 SENATOR MILLER said they would hold SB 371 for a quorum and                   
 announced  HB 462  (MINING REQUIREMENTS:RECORDING/LABOR/SIZE) to be           
 up for consideration.                                                         
                                                                               
 Number 350                                                                    
                                                                               
 REPRESENTATIVE GENE THERRIAULT, sponsor of HB 462, said it clears             
 up inconsistencies that exist between our Title 27, dealing with              
 mining on federal land, and federal regulations.                              
                                                                               
 GERRY GALLAGHER, DNR, supported HB 462.  It makes necessary changes           
 in state law to conform with federal law.  It would eliminate some            
 confusion.                                                                    
                                                                               
 MARY NORDALE, President, Alaska Miners Association, supported HB
 462.  She recommended they consider a repeal of AS 27.10.120,                 
 because it is archaic and relates to staking of claims by a person            
 holding a power of attorney.  It is a practice that has worn out              
 the need at this time.
