LAST YEAR WE HAD SUCH A GOOD TIME learning how to PAN GOLD we thought it would

be fun to make it an annual event The Southwest Prospectors amp Miners Association (SPMA) have agreed to come back for another year They will have panning troughs set up in the building with gold packets available from $5 to $100 They have also offered to set up a dry-washing exhibit outside our building to show how it works ndash weather permitting We canrsquot do it in the rain ndash the operative word being dry-wash

The SMPA was founded in 1934 Originally it was a sub-group of San Diego Mineral and Gem Society SPMA was created by hard rock gold miners with working mining claims They held their own meetings to discussed issues relevant to their specific interests

By the late 1970s SPMA membership grew after new portable mining equipment was built to extract gold from rivers and stream beds This development generated a great deal of interest in placer gold mining To accommodate a growing membership and a focus exclusively on miningprospecting SPMA became a standalone club and moved its meetings to the San Diego Natural History Museumrsquos auditorium

Over the past 40 years SPMA has been a prospecting association for people of all ages who would like to try their luck at prospecting in the mountains and deserts of San Diego San Bernardino Riverside and Imperial Counties as well as Quartzsite Arizona The association has 29 mining claims where members can find gold and teach beginners how to use placer mining equipment

See you all at the General Meeting on October 23rd Please bring something for the snack table (seasonal fruit homemade cookies cupcakes something salty ndash be creative there may be a prize The Society will provide coffee tea and punch Thanks to Andy Anderson for presiding over our snack table

Holding our breath DAC meetings and National Monuments Review

September 27 2017by Lisbet Thoresen Public lands representative for SDMG and PLAC ndash South Chair CFMS


Desert District Advisory Council (DAC)

A DECISION WAS EXPECTED in September regarding reinstatement of BLMrsquos advisory

council meetings which were suspended in May BLM had tentatively scheduled a DAC meeting for November 3ndash4 in Ridgecrest but it now appears that the meeting may not be scheduled earlier than March 2018 ndash the date and venue are subject to DOI formally confirming that DAC can resume its work

National Monuments review

WITH FEDERAL LANDS under new management at the Department of Interior

vast swaths of public lands ndash possibly millions of acres ndash are under threat of being wrested away from recreational users conservationists ranchers hunters and other Stakeholders The administration is contemplating the most sweeping and consequential repurposing of public lands safeguarded by protective designations in US history (Executive Order 13792) Under consideration is the elimination or downsizing of twenty-two land-based national monuments that were designated by executive proclamation under presidents Clinton Bush and Obama All but one are located in western states with seven located in California (Cascade-Siskiyou straddles the California-Oregon border)

The public comment period closed on July 10th and Interior Secretary Zinkersquos report was submitted to President Trump on August 24th It was not made public However on September 17th Zinkersquos 19-page memorandum was leaked to the press[1] He advised making changes to 10 monuments (including marine monuments) and shrinking four land-based monuments including Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante (both in UT) Gold Butte (NM) and Casade-Siskiyou (CA-OR)

During the summer Zinke preliminarily recommended sparing several monuments from any changes including Sand to Snow in California Although the fate of Californiarsquos other national monuments under review may seem less precarious in the light of Zinkersquos leaked memorandum it is anyonersquos guess what actions the president will take If he felt emboldened to slash away when he ordered the monument review in April he may have second thoughts after the public response to it ndash 99 of the comment letters favored maintaining the size of the monuments or growing them or designating more new monuments

Public sentiment notwithstanding at least one California monument ndash Mojave Trails ndash is a ripe target for significant downsizing

Mojave Trails in the crosshairsMojave Trails which is Californiarsquos largest national

monument at 16 million acres is vulnerable to scaling back by as much as one-third Prior to the monument designation permits were approved for renewable energy projects on 600000 acres now within the

monumentrsquos footprint Cadiz Inc which is the largest private landowner in the valley aspires to pump 163 billion gallons of water annually over 50 years from the desert aquifer and pipe it to Orange County for its residential water customers[2] To achieve its goal Cadiz has contributed to many California politiciansrsquo campaigns and bankrolled lobbying efforts ndash for decades Because Cadiz is now literally boxed in by the monument for its plans to proceed the company is seeking a right-of-way waiver from BLM to build the pipeline but a drastic reduction in the size of the monument would be a desirable outcome for Cadiz

