Residential Use of Mining Claims

Here is a link to a topic I have touched on in the past: purchase of mining claims, not to mine, but to enjoy the land for pure pleasure.  Seems Ouray County, Colorado, a beautiful part of the world, is plagued by this problem.  The article is long, the issues complex, the demands of the “miners” loud, and the opportunities to get in on a low cost, second home in the mountains, courtesy of the 1872 Mining Law, potentially limited.  But read the link yourself and maybe buy yourself that perfect peice of Colorado heaven, thanks to the mining industry.
