Diagnosis or cause of accident
Just before lunch time, six shots were fired in the stope about 20 feet from where the men were working. These shots evidently loosened the stone with the result that, when the men resumed work, the earth fell on them without warning. Frank LAPSLEY and John LYNCH were killed.
