148. If service cannot conveniently be effected in

     clause hereof, it may, if the Warden or the Clerk of
     the Court so directs, be effected in any of the follow-

(1.) By affixing the copy in some conspicuous
position upon the site of his last known
place of business or abode in the colony,
or upon the site of his address for service,
or, if the proceedings relate to any
mining privilege or ground held, claimed,
or applied for by the person or party
to be served, then upon such privilege
or ground; or

(2.) By posting the copy in a duly registered
letter addressed to such person or party
at his last known place of business or
abode in the colony; or

(3.) In such other manner as the Warden or
the Clerk of the Court directs.

149. In case of service under the last preceding
     clause hereof, a notification of the mode of service,
     and of the fact that it has been directed by the
     Warden or Clerk, shall be advertised in some news-
     paper published or circulating in the locality of the
     Courthouse in which the proceedings are being dealt
     with, and in such case (but subject to the provisions
     of the next succeeding clause hereof relating to
     service by post) the date on which the advertise-
     ment first appears shall be deemed to be the date
     of the service.

150. In every case where under these regulations
     service is effected by posting a registered letter, the
     date on which the letter would reach its address in
     the ordinary course of post shall be deemed to be
     the date of the service.

151. The foregoing provisions as to service shall
     not apply in the case of a summons, the mode of
     service whereof is prescribed by subsections (14) to
     (19) of section 331 of the Mining Act.

152. In the case of a summons where the defend-
     ant is beyond the limits of the colony, but has an
     agent within the colony authorised to defend actions,
     service may, by leave of the Court, be made upon
     such agent.

As to Tent or Hut Ground.

153. In addition to the other privileges conferred
     by the Mining Act or these regulations on the holder
     of a miner’s right, he shall as such holder, and with-
     out application to the Warden, be entitled to per-
     sonally occupy as tent or hut ground for his resi-
     dence an area not exceeding 24 ft. frontage by
     48 ft. depth on any unoccupied Crown land open

     mining purposes.

As to Sanitary Provisions.

154. The holders of all residence or business sites
     or of tent or hut grounds shall comply with all

     also with all the provisions of “The Public Health
     Act, 1900,” or its amendments relating thereto.

As to Rents, &c., payable to Owner of Land.

155. All rents, royalties, and license fees to which
     the owner of land is entitled under section 59 of the
     Mining Act shall, when received by the Receiver,
     be paid by him into his Deposit Account, and there
     held until he can pay them over to the owner en-
     titled thereto.

As to Receivers.

156. In every case where, under the powers in that
     behalf conferred by section 166 of the Mining Act,
     the Commissioner of Crown Lands exercises the
     powers and functions of the Warden and Registrar
     respectively, the Receiver of Land Revenue of the
     land district shall exercise the powers and functions
     of the Receiver of Gold Revenue.

As to Appeals.

157. The result of every appeal under section 334
     of the Mining Act shall be forthwith communicated

     former Mining Act shall be deemed to be duly regis-

     liable to pay the annual registration fee hereinafter
     prescribed.

     a mining agent under section 331 of the Mining Act

     be publicly notified by and at the expense of the
     applicant by advertisement twice at least in one or
     more newspapers circulating in the district.

160. Such application shall state the particular
     mining district, or the particular localities within
     such district, to which the application is intended
     to relate.

161. An application shall not be granted autho-
     rising any mining agent to appear in any Warden’s
     Court held outside the mining district for which
     he is registered.
