    The total area described aggregates 1,159.56 acres.
    The segregation no longer serves any purpose; accordingly, pursuant 
to the Act of June 28, 1934, as amended, at 10 a.m. on July 21, 2004 
the above described land will become open to the operation of the 
public land laws generally, subject to valid existing rights, the 
provisions of existing withdrawals, and the requirements of applicable 
laws, rules, and regulations.
    The above described lands will become open to the mineral leasing 
laws, material disposal laws, and location under the United States 
mining laws. Appropriation of the land under the general mining laws 
prior to the date and time restoration is not authorized. Any such 
attempted appropriation, including attempted adverse possession under 
30 U.S.C. 38, shall vest no rights against the United States. State law 
governs activities necessary to locate and initiate a right of 
possession unless the state law conflicts with Federal law.
    The Bureau of Land Management will not intervene in disputes 
between rival locators over possessory rights because the Mining law 
states that such disputes must be settled in local courts.
