     December 29, 1905. George Tompson, Beckley Mine, was killed by a 
     fall of slate known as a "kettle bottom," which became loose as soon as- 
     coal was mined from under it. It broke off square at rib of entry of 
     which he was driving. He was not aware of its presence, for he was 
     standing right under it, picking between a prop and the face of the 
     entry.
