The areas described aggregate approximately 150 acres in Duchesne and 
Utah Counties.
    2. At 10 a.m. on April 4, 2005, the lands described in Paragraph 1 
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 these lands 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 (2000), 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: February 11, 2005.
Rebecca W. Watson,
Assistant Secretary--Land and Minerals Management.
