SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: At 9 a.m. on August 20, 1998 the lands 
described above will be opened to entry under the general mining laws 
and the mineral leasing laws, subject to valid existing rights and 
requirements of applicable laws. Opening these lands to mineral entry 
is in conformance with the Kingman Field Office Resource Management 
Plan, as amended and approved March 7, 1995. Appropriation of the 
above-described lands under the general mining laws or mineral leasing 
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 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 laws. 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. All applications and offers received 
prior to 9 a.m. on August 20, 1998, will be considered as 
simultaneously filed as of that time and date. Applications and offers 
received thereafter shall be considered in the order of filing. The 
above-described lands remain closed to all other forms of 
appropriation.
