The areas described aggregate 241,807.89 acres.

5. Some of the lands described in paragraph 2 of this order were declared by the Act of August 13, 1949 (63 Stat. 604; 25 U.S.C. 622), to be held by the United States in trust for the respective tribes, bands, or groups of Indians occupying and using them. The remainder were by the said Act declared to be public domain. As authorized by the said Act, an order of the Secretary of the Interior appearing at pages 1851-1858 of the FEDERAL REGISTER of March 31, 1950, identified the lands in the respective categories. The public domain lands were opened by a Bureau of Land Management order of November 18, 1953 (18 F.R. 7496-7497).

6. The lands in the withdrawal of July 8, 1931, described in paragraph 3 of this order have been included in other orders of revocation or have been otherwise disposed of, with the exception of the following-described lands:

T. 2 N., R. 6 W.,
Sec. 6, lot 3 and SE ¼ NW ¼.

7. The lands withdrawn by paragraph 4 of this order are all within the revocation made by paragraph 1. The objective of paragraph 4 of this order is to establish for ready reference the lands still remaining in the withdrawal created by the order of September 1, 1939, and to establish with certainty, without reference to other sources, the identity of those lands, at the same time releasing from the withdrawal made by the order of September 1, 1939, all lands no longer withdrawn for its purposes, because disposed of by exchange or otherwise.

8. Beginning at 10:00 a.m. on October 1, 1960, the lands in section 6, T. 2 N., R. 6 W., described in paragraph 6 of this order, shall be open to application, petition, location and selection, under applicable nonmineral public land laws, subject to valid existing rights, the requirements of applicable law, and the six-months preference right filing period granted to the State of New Mexico, by subsection (c) of section 2 of the act of August 27, 1958 (72 Stat. 928; 43 U.S.C. 851-2).

9. The lands described in paragraph 6 shall be open to location under the United States mining laws and to applications and offers under the mineral leasing laws at 10:00 a.m. on February 25, 1961. Mining locations made prior thereto shall be invalid.

10. Inquiries concerning the lands shall be addressed to the Manager, Land Office, Bureau of Land Management, Sante Fe, New Mexico.

ROGER ERNST,
Assistant Secretary of the Interior.
