62570 (FR Doc. 98-2346, 63 FR 46467, September 1, 1998) as it affects 
the following described land:

Mount Diablo Meridian

T. 6 S., R. 61 E.,
    Sec. 6, lot 9 (formerly a portion of lot 4).

    The area described contains 4.24 acres in Lincoln County.

    At 9 a.m. on September 8, 1999, the land will be opened to the 
operation of the public land laws generally, subject to valid existing 
rights, the provisions 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 September 8, 1999, shall be 
considered as simultaneously filed at that time. Those received 
thereafter shall be considered in the order of filing.
    At 9 a.m. on September 8, 1999, the land 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 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 (1994), 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.
