    every wilful neglect or refusal to furnish the same.

11. The said Mining Inspector may at his discretion
    require any such return to be verified by the statutory

    be exempt from the preceding regulations.

14. If any machine registered to be used only for
    analysis or other scientific purposes, shall be used
    for treating any ore or mineral substance for other
