segregations of record, and the requirement of applicable law. All 
valid applications received at or prior to 10 a.m. on October 3, 1996

    At 10 a.m. on October 3, 1996, the lands described above 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

notice 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.
