published in the Federal Register, 59 FR 60998, November 29, 1994,

settlement, sale, location, or entry under the general land laws, 
including the mining laws, subject to valid existing rights. The Corps

[[Page 64447]]
has determined that certain lands will not be needed in connection with 
the flood control facilities and has cancelled its application for 
those lands. The lands are described as follows:

4\NE\1/4\, and W\1/2\E\1/2\SE\1/4\NE\1/4\.

    The lands described aggregate 317.50 acres in Clark County.

    At 9 a.m. on January 16, 1996 the lands 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 January 16, 1996, 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 January 16, 1996 the lands will be opened to location 
and entry under the United States mining 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 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.
