SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice of Proposed Withdrawal was
published in the Federal Register, 58 FR 33461, June 17, 1993, which
segregated the land described therein for up to 2 years from location
and entry under the United States mining laws, subject to valid
existing rights, but not from other forms of disposition which may by
law be made of National Forest System land. The proposed withdrawal was
not completed within the 2-year segregation period and the segregation
expires on June 17, 1995. The termination will not affect the
processing of the proposed withdrawal.
The land is described as follows:
New Mexico Principal Meridian
Carson National Forest
T. 22 N., R. 13 E.,
Sec. 8, E\1/2\SE\1/4\NE\1/4\ and E\1/2\NE\1/4\SE\1/4\,
unsurveyed and within the Santa Barbara Grant Survey;
Sec. 9, S\1/2\S\1/2\N\1/2\N\1/2\, S\1/2\N\1/2\, SW\1/4\, and
N\1/2\SE\1/4\, unsurveyed and within the Santa Barbara Grant
Survey;
Sec. 10, lots 2 and 3, and approximately 23.01 acres in the
SW\1/4\NW\1/4\ partly unsurveyed and within the Santa Barbara Grant
Survey (excluding SHC Patent No. 883043), and approximately 5.01
acres of the NW\1/4\SE\1/4\ partly unsurveyed and within the Santa
Barbara Grant Survey, and SW\1/4\NE\1/4\;
Sec. 15, SE\1/4\NW\1/4\ and N\1/2\SW\1/4\, unsurveyed and
within the Santa Barbara Grant Survey;
Sec. 16, NE\1/4\NW\1/4\, unsurveyed and within the Santa
Barbara Grant Survey.
The areas described aggregate approximately 770.00 acres in Taos
County.
At 9 a.m. on June 18, 1995, the land will be opened to location and
entry under the United States mining laws, subject to valid existing
rights, the provisions of existing withdrawals, and other segregations
of record. 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: May 2, 1995.
Michael R. Ford,
District Manager.
