At the Great Hope Mine, Mt. Monger, East Coolgardie Goldfield, a man was killed through falling down the shaft from the 200ft. to the 300ft. level. Four men were proceeding to their work by the ladders and deceased was getting off at the 200ft. level with the other men, when he slipped and fell down the shaft. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death, and added a rider that "for future safety a guard railing should be placed at both plats."
