    Aggregating approximately 2,120 acres in Alpine County. The 
classification no longer serves a needed purpose as to the land 
described above and is hereby terminated.
    At 10 a.m. on September 1, 1995, the land 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 requirement of applicable law. All valid applications 
received at or prior to 10 a.m. on September 1, 1995 shall be 
considered as simultaneously filed at that time. Those received 
thereafter shall be considered in the order of filing.
    At 10 a.m. on September 1, 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, other 
segregations of record, and the requirements of applicable law. 
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 determination in local courts.
