2. At 10:00 a.m. on August 17, 1995, the land 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 10:00 a.m. on August 17, 1995, shall be
considered as simultaneously filed at that time. Those received
thereafter shall be considered in the order of filing.

location and entry under the United States mining laws, subject to
valid existing rights, the provisions of existing withdrawals, other

Appropriation of any of the 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 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: July 6, 1995.
Bonnie R. Cohen,
Assistant Secretary of the Interior.
