Where livestock is kept underground the construction of the stable shall, as far as practicable, be free from all combustible material. No hay or straw shall be taken into the mine unless same be compressed into compact bales. The stable must be so placed that the air ventilating the same is returned immediately to the main outlet air course, and not allowed to go further into the mine where the men are working. All refuse and waste shall be removed from the stable in the mine and shall not be allowed to accumulate. Stables constructed underground after the passage of this section shall be located not nearer than fifty (50) feet to any opening to the mine used as a means of ingress or egress by employees.
