Miscellaneous Underground.

No. 36 in list. — Deceased was an official with a great responsibility, having charge of the whole of the ropes. He was examining an underground haulage rope near the shaft when he heard an empty set of tubs approach him, and in stepping out of the way he got before a full set coming in the opposite direction and was run over. There was no fixed place for him to make his examination, and he certainly did not choose a very safe one on the occasion of his accident.
