Details of Event
Fall of roof, in the Big Vein, at a double parting in Price’s level where repairs and alterations where being effected. Some double, timbers, but not enough, were set to replace road posts. No timbers were knocked out; the fall occurred from a top smooth and a slip on slant at one side. More double timbers might have been set with advantage but the examiner and men working there considered it safe.
