Provided that if the land has to be surveyed the Warden may accept as a sufficient survey a sketch-plan by a surveyor, showing approximately the due measurements and locality of the land, the cost of the survey not to exceed £5.

(3.) The area of the land comprised in the application shall not exceed 400 acres.

(4.) There shall be payable in respect of the license an annual acreage-rent at the rate of 1s. per acre.

(6.) The acreage-rent shall be payable as provided by subsection (j) of section 170 of the Mining Act.

(7.) The first payment of royalty shall be due and payable on the same day as the first half-yearly instalment of rent, and be in respect of the royalty for the period elapsing between the date of the license and such day; and thereafter the royalty shall be paid monthly on the last day of each month:

Provided that all sums paid in respect of royalty for any period shall, to the extent of the rent payable, be deemed to be in or towards satisfaction of such rent.

(1.) The licensee shall, within six months after the date of his license, provide and fit up, either upon the land comprised therein or on some other site approved by the Warden, a substantial and fully equipped sawmill plant, including all the necessary buildings thereto appertaining; and also shall at all times thereafter during the currency of the license keep such plant in continuous working operation cutting timber from said sawmill license, unless valid and satisfactory reasons can be given to the Warden for any temporary stoppage.

(2.) If such plant is not already provided and fitted up when the license is granted, the Warden shall require the licensee to give security to his satisfaction that it will be provided and fitted up within six months thereafter.

(3.) Except for the purpose of constructing the sawmill, and any tramway or other work in connection therewith, the licensee shall not cut, or sell, or otherwise dispose of any timber on the land until the sawmill is in full working operation.

(4.) If at any time the mill is closed for a longer time than the Warden thinks necessary or reasonable, he may give the licensee notice in writing to resume work within the period (not exceeding one month) named in the notice.

(5.) If the licensee fails or neglects to resume and continue the bona fide working of the mill in terms of such notice, the Warden may forfeit the license.

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

(9.) The licensee shall be entitled to occupy, for his sawmilling purposes, so much of the surface of the land comprised in the license as is reasonably required for his sawmill and sawmilling works.

(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.
