chute which he was drawing became
hung up. 1t was believed that il
would have to be blasted to start the
rock running, and he had just en-
tered the chute prepared to do the
blasting when the rock started to
run. One of teh heavy pieces struck
him over the left eye and crushed
his forehead as stated above.
