Such inspector, and each of his assistants, shall also have power to immediately stop the operation of any mine or part thereof where any dangerous or unlawful conditions are found: Provided, however, that where conditions exist justifying him to do so, he may grant a reasonable length of time for making repairs: And provided, further, that where any stops are enforced, such inspector and each of his assistants shall have the power subsequently to allow such mine or part of mine to be reopened when the dangerous or unlawful conditions have been remedied, or removed, so that they no longer exist.
