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

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 cur-
rency 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 one or more additional areas of not more

£2,000 ... ... 800 ,,

£4,000 ... ... 1,600 ,,
And the Warden may, by certificate under his
hand, in the form numbered 68 in the First Sche-
dule hereto, reserve the same accordingly upon
being satisfied that the sawmill plant referred to
in subclause (l) 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
five years, but may be renewed there-
after 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 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 modifi-
cations, shall apply.
(5.) There shall be payable in respect of the
certificate, and of each renewal thereof,
an acreage-rent at the rate of 1s. per
acre per annum, and such rent shall be
payable by two equal half-yearly in-
stalments in advance.
(6.) The certificate shall not be transferable
apart from the license.
(7.) The certificate shall not confer any right
to occupy the land or cut timber or
otherwise use the same, but at any time
during its currency the licensee may
exchange his existing license for a new
sawmill license for any continuous area
(not exceeding 400 acres) out of the
land comprised in the certificate.
(8.) Such new license shall specify the certifi-
cate out of which the land comprised
in the new license is taken.
(9.) The Warden, when granting the new li-
cense, shall, by memorandum under his
hand on the certificate, cancel the cer-
tificate as to the land comprised in the
new license, and thereafter the certificate
shall be deemed to relate only to the
residue of the land, and the acreage-
rent under the certificate shall abate
accordingly.
(10.) Such memorandum shall be registered.
(11.) Upon the grant of the new license all
references herein contained to the
former license shall apply to the new
license in lieu of to the former license.
(12.) As against his liability for acreage-rent
under his new license, the licensee shall
be credited with the sums paid by him
for acreage-rent under the former li-
cense or under the certificate for any
period subsequent to the commencement
of the term of the new license:
Provided that, in the case of acreage-
rent paid as aforesaid under the certi-
ficate, the sum to be credited as afore-
said shall be the acreage-rent so paid
in respect of the area comprised in the
new license, being the area as to which
the certificate has been cancelled.
Hand-sawing and Timber-splitting Warrants.
111. On application in that behalf, filed in the
office of the Registrar, the Warden may grant to
any person, being the holder of a miner's right, a
warrant entitling him during its currency to cut
timber (other than kauri-trees or trees reserved by
the Warden) growing or standing on the land com-
prised in the warrant, and to sell or otherwise dis-
pose of the same for any purpose:
Provided that he shall not be entitled to cut
timber for sawmilling purposes except for his own
use, and with the consent of the Warden.
112. With respect to such application and war-
rant the provisions of subclauses (1) and (2) of
clause 108 and subclauses (6), (9), and (11) of
clause 109 of these regulations, mutatis mutandis,
and also the provisions following, shall apply:—
