Details of Event
Inspection made and inquest attended. Deceased and three other men were engaged slicing a pillar of ore. At the time of the accident they had a hole charged and ready for firing, when without any warning part of the side which the shot was intended to blast down suddenly slipped off from a slippery parting and caught Regan. The overman had visited the place about an hour previously and thought all was in proper order.
