FALL OF 170 FEET.
TWO MINERS KILLED
[press association.]
WAIHI, March 11. A fatal accident occurred at the 'Waihi Company's mine yesterday, a miner named J. O'Malley, a single man, being killed instantaneously, and his mate, F. White, a married man, so seriously injured that he died in the evening. It is surmised that the men lost their footing in the shaft when in the act of attaching a tackle block to the bar across the shaft. Probably one man lost his balance, and falling, knocked his mate off the ladder, the fall being about 170 feet.
