MR. THORNHILL COOPER DEATH IN CANTERBURY (per Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, this day. Eighteen days after he had celebrated the hundredth anniversary of his birthday, Mr. Thornhill Cooper, a well-known citizen of Christchurch and one of the surviving New Zealanders with a personal knowledge of the very early mining days on the West Coast, died at his home in Papanui yesterday.
Mr. Cooper’s sketches of mining towns on the West Coast in 1868 are among the most valuable historical documents dealing with the days of the gold rushes.
