Details of Event
Fall of side at face; an attempt was being made to hold up an irregular bed of shale, which had intervened between the coal seam and the regular roof. One prop had been set under it, but at least one other should have been fixed. The shale gave way at a wet division between the beds and fell upon him. Red vein. Naked light. Inclination of seam 1 in 3.
