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 BLM will not intervene in disputes 
between rival locators over possessory rights since Congress has 
provided for such determination in local courts.
