-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action terminates the desert land classifications dated 
January 7, 1984, and July 28, 1989, for N-38765 and N-39765, 
respectively. The lands will be opened to the operation of the public 
land laws, including location and entry under the mining laws.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 8, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dennis J. Samuelson, BLM Nevada State

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The desert land classifications for N-38765 
and N-39765, were made on January 7, 1984, and July 28, 1989, 
respectively, pursuant to Section 7 of the Taylor Grazing Act (43 
U.S.C., et seq.). When entry to the lands was allowed, the lands became 
segregated from surface entry and mining. The entrymen failed to file 
final proof as required and the entries were canceled by decisions 
dated July 10, 1998.
    Pursuant to Section 7 of the Taylor Grazing Act (43 U.S.C., et. 
seq.), the desert land classifications for N-38765 and N-39765 are 
hereby terminated for the following described lands:

Mount Diablo Meridian, Nevada

T. 10 N., R. 43 E.,
    Sec. 32.

    The area described contains 640 acres in Nye County.

    1. At 9 a.m. on October 8, 1998, the lands described above will be 
opened to the operation of the public land laws generally, subject to 
valid existing rights, the provision of existing withdrawals, other 
segregations of record, and the requirements of applicable law. All 
valid applications received at or prior to 9 a.m. on October 8, 1998, 
shall be considered as simultaneously filed at that time. Those 
received thereafter shall be considered in the order of filing.

    2. At 9 a.m. on October 8, 1998, 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 
applicable law. Appropriation of any of the 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 determinations 
in local courts.

    Dated: September 1, 1998.

Lands Team Lead.
