| Description | |
|
|
Collingwood Main. Explosion by which eight workmen were killed and two severely injured. The ventilation was obstructed by a creep, and candles were in use. The overman, deputies, and others, had gone down to secure the timber, iron, and other materials, which were likely to be lost owing to the creep, and the gas fired at their lights. The mine had previously been in a safe state.
