Show Accident at the Ontario. i An accident occurred at the Ontario On-tario mine about noon yesterday, by which Mr. R, Gluyas, chief engineer at the old shaft, bad both bis legs broken just below the knee. He had ascended from the bottom of the mine in tbe cage, but the engineer carried him so far above the top of the shaft that he feared being run up into tbe sheave, and in order to save himself from thus being injured, jumped from the cage. He cleared the abaft, but, as Btated, broke both his legs. In all probability tbe accident acci-dent would not have occurred had not the cage been managed by a substitute substi-tute at tbe time, the regular engineer being at bis dinner. - |
