(7.) In no case shall any two registered brands be the same or so like one another as to be calculated to deceive.

(10.) The licensee shall at all times keep full and accurate accounts of all timber cut by him under his license, and permit the accounts to be inspected at any time by any Inspector, and shall also furnish to the Receiver monthly returns showing particulars of all timber cut during the preceding month, together with such other details as the Receiver or the Inspector requires.

(11.) Subject to the specific provisions of regulations relating to timber-cutting rights, the provisions of the Mining Act and the regulations thereunder relating to the grant, registration, transfer, pro-

Provided that at any time within three months after surrender, forfeiture, or abandonment, the licensee shall be entitled to remove all buildings and plant belonging to him on the land.

(12.) Whenever the licensee of a sawmill area obtains a license for a reserved area, the first-mentioned license shall be surrendered and cancelled:

Provided that the Warden shall grant him, without fee, the right to use for the purpose of working such reserved area the sites (if any) of any mill, building, or tramway belonging to him on the first-mentioned area.

110. When making his application for the license, or at any time thereafter during the currency of the license, the applicant or licensee may, by application in the form numbered 67 in the First Schedule hereto, apply to have reserved for him not more than three additional areas not exceeding 200 acres each, which shall be so situated with respect to each other and to the area in the application or license that the four shall form one area within continuous boundary-lines, and such boundary-lines shall be deemed to be continuous, notwithstanding that the area may be intersected by road or railway-lines, and in the event of the areas above referred to being situated not less than four miles distant from a railway-line, or a port, the Warden may grant a fourth additional area of 200 acres subject to similar conditions. And the Warden may, by certificate under his hand in the form numbered 68 in the First Schedule hereto, reserve the same accordingly upon being satisfied that the sawmill plant referred to in subclause (1) of the next preceding clause of these regulations has or will be duly provided and fitted up as therein required, and that in the case of any existing license all its conditions have been duly complied with to date; and with respect to such application and certificate the following provisions shall apply:—

(1.) Subclauses (1) and (2) of clause 108 of these regulations shall apply.

(2.) The certificate shall continue in force for one year, but may be renewed from year to year so long as the license continues in force, and shall ipso facto cease and determine with the license.

(3.) The certificate, and each annual renewal thereof, shall be registered.

(4.) The renewal may be effected in the same manner, mutatis mutandis, as in the case of a tunnel prospecting license, and for that purpose clause 11 of these regulations, with all necessary modifications, shall apply.
