OREGON–Disputes between a local Josephine County mining group and the United State’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM) regarding surface rights have prompted local Oath Keepers members to set up a staging area in preparation to defend the miners constitution rights to due process.
The Sugar Pine miners are maintaining their right to their current mining capacity, citing historical documents they possess guaranteeing such rights. This particular mining has been taking place for the past 100 years.
The BLM’s argument against the Josephine County operation is that the documents are outdated, and also that the property has changed hands, at some point, which would disqualify grandfather clauses for the mining operations in the eyes of the BLM.
