Details of Event
Fall of ground from above where he and another were attending to a rock drill. One of his comrades was also injured two others jumped clear on receiving warning. There was some water making at the place and this would tend to allow of or cause sudden falls to occur. The foreman and the men all allege that they considered the place quite safe.
