Homesteading Rock: A Defense of Free Access Under the General Mining Law of 1872Andrew P. MorrissUniversity of Alabama School of Law; PERC - Property and Environment Research Center; George Mason University - Mercatus Center Roger E. MeinersUniversity of Texas at Arlington Andrew DorchakCase Western Reserve University Law Library April 2004 Case Legal Studies Research Paper No. 04-2 Abstract: Contrary to most contemporary accounts, the authors argue that the General Mining Law of 1872 represents an institution that effectively resolves incentive problems created by government ownership of mineral resources rather than a blatant giveaway of public resources.
