Occupation Licenses.—Small Areas.

76. (A.) Every person desirous of obtaining an
    "occupation license," to occupy, for agricultural,
    horticultural, or dairy purposes, any reserve or
    portion of any reserve set apart for mining pur-
    poses, or any other Crown land within any
    mining district not exceeding fifty acres, shall
    make application to the Warden in the form of
    Schedule 34 to these regulations, or to the like
    effect.
    (B.) Every application for a section or sections
    of surveyed land shall state the numbers of sec-
    tion and block.
    (C.) Every application for other than a whole
    section or whole sections of surveyed land shall
    state the estimated area, and shall contain a
    verbal description of the land applied for, with
    approximate measurements of boundary lines,
    and be accompanied by a tracing or sketch from
    a survey map.
    (D.) Every application for unsurveyed land
    shall contain a verbal description of the land,
    with approximate measurements of boundary
    lines and estimated area, and the boundaries
    shall, so far as practicable, be straight lines,
    roads, existing survey lines, or natural bound-
    aries.
    (E.) All land applied for other than whole sec-
    tions shall be marked out by erecting at each
    angle a post not less than three inches in diameter
    and standing not less than three feet above the
    surface of the ground, and by L trenches not
    less than six inches deep, ten inches wide, and
    five feet long.
    (F.) A copy of every application shall be posted
    at each corner of the land applied for, and main-
    tained, for at least fourteen days before the hear-
    ing.
    (G.) Every application shall be advertised by
    and at the expense of the applicant twice in such
    one newspaper, or once each in such two news-
    papers, as the Warden may direct, and copies of
    such newspaper or newspapers shall be produced
    at the hearing.
    (H.) If there be no valid objection, and the
    Warden be not aware of any sufficient reason
    why a license should not issue, he may grant to
    the applicant a license to occupy the land applied
    for, or such portion thereof as he may deem ex-
    pedient, and such license shall be in the form of
    Schedule 34A to these regulations, or to the like
    effect.
    (I.) In granting any license to occupy, the
    Warden may impose such special conditions as he
    may deem advisable.
    (J.) It shall not be necessary that the land be
    surveyed before the issue of a license, unless
    specially required by the Warden; but in every
    license for unsurveyed land, or for a portion or
    portions of a section or sections of surveyed land,
    the area intended to be granted shall be stated
    and the land shall be described as nearly as may
    be by boundary lines.
    (K.) Whenever an occupation license shall be
    issued the licensee shall be entitled to occupy the
    land described in such license, but subject always
    to survey; and in case the land on being surveyed
    shall be found to exceed or fall short of the area
    stated in the license, the occupation license shall
    be amended accordingly, but so that the total
    area shall in no case exceed fifty acres.
    (L.) On the issue of an occupation license the
    licensee shall pay to the Receiver of Gold Revenue
    the amount of one year's rent, and shall continue
    to pay the same amount on the same day of each
    succeeding year until the expiry of the license or
    until the license shall be otherwise determined.
    Rent shall be at the rate of not less than one
    shilling (1s.) nor more than two shillings (2s.) for
    every acre or portion of an acre: provided that if on
    survey the area shall be increased or diminished,
    the rent shall, upon the written direction of the
    Warden, thereafter be adjusted accordingly.
    (M.) Occupation licenses may be granted for
    any term not exceeding ten (10) years; but at the
    expiration of any such term the license may be
    renewed, subject, however, in each case to such
    increased rent and other conditions as may from
    time to time be prescribed by regulations or may
    be considered by the Warden to be advisable.
    (N.) Free access shall be given over the land
    occupied under any such license for holders of
    miners' rights to prospect for gold, and to mark
    out and take up claims, and to take levels for and
    mark out the proposed course and position of
    races, dams, tunnels, and tramways for mining
    purposes; and the Warden may on application
    grant any such claim, race, or mining privilege
    without any compensation to the licensee, pro-
    vided that, if the land or any portion thereof is
    cultivated or otherwise improved, such cultivated
    or improved land shall not, unless by consent of
    the licensee, be interfered with or taken posses-
    sion of for mining purposes until after three
    months' notice to the licensee, who shall be en-
    titled to remove any buildings or other improve-
    ments that he may have on the land, and if the
