ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The temporary 2-year segregation of a proposed withdrawal of
20.00 acres of National Forest System land for the protection of the
Nez Perce Indian Chinook Salmon Rearing Ponds expires June 24, 1998,
after which the land will be open to mining. The land has been and will
remain open to surface entry and mineral leasing.
EFFECTIVE DATE: June 24, 1998.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Larry R. Lievsay, BLM Idaho State
Office, 1387 S. Vinnell Way, Boise, Idaho 83709, 208-373-3864.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice of Proposed Withdrawal has been
published in the Federal Register (61 FR 123, June 25, 1996), which
segregated the land described therein for up to 2 years from the mining
laws, subject to valid existing rights, but not from the general land
laws and the mineral leasing laws. The 2-year segregation expires June
24, 1998. The withdrawal application will continue to be processed
unless it is canceled or denied. The land is described as follows:
Boise Meridian
T. 35 N., R. 6 E.,
Sec. 1, S\1/2\SW\1/4\SE\1/4\
The area described contains 20.00 acres in Idaho County.
At 9 a.m. on June 24, 1998, 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.
Dated: April 20, 1998.

Branch Chief, Lands and Minerals.
