Details of Event
Inspection made and inquest attended. Mouring had just filled a bogie when a mass of ore about 10 tons weight suddenly fell from the side and caught him. The working place was about 30 feet high. The sides and roof had been officially examined a few hours previously and were considered strong and sound.
