This notice from the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management announces a Public Land Order that withdraws 39.6 acres of National Forest System lands in Siskiyou County, California, from mining under U.S. mining laws for 20 years. This is done to protect cultural and historic resources at the Schwartz and Leff Administrative Site along the North Fork of the Salmon River in the Klamath National Forest. The withdrawal does not affect leasing under other mineral or geothermal leasing laws and will expire in 20 years unless extended.
Simple Explanation
The government has decided to stop people from digging for minerals or gold on a special piece of land in California for 20 years. This is to keep the old and important things there safe.
