In recognition Of the splendid hero
ism of a young miner named Frank
Smith, a monument is to be set up
at Otago, near Dunedin. N. q. Smith
and a fellow miner named Bates were
at work the other day sinking a hole
in a drifting quicksand, The hole had
to be constantly pumped out as 1t
quickly filled with sludge. Suddenly
to the mems horror Bates slipped and
fell at the mouth Of the suction pipe.
His toe entered the pipe, and his foot
was quickly sucked in, and then his
leg was broken. Smith sprang to his
comrades rescue. and wrenched open
the mouth Of the pipe so as to relieve
him. But the drainage water had been
slowly rising around, and before the
men could escape, oozing slime sur.

young hero standing erect, quite dead,
still holding his comrades hands.
