[QUOTE="jedda, post: 31047, member: 1438"] in 1894 the wa mining act was amended to confirm the Coolgardie wardens decision that allowed prospectors to enter a lease and carry out dryblowing or whatever in searching for eluvial or alluvial gold up to within 50 feet of any reef or lode within the lease a decision further enhanced by a decision at bulong stipulating that the soil to a depth of 35 feet was alluvial which again prevented trouble this was after the mine owners at bulong claimed the alluvial miners were actually mining the reef gold here in vic dd a mate of mine found a heap of nuggets in a patch on some western mining lease, he took it and showed them and they told him to peg a claim, which he did, and found no more wm also did extensive searches around his claim and found none ive got no probs with proper fair regulations, just the ones that are put in place to aid speculators who use it to write off purchases of new utes and the like and never do any works on "their" leases which I know used to be a condition to them keeping the lease, I have been through heaps of country in the west during my 12 months that had never seen a vehicle or indeed a person along any of the gazetted roads that traverse them for months if not longer you are right it is a joke dd from yours and my perspectives which probably are light years apart, yet still we do agree it is a joke [/QUOTE]
