Mr.. David Roberts, ST., and his son, Arthur,
both had an extremely narrow escape from
death last week. They were at work in the
Foulk Jones & Sons slate quarry, near Delta
and filling crevice in the rock with powder,
they exploded it in order to throw down a
ledge. The blast for some reason hung fire
and the men took half-keg of powder and
tools, and setting the powder nearby, attempt
ed to force open the crevice before recharging.
While SO engaged the powder in the previous
charge pulled furiously out, severely burning
both men. The powder in the keg exploded
with tremendous force. The elderly Roberts
was hurled violently to the ground, while the
son was thrown over twenty-five feet down
from the ledge, fortunately alighting on his
feet on pile of rubbish, escaping with several
severe bruises in addition to the burns.
