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 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.
