and recreational integrity of the historic mining site of Dog Town
expires on February 26, 1994, by operation of law. The public land will
become open to the operation of the public land laws, subject to valid
existing rights, the provisions of existing withdrawals, other
segregations of record, and the requirements of applicable law. The

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A notice of Proposed Withdrawal was
published in the Federal Register on February 27, 1992 (57 FR 6736),
and corrected on April 7, 1992 (57 FR 11797), which segregated the land
described therein for up to 2 years from location and entry under the
general land laws, including the mining laws, subject to valid existing
rights, but not from mineral leasing. The 2-year segregation expires
February 26, 1994. The withdrawal application will continue to be
processed unless it is canceled or denied. The land is described as
follows:
Mount Diablo Meridian
T. 4 N., R. 25 E.,
Sec. 26, W\1/2\SW\1/4\SW\1/4\;
Sec. 27, E\1/2\SE\1/4\NE\1/4\SE\1/4\, SE\1/4\SE\1/4\;
Sec. 34, N\1/2\NE\1/4\NE\1/4\, E\1/2\SE\1/4\NE\1/4\NE\1/4\;
Sec. 35, W\1/2\NW\1/4\NW\1/4\.
The area described contains 110.00 acres in Mono County.
At 10 a.m. on February 27, 1994, the land will be opened to
location and entry under the United States general land laws, including
the mining laws, subject to valid existing rights, the provisions of
existing withdrawals, and other segregations of record. Appropriation
of any of the 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 where not in conflict with
Federal 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.
Under a previous segregation of record, the following described
public land remained segregated as described below:
