Appropriation of the land under the

general mining laws prior to the date

Any such attempted appropriation,

including attempted adverse possession

under 30 U.S.C. 38, 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

will not intervene in disputes between

rival locators over possessory rights

since Congress has provided for such

determination in local courts.
