PRICE FERRIER
Arizona Republican Newspaper
December 18, 1898

Price Ferrier, a miner, was killed at the Holbrook shaft at 
Bisbee on Friday about 10 o'clock. He had pushed a car on the 
stage at the 400 foot level and started up the shaft but failed 
to drop the bar that holds the car on the stage.  The car caught 
the timbers between the 200 and 300 foot level, tearing the 
bottom out of the cage and throwing Ferrier down the shaft to 
the bottom of the 500 foot level. He was probably dead before 
he fell as an iron pick that was on the car was jammed through 
his body.

He was about 35 years old and single, had been in the employ 
of the company over a year. His brother was killed in the mines 
about two years ago.
