7. Deposits. — No application for the grant of a mica-mining 

 lease will be taken into consideration unless the applicant deposits 

 as security in respect of each lease such sum as the Collector may 

 determine or gives security to the like amount to the satisfaction of 

 the Collector, the maximum deposit in any case being Rs. 500. 

 The security deposit will not be refunded until the licensee has, 

 on the expiration or resignation of his license, filled in all pits 

 excavated by him to the satisfaction of the Collector, and if he fails 

 to do this himself within 6 months the work will be done at his 

 expense. Should the licensee convert his prospecting license into a 

 mining lease the deposit will, subject to such deduction as the Col- 

 lector may order on account of damage done to the land, be credited 

 as a mining deposit under paragraph 19. 



8. No licensee shall cut or injure any tree on unoccupied and 

 unreserved land or reserved forests without the permission of the 

 Collector in writing. But it will be open to him to acquire any such 

 trees at prices fixed by the Collector. 



9. Neither the licensee nor any one claiming through or under 

 him shall assign the license or transfer any right or interest there- 

 under without the previous consent in writing of the Local Govern- 

 ment. 



10. In case of any breach on the part of the licensee of any 

 of the conditions of the license the Collector may summarily revoke 

 the license and thereupon all rights conferred thereby or enjoyed 

 thereunder shall cease.
