Abstract
This order withdraws 120 acres of public land from surface entry and mining, and 680 acres of federally reserved mineral interests underlying private surface estate from mining, for a period of 20 years, for the Bureau of Land Management to protect an area having high potential for development of humate (a carbonaceous shale) from encumbrances due to mining claim location. The land has been and will remain open to mineral leasing.
