Other Information
COOLGARDIE, November 18. The inquest on the body of Isaac Peate, who was killed at Burbank's No. 1 West mine, was concluded today. The jury found that the deceased met his death through a stone from near the top of the shaft falling on his head, which stone was accidentally displaced by Thomas Bell when being lowered by the windlass. No blame, it was stated, was attachable to any of the men employed on the mine, but the jury added a rider to the effect that the shaft was unsafe to work in.
