    At 9 a.m. on April 14, 1995, the lands 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 lands 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.
