everything is square and true before you knock off for the night…

Ultimately a forty or fifty horse four. In the immediate future though its probably going to have to be a two if I want to get on the water next season.
