wise dispose of any milling-timber or silver-pine on the land
included in his license, except in conformity with the regula-
tions under the Mining Acts for the time being in force.
The Commissioner of Crown Lands, or any person appointed
by him, shall decide what is milling-timber, and his decision
shall be final.

9. The licensee shall not be entitled to fell, cut, or remove
   any timber growing on the land comprised in his license,
   except for his domestic use, or for fencing or clearing for
   cultivation.

10. The licensee shall, by virtue of his pastoral license,
    acquire no rights to mine for gold, silver, or any other
    metals or minerals whatever, without first obtaining the
    sanction of the Warden in the manner provided for by the
    mining laws.

11. The holders of miners’ rights shall have the right to
    prospect over the whole area held under pastoral license, and
    for that purpose to enter and camp thereon, and to use
    mining-timber and firewood growing thereon, so long as they
    are legitimately engaged in prospecting; but any prospecting
    carried on upon the cultivated area surrounding the dwelling
    of the licensee, as limited by Regulation No. 13 hereof, shall
    be subject to the provisions of sections 72 and 73 of “The
    Mining Act, 1898.”

12. The Warden shall have the right to grant any mining
    privilege or easement in and over the land comprised in a
    pastoral lease, subject to the compensation for improvements
    as provided for in “The Mining Act, 1898,” and its amend-
    ments.

13. No previous consent shall be required from the licensee
    to enable the Warden to grant any application which may be
    lawfully made to him under the Mining Act or regulations
    for the time being in force in and over the lands comprised
    in a pastoral license, unless the applicant encroaches upon
    the area containing the dwellinghouse or immediately sur-
    rounding same, provided the dwelling is of a substantial
    nature, the land in cultivation, and surrounded by a sub-
    stantial fence. For the purpose of this proviso, and for the
    purpose of Regulation No. 11 hereof, the area to be protected to
    the licensee around his dwelling shall be 50 acres. Provided,
    however, in all cases where the area which otherwise would
    be protected is not cultivated or substantially fenced, then
    so much only of the area as is substantially fenced or culti-
    vated shall be protected.

14. The Warden shall have the power from time to time to
    make such reserves as he may deem necessary, and the same
    shall thereupon be excluded from the land comprised in a
    pastoral license, and rent shall be proportionally reduced as
    set forth in Regulation No. 16, and the Warden may do all
    such other things as may in his opinion be of benefit to the
    resident community, or may in any way conduce to the
    advancement of the mining industry or of the persons engaged
    therein.

15. The Crown and the local bodies shall have the right to
    survey and take all lands necessary for the construction of
    roads on the demised pastoral lands, and compensation only
    for the value of substantial improvements made by the
    licensee will be paid in case of land resumed for public
    purposes.

16. For all land resumed for public or mining purposes a
    reduction proportionate to the acreage resumed on future
    annual rentals shall be made.

17. Applications to transfer a license under these regula-
    tions shall be made to the Commissioner of Crown Lands,
    and shall be subject to the approval of the Land Board. No
    transfer will be allowed within one year from date of
    lease, nor until permanent improvements have been effected
    to the value of 4s. per acre upon the area held under the
    license. Such permanent improvements shall include re-
    clamation from swamps, clearing of bush not being milling-
    timber as in Regulation No. 9, scrub, gorse, broom, or
    sweetbriar, grassing, cultivation, planting with trees and
    live hedges, the laying-out and cultivating of gardens, fenc-
    ing, grassing, draining, making roads, sinking wells or water-
    tanks, sheep dips, making embankments or protective works
    of any kind, in any way improving the character or fertility
    of the soil, or the erection of any building at lessee’s option
    upon the protected area of 50 acres, as described in Regula-
    tion No. 13.

18. Forfeiture of all licenses may ensue if payment of
    rental is not made within three months of the date it is due,
    or if the licensee fails to effect substantial improvements to
    the value of 4s. per acre within three years from the date of
    the license.

19. All existing pack-tracks, whether surveyed or not, to
    remain available for public use, and where the licensee’s
    fences run across the same a swing-gate must be provided to
    the satisfaction of the Warden.

20. Every holder of a miner’s right shall have the right of
    ingress and egress over the whole area of a pastoral license,
    excepting so much thereof as may be under cultivation and
    substantially fenced, as provided in paragraph 13 of these
    regulations.

21. All water-rights are reserved to the Crown, but not so
    as to deprive the licensee’s stock of access to the water on
    his holding.
