The proposal comes three weeks before President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in.

The proposal would remove 264,442 acres of federal lands in the Ruby Mountains from mineral and geothermal leasing.

The lands would remain open to mining claims, the Interior Department says.

" The Ruby Mountains are cherished by local communities for their scenic value," the department says.
