AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The temporary 2-year segregation of a proposed withdrawal of 
40.00 acres of National Forest System land for the Forest Service's 
Monarch Mine Stamp Mill Site (Kirby Dam) expires March 9, 1996, after 
which the land will be opened mining. The land is located in the Boise 
National Forest. The land has been and will remain open to surface 
entry and mineral leasing.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 9, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Larry R. Lievsay, BLM Idaho State Office, 3380 American Terrace, Boise, 
Idaho 83706-2500, (208) 384-3166.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice of Proposed Withdrawal was 
published in the Federal Register (59 FR 47, March 10, 1994), which 
segregated the land described therein for up to 2 years from the mining 
laws, subject to valid existing rights, but not from the general land 
laws and the mineral leasing laws. The 2-year segregation expires March 
9, 1996. The withdrawal application will continue to be proposed unless 
it is canceled or denied. The land is described as follows:

Boise Meridian

T.5 N., R.11 E.,
    Sec. 5, lot 8.

    The area described contains 40.00 acres in Elmore County.

    At 9 a.m. on March 9, 1996, the land shall 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 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. 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.

Supervisory Realty Specialist, Lands and Minerals.
