Friday afternoon resulting in the death of Frank W. Chamberland.  
John  Aeno and the deceased were working in a slope on the upper level of the mine, below and to the right of the tunnel with whch it was connected by crosscuts.  The men put in a heavy shot in the roof of the stope which they fired and after the smoke had cleared they re-entered the stope through the crosscut.  A rock loosened by the shot fell behind him, falling on Chamberland and crushing the life out of him.
