That report become a rallying cry for reformers at home and in the colonies across the UP.
Sheriff Julius Martin further exposed Science Division corruption in collusion with the Park Police in closing the Auric Canyon area on Barnard's Colony in order to conduct illegal mining operations taking advantage of unique access granted to employees of the Science Division and Park Police.