Among commercial Stakeholders Cadiz Inc is a leading protagonist in the battle over Mojave Trails which is shaping up to become the object of a legal and legislative slugfest over whether or how much water may be pumped from an aquifer that sustains the wider region including the monument itself Mojave Desert National Preserve to the north Joshua Tree National Park to the south numerous landmarks sacred tribal lands and at least 10 previously designated

wilderness areas not to mention the local desert communities

Cited less often but no less a possibility is the US Marine Corps annexing parts of Mojave Trails if they fall out of protected status ndash the Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms flanks the monumentrsquos southwestern boundary The firing test range at the dry lake at the foot of the Bullion Mountains is adjacent to Lavic Siding a favorite collecting area with Rockhounds

Seventeen Republican legislators including Calif Representative Paul Cook (R-Apple Valley) wrote a letter to DOI supporting the monumentrsquos downsizing[3] (Cook is on record ad-vocating a 500000-acre reduction to accommodate commercial projects) Private companies have lobbied hard

Many favorite hobby collecting areas are within Mojave Trails NM Many sites are scattered throughout the Cady Mountains (see green highlighted area) part of Afton Canyon part of Lavic Siding and Cadiz among others Source BLM

for shrinking the monument none more aggressively than Cadiz Inc which has the support of Rep Cook as well as California President Pro Tem of the Sen-ate Kevin de Leoacuten (D-Los Angeles) and Senator Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens) Deputy Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt was formerly on Cadizrsquos payroll as a lobbyist so he is not perceived as being dispassionate about Mojave Trails

Among the projects proposed before the monument designation overdrafting the aquifer has been decried as an existential threat to the desertrsquos fragile ecosystem and unsustainable for local communities Keeping Mojave Trails intact and defending against Cadiz specifically now has the backing of many conservation groups and political heavyweights including Senator Dianne Feinstein Governor Jerry Brown and Lt Governor Gavin Newsom Assembly Bill 1000 sponsored by Laura Friedman (D-Los Angeles Glendale and Burbank) sought to finally quash Cadizrsquos aspirations The bill died in committee on September 1st but its proponents have vowed to fight on

THE MOJAVE DESERT has many collecting areas beloved to Rockhounds that are now within the

footprint of the Mojave Trails National Monument (MTNM) Since the 1990s repeated legislative efforts to protect the area from commercial exploitation failed so finally Senator Dianne Feinstein asked President Obama to designate it as a national monument which he did on February 12 2016

The public has a limited awareness of the beautiful and varied gem minerals found in the California desert or the deep affinity hobby collectors feel for this oasis of collectible gem minerals

Other Stakeholders love the desert too while still others see economic poten-tial in it Consequently the Mojave Desert has been a battleground of competing values for as long as any-one can remember Now however the conflict has narrowed and focused on Mojave Trails specifically It may be downsized signifi-cantly to accommodate commercial interests which is being hotly contested in a renewed battle that may go on for some time

Roundup for gem mineralsof the West

by Lisbet ThoresenPublic Lands Representative for SDMG

and PLAC ndash South Chair CFMS

Where does that leave Rockhounds

Between a rock and a hard place If Mojave Trails is downsized to make way for

commercial development and the building of utility-scale projects hobby collecting almost certainly will be drastically curtailed Fences will go up and Rockhounds as well as other recreational users will be shut out

Conversely areas that re-main in the monument will be under management and historically public lands with protective designations are managed according to very restrictive guidelines To al-leviate the burden of cost and human resources clo-sure of secondary roads and unmapped trails has been the rule rather than the ex-ception So unless the man-agement plan for Mojave Trails which has yet to be drafted explicitly accommo-dates hobby collecting and keeps roads and trails open Rockhounds could lose ac-cess to collecting areas

Michael Maslin The New Yorker CollectionThe Cartoon Bank Reproduced by permission

California BLM and BLMrsquos Desert District Ad-visory Council (DAC) is keenly aware that the Mo-jave Desert is hallowed ground for Rockhounds so they appreciate the expectations invested in explicit



accommodations being writ-ten into the management plan for Mojave Trails ndash whether it remains intact or is downsized Rockhounds could enhance their own prospects of getting more of what they want in the man-agement plan if they are willing to cultivate comity and mutual support with other Stakeholders and if they are willing to invest more energy into elevating public awareness about whatrsquos at stake

