Mining Notices.

To the Mining Registrar at Naseby of the Mount Ida Mining
District, and all other persons whom it may concern.

TAKE notice that it is intended to construct a Water-
race and divert water for the purposes of irrigation
and the driving of machinery, commencing at a point about
one-quarter of a mile above the bridge over the Horseburn
Creek, and terminating in my Section 14, Block III., Rock
and Pillar District.

The length of such race will be one-quarter of a mile or
thereabouts, its intended course east and west, its mean
breadth 2 feet, and its greatest depth 18 inches.
It is intended to divert two Government-heads of water.
An area of 2 feet upon each side of such race and along the
course thereof will be required for the purpose of depositing
matter removed therefrom, and it is estimated that ninety
days will be required for its construction.
