Details of Event
Deceased was boring a hole in a stope of ore, about 5-feet above the sole of the working, when a mass of stone, weighing about 5 or 6 cwts., fell from the roof, 18 feet above, and struck him. The place had been examined officially twice during the morning; once before the workmen entered and once after.
