1. ““Where a general custom or usage exists in a mine that timber orders shall be signed by the miner and placed in a box provided for that purpose by the mine operator, the signing of such order by a miner and depositing the same in such box constitutes in law a demand for timbers upon the mine manager and the mine operator, and a failure to comply with such demand when so made constitutes a willful failure by the mine operator within the meaning of the statute. * ⅜ ⅜ To hold otherwise would result in enabling a mine operator to adopt a method in that regard whereby he might evade the responsibilty and liability imposed upon him by the statute.””
