To the Mining Registrar at Naseby of the Mining District of
Mount Ida, 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 driving
machinery, commencing at a point on the west bank of the
Kyeburn Stream opposite the centre of the western boundary
of Section 5, Block IV., Swinburn District, and extending
thence in a southerly direction for a distance of about one
and a half miles along the said western bank of the said
stream, and terminating at the applicant's water-wheel,
situate about 10 chains to the north of a branch road leading
into Section 9, Block IV., Swinburn District.
The length of such race is one and a half miles; its mean
breadth is 3ft., and the mean depth 2ft.; and it is proposed
to divert five Government-heads of water. The time required
for the completion of the race is two months. A strip of
land 7ft. in width on both sides of the said race, calculated
in each case from the side of the race, will be required by
the applicant for the purpose of depositing matter removed
from the said race.
