In the Heage Miners' Welfare Institute recently, under the chairmanship of Mr. J. Bircumshaw, Mr. J. R. Felton, divisional inspector of mines, presented to Messrs. Bernard Hurley (electrician) and Benjamin Walters, of Heage, framed certificates granted by the Carnegie Heroes Trust Fund. These were awarded in recognition of their endeavours to save human life at the Bond Lane Colliery, Heage, when on February 24th last they descended the shaft at great personal risk to rescue two workmen, named Warren and Ratcliffe, who were injured by a portion of the shaft brickwork falling on the scaffold on which they were working at repairs.
