- Fall of roof at face; a large piece of overhanging shale, 12 feet long by 3 feet wide in the centre, and 1 foot 6 inches in thickness, fell upon him. The seam lying at a considerable inclination rendered the place particularly dangerous and the spragging was found to be unsatisfactory. Lower Pumpquart Seam. Safety lamps.
