Coupon
A courtesy slip , also known as a courtesy certificate, is a certificate under mining law that was issued to a mother as a letter of approval by the mountain master or mountain bailiff . With the courtesy slip, the mother secured the first claim to the deposit at the mining authority. However, the permit was only granted to the mother if he had previously informed the property owner about the existing deposit and the latter did not claim to exploit the deposit himself. The mother was certified by the courtesy slip that he had the right to mine the deposit .
formalities
Had a miner a deposit muted , so he had to his treasure trove let quasi accredited by the Mining Authority. For this he had to draw up a courtesy slip which was given to the mountain master. To do this, he put it on the miner's desk. As a result of this process, the mountain master was obliged to accept and confirm the courtesy slip. The miner calls the handing over of the courage slip to the miner the "Muthung". To be on the safe side, the mother always created two identical courtesy notes, which the miner provided with the date and time of submission. The mountain master kept one of the two courtesy notes for his files, the other was returned to Mother as confirmation. The returned coupon was then called a coupon. The information on the coupon was given. So the following had to be in the coupon:
- The name of the mother
- The name of the landowner on whose property the deposit was
- The exact place name
- The nature of mineral resources (ores)
- The painting of the corridor
- The number of suspected treasure troves, dimensions, tunnels and length fields
- The exact date (year, month, day and hour) on which it was muted
The report to the mountain official had to be made no later than four weeks after the presumption. After the submission of the courage sheet, the newly muted deposit was entered in the mountain book by the mountain clerk . In order for the mining officials to get an idea of the supposed treasure trove in advance, the information in the courtesy slip had to be as precise as possible. After reviewing the Muthzettels and Befahrung the deposit by a mining officials which took place ceremony of Berechtsame . The entitlement granted was entered in the lending book and the referee received a certificate of confirmation or a loan certificate as legitimation .
particularities
Although the property owner did not have a priority claim to the mineral resource after the speculation, he had to be informed by the mother about the deposit that was on his property. If the property owner did not claim to become a trader, he could not derive any claims from the sale of the mineral resources. He was entitled to compensation for damage or restrictions on the use of his property caused by the mining operation.
It became problematic when an older courtesy slip was already deposited in the mountain book. Then the mother had to prove that he was also the owner of this older courage note. He could only prove this if he had a copy of the older courage note drawn up and authenticated by the Bergschreiber.
If the mother could not find the mountain master in his office, he had the opportunity, in the presence of a witness, to visit the mountain master in his apartment and to hand him the courtesy slip. If he could not find the mountain master there either, he had the option of handing the courage off to a mountain jury or to a court.
Faulty coupon
The form of the coupon had to correspond to the requirements of the respective mining laws. The mining permit for a muted deposit could only be applied for with a correctly filled out coupon slip. If one or more important pieces of information were missing from a coupon, the mother had a problem. Was z. B. instead of the exact description of the fossil only general mineral entered or the delimitation of the deposit was not specified, then this coupon was illegal. These illegal coupons were rejected by the mountain officials. The courage had to ascribe the consequences of this failure to comply with the law to himself.
