the mine at any one time. No explosive oil shall be used or taken
into the mines for lighting purposes except when used in approved
safety lamps, and oil shall not be stored or taken into the mines in

smoke as pure animal oil shall be sold or used for illuminating
purposes in any mine. Any person selling for use in mines, or any
person using, explosive or impure oils in any mine contrary to this
section, shall be punished by a fine of not less than Fifty Dollars
($50.00) nor more than Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00), or
imprisonment in the county jail not to exceed thirty (30) days, or
both such fine and imprisonment. For special convenience, the
operator shall keep on hand a supply of pure oil for illuminating
purposes, to comply with the requirements of this section, when
requested to do so by a majority of the miners working therein.
