Rewards offered for the Discovery of New Goldfields.—
Amended Conditions.

Mines Department,
Wellington, 16th March, 1885.

REWARDS are offered for the discovery of new gold-
fields, upon the conditions set forth hereunder, payable
out of the parliamentary vote of £2,500.

W. J. M. LARNACH,
Minister of Mines.

AMENDED CONDITIONS.

1. THE maximum sum offered as a reward for any proved
   discovery of a new goldfield in accordance with these condi-
   tions is £500; but, if the total sum claimed as rewards in
   any one year exceeds the parliamentary vote, the amount
   available only will be divided equally.

2. The newly-discovered goldfield, if in alluvial ground,
   must be situated not less than ten miles from the nearest
   alluvial gold-workings, or, if in quartz, not less than five miles
   from the nearest existing quartz-mines.

3. No grant will be paid upon any application until it
   shall have been proved that not less than 20,000 ounces of
   gold have been extracted from the new goldfield within two
   years from the registration of the discovery, if in alluvial
   workings, and, if in quartz-workings, proof of a similar yield
   from this source within three years from such registration
   will be required.

4. Any person discovering new gold-workings, and being
   desirous of obtaining a reward, shall immediately forward a
   written report of such discovery, with full particulars, to the
   Warden or Resident Magistrate of the district within which
   such discovery shall be situated, and the Warden or Resident
   Magistrate shall forthwith register the report as an applica-
   tion for reward.

5. No prospecting is allowed upon Native land without the
   approval in writing of the Native Minister, or of some one
   appointed by him in that behalf.

Prospectors going upon Native land without the consent
of the owners are liable to the penalties imposed by the Acts
relating to goldfields, and will forfeit all claim to reward.
