including attempted adverse possession under 30 U.S.C. 38 (1994), shall
vest no rights against the United States. Acts required to establish a

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.
