-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This action terminates the desert land classifications dated
January 7, 1984, and July 28, 1989, for N-38765 and N-39765,
respectively. The lands will be opened to the operation of the public

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dennis J. Samuelson, BLM Nevada State

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The desert land classifications for N-38765
and N-39765, were made on January 7, 1984, and July 28, 1989,
respectively, pursuant to Section 7 of the Taylor Grazing Act (43
U.S.C., et seq.). When entry to the lands was allowed, the lands became
segregated from surface entry and mining. The entrymen failed to file
final proof as required and the entries were canceled by decisions
dated July 10, 1998.
Pursuant to Section 7 of the Taylor Grazing Act (43 U.S.C., et.
seq.), the desert land classifications for N-38765 and N-39765 are
hereby terminated for the following described lands:
Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada
T. 10 N., R. 43 E.,
Sec. 32.
The area described contains 640 acres in Nye County.
1. At 9 a.m. on October 8, 1998, the lands described above will be
opened to the operation of the public land laws generally, subject to
valid existing rights, the provision 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 October 8, 1998,
shall be considered as simultaneously filed at that time. Those
received thereafter shall be considered in the order of filing.

2. At 9 a.m. on October 8, 1998, the lands described above will 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 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: September 1, 1998.
William K. Stowers,
Lands Team Lead.
