Supplementary Information
A Notice of Proposed Withdrawal has been published in the Federal Register (61 FR 123, June 25, 1996), which segregated the land described therein for up to 2 years from the mining laws, subject to valid existing rights, but not from the general land laws and the mineral leasing laws. The 2-year segregation expires June 24, 1998. The withdrawal application will continue to be processed unless it is canceled or denied. The land is described as follows:
Boise Meridian
T. 35 N., R. 6 E., Sec. 1, S\1/2\SW\1/4\SE\1/4\
The area described contains 20.00 acres in Idaho County.
At 9 a.m. on June 24, 1998, the land shall 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 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 (1988), 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. 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.
