    At 9:00 a.m. on August 22, 1996, the above described lands will 
be opened to operation of the public land laws generally, subject to 
valid existing rights, the provisions of existing withdrawals, and 
the requirements of applicable law. All valid applications received 
at or prior to 9:00 a.m., on August 22, 1996, will be considered as 
simultaneously filed at that time. Those received thereafter will be 
considered in the order of filing.

valid existing rights, the provisions of existing withdrawals, other

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. Sec. 38, 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.
