Whenever the operator of any coal mine shall neglect or refuse or for any cause not satisfactory to the department fails to furnish to it the map or plan of such mine or a copy thereof or of the extension thereto, as provided for in this article, such operator shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. In addition thereto, the department may make or cause to be made an accurate map or plan of such mine at the expense of the owner thereof, and the cost of the same may be recovered by law from the operator in the same manner as other debts by civil action in the name of the Secretary of Labor and for its use.
