ROBERT GOLD
Arizona Republican Newspaper
July 3, 1902

Coroner C.S. Clark returned this morning from Gleeson where 
he went to hold an inquest on the remains of Robert Gold, 
the miner who met an accidental death at the Copper Belle 
on Sunday by falling from the bucket to the bottom, several 
hundred feet, sustaining injuries from which he never 
recovered consciousness.  The verdict of the jury was to 
the effect that death was due to an accident and no blame 
was attached to the company or any of its employees.  The 
deceased was about 25 years old and was a universal 
favorite among the miners.  His death was caused by his 
stepping off into the shaft hole of the mine on the 100 
level and falling to the 300 level crushing his skull.  
He lived about three hours.
