FALL IN SHAFT CAUSES DEATH
Bisbee Workman Met With Fatal Accident in S. & P. Mine
BISBEE, Aug. 8.—As the result of a fall he received at the Cole shaft of
the Superior & Pittsburg company yesterday afternoon, Mose Pascoe passed
away this morning at 9:30 o’clock.
The accident occurred yesterday afternoon at about 4 o’clock while
Pascoe was at work in a stope. He was driving in a timber when a boulder
above him dropped on the floor of lagging on which he was standing,
breaking through the floor and precipitating the unfortunate man down
two sets of timbers on top of a mine car. The injured man was taken to
the Calumet & Arizona hospital for treatment, where he died from his
wounds.
Deceased was born in Hayle, Cornwall, England, 38 years ago, and came to
this country in 1903, locating in Maine. About a year ago he came to
this camp, joining his brothers here. He leaves to mourn his loss his
widow, six brothers and three sisters, all residing in England with the
exception of two brothers. They are Louis and Bert, who reside in South
Bisbee; Thomas, George, Henry and William of Plymouth, Devonshire,
England. The sisters are Minnie Pascoe, Mrs. Bessie Clemmence, Mrs.
Annie Williams and Mrs. H. J. Drew, all of Hayle.
No arrangements have yet been made for the funeral, but it will probably
be held from the Palace undertaking parlors tomorrow.
