    The area described contains 4822.36 acres in Converse County.

    At 9 a.m. on February 7, 1996, the lands shall be opened to such 
forms of disposition as may by law be made of National Forest System 
lands, including location and entry under the United States mining 
laws, subject to valid 

[[Page 4677]]
existing rights, the provisions of existing withdrawals, other 
segregation of record, and the requirements of applicable law. 
Appropriation of 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 determination in local courts.
Robert A. Bennett,
Acting State Director.
