DOBSON MINE TRAGEDY.
COMMISSION OF INQUIRY.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
GREYMOUTH, Thursday. The Dobson inquiry was resumed this morning.
Ex-mining Inspector 0. G. Strongman gave evidence that his theory as to the cause of one explosion at the time of the disaster was the firing of a shot in the dip workings by the deceased miner Alfred Noakes. Mr Strongman admitted that his theory was based on incomplete evidence, but in his opinion it was the most probable cause of the disaster. The chairman announced that the commission would make another inspection of the mine.
