    2. At 9 a.m. on September 30, 1999, the lands described above, 
except those located within the Cache la Poudre Wild and Scenic River 
designated area, shall be opened to such forms of disposition as may by 
law be made of National Forest System lands, including 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 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 (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 
determinations in local courts.
    Dated: August 12, 1999.
John Berry,
Assistant Secretary of the Interior.
