The area described aggregate 3,805.87 acres in Cassia County,
At 9 a.m. on March 30, 1997, the land shall be opened to location
and entry under the United States mining laws, subject to valid
existing rights, the provisions of existing withdrawals, other
segregations of record, and the requirements of applicable law.
Appropriation of land described in this order under the general mining
laws prior to the date and time of restoration is unauthorized. Any
such attempted appropriation, including attempted adverse possession
under 30 U.S.C. 38 (1988), shall vest no rights against the United
States. Acts required to establish a location and to initiate a right
of possession are governed by State law. The Bureau of Land Management
will not intervene in disputes between rival locators over possessory
rights since Congress has provided for such determinations in local
courts.
