State politicians say they know best: Uncle Sam should butt out But others counter this is the New West where the frontier towns have turned into suburbs and cowboys commute "Until recently nobody paid attention to this small group of people that has lived in relationship to the resources because everyone was gravitating toward the cities" says Donald Kerr president of the High Desert Museum in Bend Ore which chronicles the cultural and natural history of the Intermountain West "But today we have this backwash in the West People are coming back and saying 'Wait a minute We want more protection not less' Just which side — New West vs Old West — has the majority is open to debate You do not see many western governors or legislators at SUWA conventions In April California Congressman i 1 George Miller held hearings in Salt Lake on behalf of his House Natural Resources Committee Topic: "Changing Needs of the West" At the heart of the discussion was the question: should the western lands be managed for those who live on them or for those who like to visit them? The position of Leavitt's administration was summed up by Ted Stewart executive director of the Utah Department of Natural Resources who told the congressman: "I would ask that we not forget those whose lives are most intertwined with the Old West those who live and work and die here "The future of the West will ultimately be determined by them" mtoottolttPa0ImvNiotr i t) r 1 INDEX Ann Landers Asimov Quiz C-- 5 Briefing Business A-- 2 Cl B4 Classifieds— D-- 7 Comics Crossword C-- 6 D-- 9 DayBreak Editorials C-- I For The Al Record 1-- 2 Headliners Jumble Movies Obituaries Recreation Sports Star Gazer Stocks Television Utah News A-- 2 D-- 9 C-- 5 D-- 6 C-- 1 Di 0 1-- 6 C-- 7 B-- I Utah Weather: Cloudy cooler showers thunderstorms north south Details: B-- 2 esigimig Emile Jonassaint an judge installed by a small group of lawmakers as provisional president Wednesday appointed a clique of extreme rightists and nationalists to his Cabinet Jonassaint left the post of prime minister unfilled Acting prime minister RobIded Haiti's legalMalval who had ly elected government denounced the regime as illegal and accused Cedras of treason In a bold act of defiance that broke a silence Ma Nal called on civil servants to disobey the new government's orders and demanded that Cedras resign immediately charging that he had disgraced his uniform and locked Haiti into In disclosing a series of negotiating sessions with Haiti's new rulers Defense Secretary William Perry told reporters traveling with him to Ottawa that Washington was "starting to get some signals" that Haitian military leader Lt Gen Raoul Cedras realizes his position is precarious and he "might want to step Although Perry did not elaborate : oth- er US officials cited a spate of recent developments from signs of growing friction within the Haitian military to indications that the new military-backegovernment has been having difficulty putting together a Cabinet But the developments came as Haiti's new military-backegovernment led by six-mon- d U See d Column A-- 7 1 ' te e DOD Oir ' 4 ' a tat 1 down" it 'A t"'4P 'Si A 0:-- 3: :' AI o !

Law Forces Babbitt to Sell Nevada Mine for $10000 TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICES — Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt called it "the biggest gold heist since the days of Butch Cassidy" But with a blowup of a mock $10 billion check signed by "The American People" hung on the wall behind him Babbitt reluctantly turned over a $10 billion Nevada gold mine to a Canadian mining company Monday Although the Goldstrike mine in the hills of central Nevada is on about 1800 acres of federal land an 1872 mining law allows the government to charge only $5 WASHINGTON an acre for the land or less than $10000 and requires no royalties on the minerals that are mined f since the "This is the biggest Yankees stole Babe Ruth from the Red Sox for pocket change" Babbitt said With gold deposits estimated to be worth between $8 billion and $10 billion the Goldstrike mine now is the property of American Barrick Resources Inc which has several holdings in Utah American Barrick obtained the mining claim in 1987 for $62 million from another mining company The company has been seeking full ownership since early 1992 through a "patenting" process outlined in the 1872 mining law Babbitt tried to block the final transfer of title But in March a federal court directed him to turn ownership of the land over to Barrick by June 20 in compliance with the 1872 law At the news conference Babbitt said there is no clearer example than the law Goldstrike mine that the should be rewritten to require a mining company to pay a fair market price for such land and pay the governmcat a roy rip-of- alty on any minerals recovered The law which covers hardrock minerals such as gold silver and copper requires no royalty payments It was enacted in the 19th century to foster mining of America's natural resources but Babbitt argued "any logic for it disappeared well before World War II" Congress has been debating changes in the law for years but mining interests and many Western lawmakers have fought attempts to rewrite the law Under the law Barrick will be exempt from royalty payments Under a proposal approved by the House which calls for an 8 percent royalty Barrick would have had to pay the government between $640 million and $800 million if the mine is as rich as believed Last year 14 million ounces of gold were taken from the mine roughly $600 million worth and mining continues Officials of Barrick strongly defend their purchase and dispute that they are getting a natural treasure and paying virtually nothing in return "It's difficult to understand how someone can suggest that Barrick is reaping a windfall of $8 billion to $10 billion" said Pat Garber Barrick's general counsel "Through the use of innovative new technology and risk of our own capital we created value where previously it didn't exist" Garber said that Barrick took a risk in 1987 when it paid $62 million for the claim when the richness of the ore was not known He conceded that today Goldstrike "probably is the most profitable gold mine in North America" i - r Pentagon Devises Nuclear Strategy: Always Prepared - THE WASHINGTON POST — At a conference in 4 '14 z Arrikeks ' ( i‘ - ' '46' °' WASHINGTON New Mexico recently Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Sam Nunn Dg Ga offered a preview of the k '' 1 t4tt 4A44 hair-raisin- - ' ‘ - kinds of military conflict and terrorist attacks the United States might face in the future: Libyan terrorists launch a drone bearing canisters of deadly microbes into the Capitol as the president is delivering his State of the Union to Congress Hundreds of and the vice president die The is survives but the US crippled for months Or in another part of the world North Korea succeeds in developing nuclear weapons and is poised to attack South Korea where 37000 US troops are stas tioned Or Iraq rebuilds its arsenal and fires nerve gas into Kuwait aboard Scud missiles "Impossible?
