     Grant County. — Aug. 5, 1902. Archie Jenkins, Henry Shaft No. 22, was 
     at upper seam and asked footman to get cage and while the footman was 
     signalling for cage, he opened the safety cage gate and stepped into the 
     open shaft, thereby falling a distance of 205 feet. It was evidently a 
     loss of presence of mind on his part.
