Nope, just those Canadian companies that now run most of the mining operations in the U.S. and pay $100 per year to remove millions in wealth, or patent at $5 / acre and rip off trillions of dollars in wealth. That honest homesteader also got 40 acres for three years worth of work. That was really cheap in those days. The Homestead Act was terminated, the Mining Acts (1866 and 1872) should be as well, stop stealing public land.

Clark might want to check out the 1872 MIning Act right here at home to see just how badly those “people” can get ripped off by corporations.
