Drummond, Alexander, 04 Sep 1923, aged 55, Gate fell on him

Ferguson, Alexander, 10 Nov 1900, aged 49, Blacksmith, Deceased descended the shaft to the lower bottom and put shoes on some horses, and afterwards he and a roadsman came to the mid-working, 53 fathoms above, and also shod horses there. After an interval they came back to the shaft to be raised. The usual signal was given, and the roadsman stepped on to the cage, and deceased followed and shut the gate behind. When on the cage the roadsman asked if the gate was shut, to which deceased replied "Almost," and the cage was raised ; the roadsman heard a slight noise, and on turning round saw deceased disappear down the shaft. From the marks it was evident that deceased was caught at the door heads and carried up a distance of 10 ft., and there forced over a "bunton" at end of the shaft. It is probable deceased had put his head outside the cage to see if the gate was properly shut when he was caught
