WELLINGTON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1895.

Amended Regulations under "The Mining Act, 1891."
(Prospecting and Tunnelling.)

GLASGOW, Governor.

WHEREAS by the three hundred and forty-first section
of "The Mining Act, 1891" (hereinafter referred to
as "the said Act"), it is enacted that it shall be lawful for
the Governor, subject to the provisions of the said Act, from
time to time to make, alter, amend, and revoke regulations
for all or any of the purposes therein mentioned:

And whereas, in pursuance and exercise of the hereinbefore
in part recited authority, regulations were made on the
twenty-third day of December, one thousand eight hundred
and ninety-one, and came into operation on the first day of
January, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-two:

And whereas it is desirable to revoke No. 144 of the regula-
tions so made as last aforesaid, and also to revoke other
regulations made under the said Act, and to make other
regulations in lieu thereof, as hereinafter 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 in that behalf conferred upon
me by the said in part recited Act, do hereby revoke No. 144
of the regulations of the twenty-third day of December,
one thousand eight hundred and ninety-one, also clause
No. 160 in Class I. of the regulations of the twelfth day of
July, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-four, made
under the said Act, and in lieu thereof, and also in addition
thereto, I do hereby make the regulations hereinafter set
forth, that is to say:—

PROSPECTING CLAIMS.

(1.) A prospecting claim in alluvial or quartz ground shall
be double an ordinary claim, but not more than six
prospecting claims shall be held together as one
claim—that is to say, not more than 120,000ft. in
alluvial ground or 720,000ft. in quartz ground.

AIDS TO PROSPECTING.

Class I.—One party of two or three men in each riding of
any county will be subsidised at the rate of 10s. per week per
man for prospecting new and unprospected country three
miles from any workings where more than ten men had
been working for a period of six months before prospecting
commenced. Where the prospecting operations consist in
trenching for lodes a subsidy may be given under this head,
and in that case the operations need not be three miles from
any workings.

TUNNELLING.

Tunnel can be granted through Land held in Claims,
Licensed Holdings, and Special Claims.

Any person desirous of constructing a drive, adit, or
tunnel through any land held by any other person as a claim,
licensed holding, or special claim, or using any constructed
drive, adit, or tunnel not being made use of by any other
party, in order to get into or work his claim, licensed holding,
or special claim, as the case may be, shall make application
to the Warden to construct or use such drive, adit, or tunnel,
who shall appoint a day for the hearing of such application,
being not less than sixteen days from the date of lodging the
same.

Mode of Application.

The applicant shall post and maintain a notice for four-
teen days at the mouth or proposed mouth of the drive,
adit, or tunnel that he proposes to construct or use in the
form prescribed in Schedule twenty-eight of the regulations
made under "The Mining Act, 1891," and serve a notice on
the person holding the land under any mining right that he
proposes to go through with such drive, adit, or tunnel.

Hearing of Application, Warden may grant or refuse.

On the hearing of the application the Warden may grant
the applicant permission to construct a drive, adit, or
tunnel, or use any constructed drive, adit, or tunnel, as the
case may be, on such terms and conditions as he may deem
fit, or, if there be any valid objection to granting such per-
mission, the Warden may refuse to grant the same.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor,
this twenty-sixth day of November, one thousand
eight hundred and ninety-five.

A. J. CADMAN,
Minister of Mines.
