Abstract
This order withdraws 8,170.49 acres of public lands and 20 acres of reserved Federal mineral interest from the operation of the public land laws, including the mining laws. The withdrawal is for 20 years to protect scenic and recreational values in the Ruby Canyon of the Colorado River. This order also identifies 731 acres of privately owned lands within the interior of the canyon which would become subject to the withdrawal if they should pass into Federal ownership. The lands have been and will remain open to mineral leasing.
