The other double fatality occurred at Loftus Ironstone Mine, Yorkshire. Two miners were setting a place away from a roadway 14 feet wide in a seam of ironstone ten feet thick. A deputy and his assistant were using an axe to cut out a broken baulk, one of eight which were set about nine inches apart and supported at each end on duplicate bearer baulks. A fall of roof canted out all the supports and buried the deputy and one of the miners.
