Die to Save Others.

On September p. 1907. In New York
city, John Schock. aged twelve. and
George G. MalOney. aged eleven. were
drowning I'm the East River. Schock
had entered the water with e set OF
cork floats IN the attempt to learn to
swim. The tide started 10 carry him
out 20 sea. The Maloney boy went 10
his assistance. but was rendered help

Both were drowning. when William II
Eaton. a pcstoffice clerk. aged forty
fivt, Jumped In 10 save them. After
tremendous struggle Eaton managed
20 draw both boys to the dock. where
they werc pulled out by bystanders
using ropes. When relieved OF the
boys Eaton went under the water mo-
mentarily, being unable 10 catch a
rope which was thrown 10 him. He
sank again. coming up face downward.
and after being pulled oct OF the water
with boat hook. was found 10 be

from rheumatism and had returned TO
duty only the day previous 20 the ac-
cident He left a widow and seven
children. The commission awarded a
silver medal to the widow. and a pen

family.
Wholly different was the way IN
which Arthur Smith. aged twenty
eight a coal mine driver or StOckdale.
Pa won bronze medal. Men were
working in the mine when a fan OF
coal from the roof occurred which
caught George Spencer under IT, All
the other miners except Smith ran for

panies declare that deaths by acct
dent have been largely decreased,
and the International Association
of Accident Underwriters proposes
to give three medals each year,
professional lifeSaverS barred, in
the hope that deaths by accident
will be still further decreased.
These medals will be worth SiOO
each, and the action of the aSSocia-
ton is looked upon as a move to
place a commercial value on hero
ism. These insurance companies
believe the awarding of medals has
4 tendency to stimulate the taking
of risks to save anOther's life
whereas Mr.. Carnegie believes that
heroic action IS entirely impulSive,
and his motive in establishing the
commission was TO prevent the
hero from suffering pecuniary loss
from his generous act
There are many funds, pensions,
decorations, medals, and other or
ders of distinction, usually eStab-
liShed and maintained by govern
mentS. II remained, however, for
Andrew Carnegie, multi-millionaire
steel king of America and a philan-

tabllSh the first hero fund of its
kind. 1t is a foundation, the income
of which is used to suitably reward

 The mine is opened to a depth of 200 feet by shaft, with 400 feet in drifts from the two levels. All of the open ings are in ore and 200 tons of ore are on the dump ready for treatment. Several carloads of high grade ore were shipped from the property in it's early history.
