Section 536.070 - Examination and survey of private land; condemnation; appeal from findings of appraiser1. Any person or persons proposing to construct a ditch or flume under the provisions of NRS 536.060 to 536.090, inclusive, shall have the right to enter upon private lands for the purpose of examining and surveying the same.2. Where such lands cannot be obtained by the consent of the owner or owners thereof, so much of the same as may be necessary for the construction of the ditch or flume may be appropriated by such person or persons after making compensation therefor, as follows. Such person or persons shall select one appraiser, and the owner or owners shall select one, and the two so selected shall select a third. In case the owner or owners shall from any cause fail, for the period of 5 days, to select an appraiser as herein provided, then the appraiser selected by the person or persons proposing to construct the ditch or flume shall select a second appraiser, and the two so selected shall select a third. In either case the three selected shall, within 5 days after their selection, meet and appraise the lands sought to be appropriated, after having been first duly sworn by a person entitled to administer oaths, to make a true appraisement thereof, according to the best of their knowledge and ability.3. If such person or persons shall tender to such owner or owners the appraised value of such land, they shall be entitled to proceed in the construction of the ditch or flume over the lands so appraised, notwithstanding such tender may be refused; but such tender shall always be kept good by such person or persons.4. An appeal may be taken by either party from the findings of the appraisers to the district court of the county within which the lands so appraised shall be situated, at any time within 10 days after such appraisement.2:100:1866; A 1869, 129; B § 3853; BH § 363; C § 426; RL § 4711; NCL § 79982:100:1866; A 1869, 129; B § 3853; BH § 363; C § 426; RL § 4711; NCL § 7998
