Holt dismissing a contest complaint challenging the validity of placer mining claims. Contest No. UTU-87817. Affirmed. 1. Mining Claims: Common Varieties of Minerals: Generally--Mining Claims: Determination of Validity The test for determining whether a deposit of building stone is an uncommon variety that is locatable under the mining laws requires a claimant to meet the five criteria codified at 43 C.F.R. § 3830(b): (1) there must be a comparison of the mineral deposit with other deposits of such mineral generally; (2) the mineral deposit at issue must have a unique property; (3) the unique property must give the deposit a distinct and special value; (4) if the special value is for uses to which ordinary varieties of the mineral are put, the deposit must have some distinct and special value for such use; and (5) the distinct and special value must be reflected by the higher price which the material commands in the market place. 2. Administrative Procedure: Burden of Proof--Evidence: Preponderance--Evidence: Prima Facie Case--Mining Claims: Contests In a contest, the Government bears the burden of going forward with evidence sufficient to establish a prima facie case of the invalidity of the challenged mining claim.

  • Stone Sculpture Hand Carved Creations in Stone
    Zimbabwe Stone Sculpture HAND CARVED CREATIONS IN STONE • BRIEF BACKGROUND • THE STONE • MEDIA REVIEWS • FEATURED ARTISTS • THE SCULPTURE Gallery Handbook Zimbabwe Stone Sculpture A BRIEF BACKGROUND Born of an artistic environment free from the constraints of formal artistic ACKGROUND rules & boundaries, the Zimbabwe Sculpture Movement has become B known as the most compelling & evocative form of art to emerge from Africa in the 20th century. First appearing in the late 1950s, the art soon captured the attention of the west and has since been featured in many of the world’s finest museums, galleries & private collections. However, the significance of Zimbabwean stone sculpture lies not in the international recognition it has gained, but in its honest and emotional expression of the unique socio-cultural identity of the Zimbabwean community at large. The Zimbabwe Sculpture Movement reads as a testimony of time & place as the artists sculpt a cultural & spiritual induced depiction of the ever- changing Zimbabwean society. As their community changes, new styles emerge to document both the past, the present, and a vision for what’s to come. Zimbabwe Stone Sculpture A BRIEF BACKGROUND CONTINUED - In 1957, Frank McEwen was appointed as the first curator of the new ACKGROUND National Gallery in Salisbury, Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe). He had B previously been curator at the Musée Rodin, Paris and had links with various artists of the time, including Picasso (who was himself heavily influenced by African art) and Matisse. McEwen was impressed with the talent of some of the artists he met in Zimbabwe, and he encouraged them to paint and later to sculpt.
