The black hole emits Hawking radiation to preserve the conservation of energy. The black hole emits radiation with energy that is equal to the mass of the particle that passes through the horizon.
It's hard to explain the information trail with Hawking radiation.
Hopefully this will help.

Thank you. I'll have to ponder on that for a while & do some more reading. You worded that very carefully, I noticed.
"If these pairs are formed
near the event horizon"
I wonder how near "near" can get and;
the radiation emitted by the black hole is also a mystery to me.
More reading to do. Thanks muchly. Cool.
Cheers
