Mrs. CP,
Thanks for the acknowledgement but I could not have done this without those CP members that responded to this post with advice as quickly as they did, along with the assistance of the Royal Gorge Field Office BLM staff. Take my word on this, if I had to engage a lawyer and accountant to respond within the legal timelines allowed, I would have spent a LOT of money on this matter. This is good news for all of us. I am glad that ColoradoProspector.com is here to share of this information. I am certain it will help someone else in the future since there are 64 counties in Colorado that are looking for revenue streams. ASTROBLEME -------------------- Annual Dues Paying Member Since 2008

The mining claim is not being taxed. As others have pointed out that would be contrary to the organic founding documents for Colorado Territory and State as well as Federal law.
Taxes can be applied to the proceeds from mining. Here is the original Supreme Court case from 1876 explaining the difference: Forbes v. Gracey Here is an important Colorado case dealing with the same issues, the State and Federal Supreme Courts were both involved. GEORGE R. ELDER, Successor in Interest to Samuel McMillen, Deceased; Alice J. McCombe, Administratrix of John McCombe, Deceased; and Rowena E. McCombe, by Alice J. McCombe, Her Next Friend, Plffs. in Err., v. TINGLEY S. WOOD, Impleaded with Mary M. Bullard, Anna L. Finnerty, and Cecelia L. Wahrer, Defts. in Err. That should clear up any misunderstanding for you and the County Tax Assessor. |

Thanks for your help with info, but this issue was resolved successfully as stated above back then, by the claim owner with our help here some two and half years ago.
