[Mineral Estate G...]

As does this organization attempt to do for prospectors/miners in Colorado, the South West Oregon Mining Association is an organized group of miners and others actively working to preserve and protect the mining heritage of South Western Oregon. This organization takes a proactive stance toward the promotion and protection of mining in Oregon elsewhere.

Ricketts (1931, p. 28) defined a mining district as:

. . . a section of country usually designated by name, having described or understood

boundaries within which mineral is found and which is worked under rules and regulations

prescribed by the miners therein. There is no limit to its territorial extent and its boundaries

may be changed. . . . The organization of mining districts is entirely optional with the miners,

as there is no law requiring such organization.
