    Scott Harn, owner/editor of the ICMJ Prospecting and Mining Journal, made a presentation about the mining districts and how they have been helping to set up the districts in various states. The mining districts not only help the miners, but also the sportsman and the ranchers. It aides in getting roads and such reopened with no civil liability. He also said the various mining districts and the BLM will be the only agencies dealing with the mining. The MMAC has assisted in setting up 56 mining districts across the country.

     All of us at the WPA would like to thank Scott Harn and his daughter Rylee for making the trip from California to come to our meeting and speak.
