The Earthworks Action Network reported, “In an open letter to the US Forest Service in the March 24th Washington Post, Tiffany & Co., one of the world’s best-known jewelers, publicly opposed the proposed Rock Creek Mine under a western Montana wilderness area, and called for long-overdue reforms of the 1872 Mining Law—a law that favors mining over other land uses and conservation.” You will find the letter by Tiffany’s and more on the issue, including the text of the 1872 Mining Law here.
