lawful for the Governor in the Proclamation con-
stituting a mining district, and also from time to time
by Proclamation subsequently issued, either by
general or particular description, to set apart for
mining purposes exclusively any portion of Crown
lands within a mining district, and in like manner to
exempt from occupation for mining purposes, or for
water-races, dams, or reservoirs, or for machine,
business, or residence sites, any land within the
boundaries of such mining district, and from time to
time any such exemption to revoke, and the limits
and extent of the land in any such district comprised
to alter as he may think fit:

Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the
powers and authorities vested in me by "The Mines
