Marlborough Express, 21 May 1889 HOKITIKA, May 20
John Nolan, a miner at Blue Spur, was killed in his sluicing claim this morning by a fall of earth. The deceased and his mate, John Keane, had a sluicing claim up the creek about two miles above the bridge. They were working in the face at the time, getting ready to sluice when a thin layer of dirt, containing about 13 cwt, peeled off without the slightest warning and struck Nolan, knocking him backwards over the tail-race. He was only partially buried, but the falling stones struck him in several places, and he never spoke. He moved his hands twice, and died as soon as he was extricated from the dirt
West Coast Times, 23 May 1889 FUNERAL
The funeral of John Nolan, killed in his claim at the Blue Spur on Monday, was very largely attended, especially by residents from the country districts. It is said that more vehicles were in the procession than have ever previously been seen together in the district
