- Details of Event
- Premature explosion of gelignite while he was charging a hole with a wood stemmer. No detonator was in the hole. He was probably forcing the explosive down in order to compress it at the bottom of the hole. The stock of gelignite in the magazine was found to be in a plastic condition.
