Narrative

Miner was trimming a guide in the shaft when the cage moved upward pinching his left arm between the cage and a shaft timber causing contusion to his lower arm. The hoistman had received a call on the mine phone telling him that the cage was released, he made them repeat this three times, then he moved the cage up causing the accident. No one will admit to making the phone call.
