Mining Law of 1872: the original law regarding mineral claims and extracting mineral wealth from the public lands. The law has been amended in a few places, but essentially it remains in tact in its original form. The Mining Law is what grants you the right to mine public lands, and to expect assistance from the Federal Govt since you are bringing new wealth into the economy.
