The conflict between development and preservation of natural resources is often embroiled in the conflict between the powers of state and federal government to control development affecting public lands. The author considers recent decisions in California and Wyoming respecting the regulation of mining operations, and focuses on the issues of federal preemption and the nature of patented and unpatented mining claims. The author concludes that while a local agency may regulate private activities such as mining on federal lands, that agency may neither prohibit nor deliberately frustrate the purpose of federal laws designed to promote and regulate mining.
