The areas described aggregate 9,673.34 acres in Owyhee County.
At 9 a.m. on April 7, 1998, the lands will be opened to the
operation of the public land laws generally, subject to valid existing
rights, the provisions of existing withdrawals, other segregations of
record, and the requirements of applicable law. All valid applications
received at or prior to 9 a.m. on April 7, 1998, shall be considered as
simultaneously filed at that time. Those thereafter shall be considered
in the order of filing.
At 9 a.m. on April 7, 1998, the lands will be opened to location
and entry under the United States mining laws and to the operation of
the mineral leasing laws, subject to valid existing rights, the
provisions of existing withdrawals, other segregations of record, and
the requirements of applicable law. Appropriation of any of the lands
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.
Dated: March 9, 1998.

Branch Chief, Lands and Minerals.
