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.
