As much as I am invested in mining companies, this is simply ridiculous and pandering to a lobby IMO.

Congress has decided each year since 1994 to prohibit mining companies from exploiting an obscure part of the 1872 mining law that allows businesses and individuals to "patent," or buy, some of the nation's most scenic lands at 19th century prices — just $2.50 to $5 per acre. It gives them absolute title, including mineral rights, to the properties.

Man, I want to get in on some of that. With my meager savings, I could buy a serious parcel of prime wilderness.
