forms of disposition as may by law be made of National Forest System 
lands, including 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 lands described in this order under 
the general mining laws prior to the date and time of restoration is

intervene in disputes between rival locators over possessory rights 
since Congress has provided for such determination in local courts.
