ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
PAEROA, this afternoon.
A serious accident occurred at the Waitekauri Jubilee mine last night. It appears that sparks from a small engine used in one of the drives set fire to the timbers supporting the wall, with the result that the timbers gave way and a large block of ground caved in, entombing two miners named Walsh and Brernan, who were at work in the face. Work rescue has been going on all day, but so far the imprisoned men have not been reached. The Mining Inspector passed through Paeroa to the scene of the casualty. Air compressors are at work, and hopes are entertained of the men's recovery.
