The Bendigo Advertiser 22 November 1898 page 2 SHOCKING MINING ACCIDENT.
A MIXER'S HAND BLOWN OFF.
(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) Newstead, 21st November. A miner named Thomas Collihole, working at the Central Lady Brassey mine, Sandy Creek, was the victim of a horrible accident about 4 p.m. to-day. Collihole had just descended the shaft to the 320ft. level, and while in the slopes he changed a lighted candle to the hand which contained a charge of dynamite and fuse.

CASTLEMAINE. Further particulars relative to the serious accident to a miner named Thomas Collihole at the Central Lady Brassey mine, Sandy Creek, are to the effect that Collihole, having descended the shaft had put in a bore but before doing so cut the fuse for the charge When about to charge the hole he found that the fuse was too short, and he used the sharp end of his candle holder(the usual hoop iron contrivance) for the purpose of levering the cap off. While so engaged the iron penetrated the cap, and the explosion occurred. One of his hands, as previously stated, was blown off at the wrist, and the arm was so badly injured that, it is report amputation had to be resorted to at the Maldon Hospital.
The Newstead Echo - Saturday 26 November 1898
A Shocking accident happened at the Central Lady Brassey Mine on Monday afternoon. A miner named Thomas Collihole was preparing to charge a hole, and had fixed the cap used for exploding dynamite on to the end of the fuse. Finding that he had cut the fuse too short for the hole, he took the sharpened end of his candlestick to lever the cap off, when the point struck the explosive in the cap and caused it to burst with terrible results. Collihole was buried to the ground and as the explosive had been heard all over the mine and in the workings of the Lady Brassey adjoining, the men employed in both the mines rushed to the spot and found the poor fellow's right arm had been blown off half way up to the elbow, whilst a portion of his hand had been blown into his face, which was also otherwise disfigured by the explosion. He was taken to the surface, and a cyclist sent to Maldon for a doctor. A vehicle was procured and the injured man, who was semi conscious, was also driven to Maldon.
Half way there the doctor was met and stopped the flow of blood. Collihole afterwards was taken to the hospital where the injured limb was amputated below the elbow. He suffered very much from the shock to his system but he picked up wonderfully since is quite cheerful, and recovering as rapidly as can be expected.
The Echo, Saturday November 26 1898 Sandy Creek Mining Accident A public meeting will be held in the Mechanics Institute tonight for the purpose of devising ways and means for assisting Thomas Collihole and family. Everybody requested to attend. H Coquloun
The Echo, Saturday December 3 1898 The meeting called for Saturday evening last for the purpose of considering ways and means for helping Thomas Collihole and family was attended by about half a dozen persons only, therefore nothing definite was arrived at. The apathy of the fold in this district pertaining to all matters is well known, but it is greatly to be deplored that such a want of sympathy was expressed in this case, especially as the accident was not due to any carelessness on the part of the unfortunate victim.
