    therein.

    Act are fixed and maintained in working order, and that
    the engineman understands the code of signals.

    see that every cage used for the purpose of raising and lower-
    ing persons in the shaft shall have a proper covering over-
    head.

37. The engineer or some competent person shall see that
    all ropes are carefully attached to the drum, and when the
    cage is at the pit-bottom there must not be less than two
    rounds of rope on the drum, and shall report any breakage or
    derangement of machinery to the manager.

38. The engineer or other competent person appointed
    shall see that each boiler is laid off and cleaned when re-
    quired. He shall make a careful examination of the same
    and all its connections, and not allow it to work unless in
    good working order.

39. The engineer shall see that every fly-wheel, and all
    exposed and dangerous parts of the machinery, shall be
    securely fenced.

    the pit-bottom, and carefully drive the engine, and not leave
    the handle whilst persons are in the shaft; and shall not
    allow any person to remain in the enginehouse. He shall
    pay particular attention to the indicators and signals, and
    shall stop the engine if any defect is perceived.

44. The engineman shall not leave his work whilst any
    person is underground until he is relieved by the engineman
    coming on the next shift, except in cases where a proper
    ladder-way or other means of exit from the mine is available;
    and, in case of sickness or lawful absence, he must give
    early and sufficient notice to the manager, so that a substi-
    tute may be provided.

45. The engineman shall make himself thoroughly ac-
    quainted, and act in accordance, with the signals laid down
    in these rules.

46. When work is suspended the engineman shall leave the
    cages in such a position that they do not impede the ventila-
    tion, and so as not to leave the pit-top unfenced.

47. Whilst any person is in the shaft the engineman shall
    drive the engine at a reduced speed.

48. The engineman shall, from time to time during the day,
    exercise the fittings of the boilers, and at once report any
    defects to the manager or engineer. The engineman shall
    from time to time examine the floats, safety-valves, and
    steam-gauges, so as to ascertain the level of the water and
    pressure of the steam.

The following special rules shall be in force at any mine
where any incline or engine-plane is in use:—

49. The brakesman shall, during work, see that the
    machinery, ropes, signals, &c., are in proper working order,
    and, if he perceive anything wrong, at once report the same
    to the manager or his deputy. He must be cautious in con-
    ducting the wagons, and see that they are securely coupled.
    He shall pay attention in giving and receiving the necessary
    signals. No person shall ride on any incline without the
    permission of the manager.

50. The manager shall see that proper stops and blocks
    are fixed at the top of each incline.

Miscellaneous.

51. No stranger shall be allowed to enter any mine without
    the permission of the mining manager.

52. In case of any of the duties defined by these rules being
    temporarily performed by any person not specially appointed
    thereto, the said person shall be subject to these rules in like
    manner as if he were specially appointed.

53. The persons employed in a mine may from time to
    time appoint two of their number to inspect the mine at
    their own cost, and the person so appointed shall be allowed,
    once at least in every month, accompanied, if the manager
    of the mine thinks fit, by himself or one or more officers of
    the mine, to go to every part of the mine and to inspect the
    shafts, levels, planes, working-place, return, air-ways, venti-
    lating apparatus, old workings, and machinery, and shall be

afforded by the manager and all persons at the mine every
facility for the purpose of such inspection, and shall make a
true report of the result of such inspection, and such report
shall be recorded in a book to be kept at the mine for the
purpose, and shall be signed by the person who made the
report.

54. A copy of these rules shall be supplied to every person
    employed in or about the mine, and it shall be the duty of
    every such person to peruse and make himself acquainted
    and act in accordance therewith, and return them to the
    manager when leaving the mine; and any person wilfully
    damaging a copy of these rules shall be guilty of an offence
    against the Act.
