Office, 1387 S. Vinnell Way, Boise, Idaho 83709, 208-373-3863.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 8, 1967, the lands listed below 
were classified as suitable for entry under the authority of the Desert 
Land Act of March 3, 1877, as amended and supplemented (43 U.S.C. 321, 
et seq.). This classification is hereby terminated and the segregation 
for the following described land is hereby terminated:

T. 9 S., R.13 E., B.M.

T. 10 S., R.13 E., B.M.
    Section 2, lot 2 (now lots 7 and 8);
    Section 3, lots 1 and 2.

    The area described above aggregates 158.64 acres in Twin Falls 
County.

    At 9:00 a.m. on October 14, 1998, the Desert Land Entry 
Classification identified above will be terminated. Lot 8 of section 2, 
T. 10 S., R. 13 E., B.M. will remain closed to location and entry under 
the public land laws and the general mining laws, as this lot is 
currently segregated for exchange. The lands which will be opened to 
location and entry are described as follows:

T. 9 S., R. 13 E., B.M.
    Section 35, SE\1/4\SE\1/4\.
T. 10 S., R. 13 E.,
    Section 2, lot 7,
    Section 3, lots 1 and 2.

    At 9:00 a.m. on October 14, 1998, these lands will be opened to 
operation of the public land laws generally, subject to valid existing 
rights, the provisions of existing withdrawals, and the requirements of 
applicable law. All valid applications received at or prior to 9:00 
a.m., on October 14, 1998, will be considered simultaneously filed at 
that time. Those received thereafter will be considered in the order of 
filing.
    At 9:00 a.m. on October 14, 1998, these lands 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 above 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. Sec. 38, 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: October 7, 1998.

Branch Chief, Lands and Minerals.
