The operator of every mine shall have the right to adopt special safety rules for the safety and operation of his mine or mines, covering the work pertaining thereto inside and outside of the same, which, however, shall not be in conflict with the provisions of this Act. Such rules, when established, shall be posted at some conspicuous place about the mines, where the rules may be seen by all miners at such mines, or in lieu thereof the operator shall furnish a printed copy of such rules to each of his miners.