In a perverse way perhaps the timing could not be better for this particular public lands crisis ndash the national monuments review ordered by President Trump on April 26th has propelled what might be an otherwise obscure topic to high visibility with the public And the public responded to the review by overwhelmingly supporting the preservation and designation of more national monuments (see the previous article) DOI never received more comment letters on any other issue previously ndash ever

So is there any reason the public cannot or will not support hobby collecting on lands with protective designations if they understand better what respon-sible hobby collecting values are and where access is threatened Some groups like The Sierra Club may never yield any con-cessions but what about other groups and what about John Q Public

The 2017 San Diego County Fair provided both an ideal venue and the ideal theme ndash ldquoWhere the West is Funrdquo ndash to address the issue It provided

Frazier Haney and Sheara Cohen lean in for a closer look at an exhibit of petrified wood at the 2017 San Diego County Fair

opportunity (as it does every year) to reach a lot of people and show them extraordinarily beautiful gem minerals but this year gems and minerals found in western localities were showcased ndash 21 of the 22 land-based national monuments under review including Mojave Trails are located in western states In collaboration with lifelong Rockhounds Bill Depue Vivian and Danny Watts and John Pickett this author (LT) made an educational exhibit showcasing ldquoAgates and Jaspers from Mojave Trails National Monumentrdquo We invited BLM staff and several conservation groups to visit the Gems Minerals amp Jewelry Dept at the Del Mar Fairgrounds where they could see firsthand why we love gems and minerals and collecting

Frazier Haney Conservation Director of Mojave Desert Land Trust brought his family from Joshua Tree and Sheara Cohen California Desert Public Lands Representative for The Wilderness Society travelled from Oakland to see the show They were bowled over ndash they spent three hours asking questions ndash lots of questions ndash and there was lots of ooh-ing and aah-ing over the specimens the lapidary the jewelry We won over Frazierrsquos 212 year-old daughter Lily too She made a bee-line for the sandbox to sift for a polished gem treasure A future Rockhound Hope so

ldquoRockhounding in the California Desert District has been a family activity and hobby for generations of Californians The BLM is committed to focusing on rockhounding and other recreational activities in the development of the management plan for Mojave Trails National Monument Input from the rockhounding community will be essential in helping us identify appropriate management actions that balance access with resource protectionrdquo

Agates and Jaspers with all their varied colors and patterns are endlessly awe-inspiring and the act of personal discovery ndash finding an exceptional specimen ndash is a thrilling experience No less edifying is studying sharing and displaying minerals and for many Rockhounds there is nothing more gratifying than carving lapidary objects from self-collected specimens

The ldquoroughrdquo and ldquocutrdquo Agates and Jaspers on display here originated from just a few of the many historic collecting areas within the Mojave Trails National Monument primarily the Cady Mountains and part of Lavic Siding

The Desert Renewable Conservation Plan (DRECP) is the most ambitious land use amendment in California history It is a programmatic ldquoguidelinerdquo for administering 225 million acres of public and private lands in Californiarsquos deserts (through 2040)

The Record of Decision for Phase I of the DRECP was signed on September 14 2016 Its focus concentrated on conservation and recreational values of 108 million acres within DRECPrsquos scope The ROD paves the way to streamline the permitting process for as many renewable energy projects as quickly as possible in the Mojave Desert

National Monument designations and other protective designations may be the only way to protect public lands from being bulldozed for utility scale projects under sweeping planning efforts like DRECP Accommodations for conservation values recreational uses and other special interests can be included in the management plans for national monuments but they require input from the public and Stakeholders The process requires transparency to work

VISITING the Gems Minerals and Jewelry Department at the 2017 San Diego County

Fair and taking a guided field trip to the Marble Mountains fossil beds has given me a clear picture of the amazing resources the Mojave Trails National Monument provides for rockhounds While the national monument is approaching its second birthday there will be a unique opportunity to craft how this public land will be managed through interested stakeholders giving input on a management plan for the area the beginning of which will be officially noticed in the Federal Register[1] However the entire process is on hold pending an unprecedented administrative review that may eliminate protection for portions of the national monument with the aim of making the land available for industrial development

