Function / Content

This series consists of application files for residential leases (RL) in District F [Barrow Creek] Kurundi goldfields in the Northern Territory. The file cover has date application received, subject (name of mine or person names in application) locality, area of claim, dates for objection, hearing, recommended, approved or refused, gazetted, posted, application plotted, map number, if forfeited or withdrawn. Each file contains the application for (residential inserted) lease with a sketch of the area being applied for and measurements in chains, any objections received, whether the application is approved or not, rental payments, and general correspondence. The Mines Branch, Head Office, was moved to Alice Springs during the Second World War and remained there during the period 1942-1953. A Darwin office of the Mines Branch operated during 1946-1953 and was then merged with the Mines Branch, Head Office, in 1953 when it was moved back from Alice Springs to Darwin. Multiple copies of documents were made.
