MINE TRAGEDY
SECOND BODY DECOYED ED
(By Telegraph—Per Press Association
AUCKLAND, April 29
Working with almost a complete disregard for the danger of theii position, the miners at the Roto ware coal mine, near Huntly, succeeded in recovering the body of John Yates at about seven o’clock to-night. In three shifts the miners had been tunnelling into a huge wall of debris for about thirty hours. With his fellow worker, Thomas Hart Yates was buried by heavy falls of stone in a section of the mine shortly before one o’clock on Monday afternoon. Although it was known that he could not have survived, volunteers exerted every effort to find his body.
