VPRS 2424 Mining Warden's Court Mining Application Register

In their administrative role Mining Wardens were required to receive and register applications for various mining leases and licences in their area. The types of lease and licence applications which could have been registered include:Gold Mining Leases (often known simply as Mining Leases) from 1859Mineral Leases from 1861Mineral Search Licences from 1862Gold Mining Leases on Reserved Land from 1873Property Leases from 1885Tailings Licences from 1897Petroleum Prospecting Licences from 1935Petroleum Mineral Leases from 1935.It is not certain that all of these types of lease or licence were registered by the Wardens.To 1915 lease or licence applications were submitted firstly to the District Warden and then forwarded to the Mines Department in Melbourne. From 1915 applications were required to be submitted direct to the Department and from there were forwarded to the Warden.

就其行政职责而言，采矿监管员（Mining Wardens）需接收并登记其辖区内各类采矿租约与许可证的申请。
可登记的租约与许可证申请类型包括：1859年起的金矿采矿租约（Gold Mining Leases，通常简称为采矿租约（Mining Leases））、1861年起的矿物租约（Mineral Leases）、1862年起的矿物勘探许可证（Mineral Search Licences）、1873年起的保留土地金矿采矿租约（Gold Mining Leases on Reserved Land）、1885年起的物业租约（Property Leases）、1897年起的尾矿许可证（Tailings Licences）、1935年起的石油勘探许可证（Petroleum Prospecting Licences）以及1935年起的石油矿物租约（Petroleum Mineral Leases）。
但无法确定监管员是否登记了所有上述类型的租约与许可证申请。
1915年之前，租约与许可证申请需先提交至区级采矿监管员（District Warden），再转送至墨尔本矿业部（Mines Department）；1915年起，申请需直接提交至该部门，再由其转送至监管员处。
