The area described contains 480 acres in Lewis County.
At 8:30 a.m., on April 28, 1995, the land will be opened to

applicable law. All valid existing applications received at or prior to

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.
