Meiklejohn, James, 22 Oct 1909, aged 59, Miner, Deceased was shovelling out coal at his roadhead, when part of the face of the brushing suddenly burst off, and injured him so severely that he died an hour later

Strachan, Andrew, 07 Oct 1911, (accident: 23 Jan 1911), aged 38, Miner, He was working coal from stoops left among old workings. As he was holing the coal a stone fell from the roof of his working place, and broke his back. He died on the 7th October

Young, Joseph, 14 May 1904, aged 45, Bottomer, There are two stopping places, one in the lower bottom and one five fathoms above, where coal is "dugged," and deceased was in charge of the former. The arranged signal was given by him when north cage arrived at lower bottom to rest it, and he took off the empty and was putting on a loaded one when the cage was raised, apparently without a signal, and he was fatally crushed at the door heads. At the time of the accident, and for a short time before, the winding-engine was being worked by a person under 22 years of age
