A miner was killed at Lingdale Ironstone Mine, Cleveland. Deceased was found lying unconscious 10 ft. from the face. There were two penetrating wounds in the forehead, the skull was fractured, and the brain lacerated ; he died a few hours later. He was working alone, and it was clear he had been struck by stones projected by a shot. It would appear that deceased had either shortened a squib, or lighted one that had died out. From the position he was found in, it is evident he had been at the shot hole when the charge exploded.
