    The area described contains 1120.00 acres in Weston County.

    At 9 a.m. on March 30, 1998 the lands shall be opened to such 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 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.

State Director.