While public outcry on the administrative review has been overwhelmingly in favor of keeping the national monument intact (29 million comments 99 in support of national monuments) the notable exception is the arearsquos congressional representative Paul Cook (R-Apple Valley) who sent a detailed private letter to DOI Secretary Zinke asking for the Cadiz Valley to be eliminated from Mojave Trails[2] The outcome of the review is up in the air ndash the Department of the Interior has yet to publicly release any final recommendations leaving the future of the monument subject to a great deal of uncertainty Mojave Trails could lose a large area in the southern portion of the monument but there is virtually no chance it will be rescinded entirely If the

boundary is changed in some way the entire matter is likely to end up in court causing further delays in preparing the management plan

Any land that might end up being removed from the national monument would revert to its previous designation which is determined by BLMrsquos land use plan for the area No additional public input would be gathered on the matter Additionally the Desert Advisory Council (DAC) a formal group

of appointed citizens representing a variety of desert land use issues has been waiting to get back to work on incorporating a subgroup to advise on the management plan also pending an administrative review process While these reviews and delays have frustrated stakeholders and caused a great deal of confusion I want to take this moment to reach out from my position as the Conservation Director

Ward Valley nuclear waste dump proposal (2001)


Mojave Trails National Monument is surrounded by wilderness areas with the Mojave National Preserve to the north the Twentynine Palms Marine Corps base and Joshua Tree National Park to the south (west and east respectively) The monument provides a buffer in the region protecting surrounding wildlands and unique geological and culturally significant landscapes within its boundaries To-gether they provide contiguous natural viewscapes and habitat for threatened and endangered species The area that is now a monu-ment was (and still is) targeted for a variety of projects that would irrevocably change this unique largely unspoiled region Some of the proposed uses are overlayed on the monument map above Source BLM annotations L Thoresen

at the Mojave Desert Land Trust to encourage cooperation and dialogue regarding the future of Mojave Trails National Monument

Creation of the Mojave Trails National Monument east of Barstow California was the work of many years In 2009 it was clearer than ever that public land in the California desert was continuously under threat from private development interests The Bolo Rail-Cycle dump the Ward Valley nuclear waste dump and a long list of industrial energy projects are good examples of previous proposals in Mojave

Trails which would develop large areas of public lands in a way that would eliminate public use Impacts would be felt equally by all users ndash off-road vehicle enthusiasts hikers rockhounds campers and other explorers In the face of this kind of industrial development it is in the common interest of all users of public lands to work to keep them intact and open The national monument designation does just that while shrinking the boundary would leave excluded lands back on the chopping block The real promise for protecting public access and balancing uses is through developing a management plan for the existing protected area

4) See Senator Feinsteinrsquos letter in support of rockhounds to then-Secretary Sally Jewell available online at httpwwwsdmgorgcalnatmonumentsFeinstein_to_Jewell_support_rockhounding_CalNatMonuments_20160512pdf or short URL httpsgooglbnEn5j

5) httpwwwhi-desertrockhoundsorgnewsmojavetrailsnationalmonumentisopen or short URL httpsgooglvvtPdi

Two uses that will need particular attention once a management plan is formally in development are Rockhounding and vehicle routes There was great consternation at the time Mojave Trails was created that it would eliminate the ability to collect the variety of gem minerals found in the national monument or would close roads used to access these collecting areas[3] While both uses are controlled by numerous policies already in place before the national monument was created (eg WEMO) members of the conservation community involved in the creation of Mojave Trails as well as elected officials and agencies are deeply committed to making sure these recreational uses are not lost because of the national monument designation consistent with the intent behind the original legislation not least among them Senator Dianne Feinstein who has publicly defended rockhounding since the national monumentrsquos designation[4] Interim guidance has been provided which leaves the uses in place status quo until the management plan can be completed[5]

Despite the uncertainty and pending threat to Mojave Trails from the administrative review attention should continue to focus on the future management of the area It is expected DAC

meetings will resume next year and progress can be made incorporating a specific advisory subgroup Kyle Sullivan has been hired as the national monument manager and is in the process of collecting information for the plan and guiding many of the day to day operations of the area Everything is prepared for a thorough public process to unfold but success will depend on the willingness of all stakeholders to engage in constructive dialogue and compromise Changing the boundaries of the national monument will only lead to more delay and more division
