PROSPECTOR'S DEATH. - COMPLAINED OF SMOKE IN SHAFT
Seizure While in Shaft.
KALGOORLIE, Nov. 5.--Thomas Wardell (60), married, prospector, of Mt. Monger, died in the Kalgoorlie District
Hospital about 6 p.m. today. A post mortem examination will be held. With Patrick Murray, Wardell was working a prospecting show about two miles north of Creedon's station, Mt. Monger. While working in the shaft at 1.30 p.m., two hours after having fired out, Wardell complained of the smoke and asked to be pulled to the surface. He was suffering severe pains around the heart and when his condition became worse his mate communicated with Mr. Hugh Creedon at Mt. Monger. Mr. Creedon rang the Kalgoorlie police and a doctor, Mines Inspector L. C. Olive and Constable McCulloch visited Mt. Monger. Wardell was brought to the Kalgoorlie Hospital in the St. John, ambulance.
