Order Providing for Opening of Public Land; Nevada

October 17, 1995.
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice opens land, reconveyed to the United States by 
private exchange, to appropriation under the public land laws, 
including the mineral leasing laws, the material disposal laws, and the 
general mining laws, subject to valid existing rights.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 29, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dennis J. Samuelson, BLM Nevada State 
Office, P.O. Box 12000, Reno, Nevada 89520, 702-785-6532.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following described land was reconveyed 
to the United States by private exchange under Section 8 of the Taylor 
Grazing Act of June 28, 1934:

Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada

T. 36 N., R. 41 E.,
    Sec. 3, all.

    The area described contains 637.46 acres in Humboldt County.

    The land was reconveyed to the United States on October 16, 1945, 
but an opening order was never issued.
    At 9 a.m. on November 29, 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 segregation of 
record, and the requirements of applicable law. All valid applications 
received at or prior to 9 a.m. on November 29, 1995, shall be 
considered as simultaneously filed at that time. Those received 
thereafter shall be considered in the order of filing.
    At 9 a.m. on November 29, 1995, the land will be opened to location 
and entry under the United States mining laws and to the operation of 
the mineral leasing and material disposal laws, subject to valid 
existing rights, the provision of existing withdrawals, other 
segregation 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 determinations in local courts.

    Date: October 17, 1995.
William K. Stowers,
Lands Team Lead.
