Details of Event
Fall of roof at the face in the Black Vein, on a road where he was sent to repair the rails. It fell, as he was in a stooping position, from between two slants which were it seems previously unseen. This, with former accidents, rather points to the necessity of these roads being double timbered instead of being secured by props at the side.
