1871 - Frightful Accident
Yesterday a miner named James Geddes fell down a shaft 150 feet between Nos. 7 and 8 Happy Valley frontage. Dr. Bennett who happened to be on the ground at the time had him conveyed to the Golden Age Hotel. Dr. Bennett was then called in and held a consultation with the former gentleman. It was found upon examination that two bones in the right leg were broken to fragments, the ankle smashed and the back much injured. The patient lies in a very low and precarious state. The sufferer is a very hardworking, industrious and sober miner.
