Patrick Egan, 1846(?)-5/8/1886.



A correspondent, telegraphing us from Skippers Point, thus refers to a melancholy accident to an old miner: — "A fatal mining accident occurred in the Gallant Tipperary mine this afternoon. Patrick Egan was taking out a truck of mullock, when, by some means, the truck tipped up and completely buried him. He was not found by his mates until some half-an-hour after the occurrence, when he was taken out quite dead."  -Lake Wakatip Mail, 6/8/1886.
