ACCIDENT AT SANTA RITA.
Amado Robiero Falls TO Death In thu
Shaft In Chino Mine.

Amado Roblero, n Mexican miner,
employed by the leasers OF the Chino
mine. in the Santa Rita camp. was ac-
cidentally killed last Sunday morning.
says the Silver City Independent.
A few minutes prior bucket OF ore
had been hoisted to the surface and
the contents emptied into car. and
thence taken to the dump. A com
panion in charge OF the work at the
mouth OF the shaft, fingered to look at
some OF the mineral, and while he was
so doing the car automatically went
back to the trapdoor covering the
shaft which should have been closed.
While the companion was SO occupied,
however the deceased had opened the
door and started to descend the ladder,
leaving the trapdoor open and failing
to notify his fellow workman. The re-
suit was that the car dropped into the
shaft. striking Roblero and carrying
him to the bottom of he shaft. a dis
lance Of eighty-five feet. killing him in
stantly.
No blame can be attached for the &C.
cident. as II was due solely to the care
lessness OF the deceased. Roblero was
a man Of family and a good workman.
