Classification identified above will be terminated. Lot 8 of section 2,
T. 10 S., R. 13 E., B.M. will remain closed to location and entry under

Appropriation of any of the lands described above 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. Sec. 38, 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.
Dated: October 7, 1998.
