from the territories nearest to the prospector's claim or claims. 

 Such license shall be good only for the district in which it is taken 

 out, and shall end at the expiration of one year from the time of its 

 issue, or whenever, sooner than that, the claim is perfected or the 

 prospecting is abandoned. Second, a settler's license shall be 

 granted to any bona fide settler having no timber on his claim, by 

 the local (district) inspector upon the payment of two dollars. 

 Such license shall confer the right, for one year, to cut, for the 

 licensee's own use only and for domestic purposes, timber, fuel 

 and fence material, without waste and under the general regula- 

 tions of the forestry board, upon an area of five acres, which the 

 licensee may desigate near his settlement. Third, a timber license 

 shall l)e granted to any bona fide settler or mine operator or man- 

 ufacturer, for the purpose of allowing him to supply himself or 

 others with timber, fence material or fuel upon the payment of a 

 license fee of five dollars and the further payment, before begin- 

 ning to cut any timber, of a sum equal to one dollar for each and 

 every acre embraced in his license, and, in addition, a stumpage of 

 not less than one cent per stump, actual count, before the removal 

 of the timber. Such license shall be granted for one year and shall 

 confer the right to cut the timber on not less than forty nor more 

 than eighty acres, the same to be selected by the applicant and the 

 selection tu be appioved by the local officer. 



SEC. 11. That all licenses provided for in section ten shall be in 

 printed forms, and shall be issued, upon an order from the district 

 inspector, by the receivers of public money upon the payment of 

 the license fee. Licenses shall be numbered in succession, as 

 applications for them are made, and priority of application shall 

 determine the order in which they are granted. The district 

 inspectors shall receive applications for license on certain days of 

 each week, to be published and made known by them. They shall 

 keep open books, in which shall be recorded in proper order appli- 

 cations for license and the action taken upon them, with the names 

 and residence or post office address of the applicants. The inspec- 

 tors shall also notify the rangers of each license granted in their 

 ranges, and the rangers shall be required to aid licensees in locating 

 their claims. No unused "settler's license" or "timber license" 

 shall be renewed unless good cause is shown for its not having been 

 previously used, nor shall any license be granted to any person who 

 in the use of a previous license has not complied with the regula- 

 tions of the forestry board. No licenses of any kind shall be trans- 

 ferred from one company to another and continue to be valid 

 unless the transfer of the same is authorized by the forestry board.
