Regulations under "The Mining Districts Land Occupation
Act, 1894."

GLASGOW, Governor.

WHEREAS by "The Mining Districts Land Occupation
Act, 1894" (hereinafter termed "the said Act"), it
is enacted that the Governor may from time to time make,
alter, or revoke regulations for any of the purposes enume-

rated in section 2 of the said Act: And whereas it is ex-
pedient to make regulations for the several purposes herein-
after set forth:

Now, therefore, I, David, Earl of Glasgow, the Governor of
the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of
the powers and authorities vested in me by the said Act, do
hereby make the following regulations for the issue of leases
for the occupation for agricultural or horticultural purposes
of Crown lands and reserves within mining districts other
than Native reserves not set apart for mining, or land re-
served for Native purposes, or an education or university
endowment, or any reserve vested in trustees or any local
body:--

1. The lease to be granted under these regulations shall
   be termed an "occupation lease." Every person desirous of
   obtaining an occupation lease for agricultural or horticul-
   tural purposes of any reserve or portion of any reserve set
   apart for mining purposes, or any other Crown land within
   any mining district not exceeding 100 acres, shall make
   application to the Commissioner of Crown Lands or the
   District Land Officer of the land district in which the land
   applied for is situated, in the form of the First Schedule to
   these regulations, or to the like effect.

2. Every application for other than a whole section or
   whole sections of surveyed land shall state the estimated
   area, and shall be accompanied by a tracing or sketch from a
   survey map sufficient to identify the particular area applied
   for.

3. Every application for unsurveyed land shall contain a
   written description of the land, with estimated area, and the
   boundaries shall, so far as practicable, be straight lines,
   roads, existing survey lines, or natural boundaries.

4. Should the land applied for be unsurveyed, the appli-
   cant shall, within thirty days of the approval of his applica-
   tion, deposit the estimated cost of surveying the area applied
   for, otherwise the application shall be deemed cancelled and
   withdrawn. The money so deposited shall be treated as rent
   paid in advance, and no further payment shall be required
   on account of rent until the beginning of the half-year sub-
   sequent to the period for which such deposit has paid the
   full rent in advance.

5. All land applied for other than whole sections shall be
   marked out by erecting and maintaining at each angle a
   post not less than 3in. in diameter and standing not less
   than 3ft. above the surface of the ground, and by L trenches
   not less than 6in. deep, 10in. wide, and 5ft. long.

6. Every applicant for surveyed land shall pay an amount
   equal to a half-year's rent within thirty days of his applica-
   tion being granted. He shall also pay for the lease a fee of
   £1 1s. for the preparation and registration thereof, otherwise
   the application shall be deemed to be withdrawn and void.

7. A copy of every application shall be posted at each
   corner of the land applied for, and maintained by the appli-
   cant, for at least fourteen days before the application can be
   considered by the Land Board.

8. Every application shall be advertised by and at the
   expense of the applicant twice in such one newspaper, or
   once each in such two newspapers, as the Commissioner of
   Crown Lands or District Land Officer may direct, and copies
   of such newspaper or newspapers shall be produced by the
   applicant at the hearing.

9. If there be no valid objection, and the Commissioner of
   Crown Lands or District Land Officer be not aware of any
   sufficient reason why a lease should not issue, the Land
   Board may grant to the applicant an occupation lease of the
   land applied for, or such portion thereof as they may deem
   expedient, and such lease shall be in the form of the Second
   Schedule to these regulations, or to the like effect.

10. In granting any such lease, the Commissioner of
    Crown Lands may impose such special conditions as he may
    deem advisable.

11. In the event of any person objecting to the granting of
    an occupation lease, he shall set forth the grounds of objec-
    tion in writing to the Commissioner of Crown Lands or
    District Land Officer, and also serve a copy thereof on the
    Warden and upon the applicant, three days at the least
    before the expiration of the notice; and the person object-
    ing may, at the Land Board, urge the objection personally
    or by agent. The Land Board may refuse any application if
    the whole or part of the land is auriferous, or for any other
    reason in its discretion, whether objections are lodged or
    not.

12. The lessee shall pay to the Receiver of Land Revenue
    during the currency of the lease the half-yearly rental in
    advance, on the 1st days of January and July in each year.
    Rent shall be fixed by the Board, but shall not be less than
    at the rate of 6d. for every acre or portion of an acre per
    annum.

13. Occupation leases will be granted for the term of
    twenty-one years; but at the expiration of the term the
    lease may be renewed, subject, however, in each case to
    the provisions of sections 10 and 11 of "The Mining Districts
    Land Occupation Act, 1894."

14. Free access shall be given to and over the land oc-
    cupied under any such lease to holders of miners' rights for

Purpose.
