Sec. 906. [=Duties of chief inspector.=] The chief inspector of
mines shall designate the counties, or portions thereof, which shall
compose the different districts, and may change such districts
whenever in his judgment the best interests of the service so
require. He shall issue such instructions, and make such rules and
regulations for the government of the district inspectors of mines
consistent with the powers and duties vested in them by law, as will
secure uniformity of action and proceedings throughout all the
districts. The chief inspector of mines may order one district
inspector of mines to the assistance of any other, or may make
temporary transfers of district inspectors of mines, when, in his
judgment, the efficiency of the service demands or permits, and with
the consent of the governor, may remove any district inspector of
mines for reasonable cause. The chief inspector of mines shall give
such personal assistance to the district inspectors of mines as they
may need, and make such personal inspection of the mines as he deems
necessary and his other duties permit. He shall keep in his office
and carefully preserve all maps, surveys, reports and other papers,
required by law to be filed with him, and arrange and preserve them
as a permanent record of ready, convenient and connected reference.
He shall, upon receipt of a report of the district inspector of
mines, or of a committee of miners, covering the conditions of a
mine, promptly mail a copy thereof to the general office of the
owner, lessee or agent of such mine. (Sec. 967.)
