MAY LOSE HIS EYEsIGHT
A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BEFALLs
RICHARD M,ALLISTER.
Missed Shot Injuries Him About the
Face So Severely That He May Be
Blinded.

Richard McAllister's many Salt Lake
friends will be grieved TO learn of a
most distressing accident that befell
him Friday evening while working in
his mining claim at Mercur He is in
danger of losing the sight of both eyes
Mr.. McAllister had placed a blast
and lighted the fuse, withdrawing to a
safe distance to await results. 1t did
not go off as soon as expected and
thinking the fuse had gone out, Mr..
McAllister returned to the spot just as
the explosion occurred. He was stun.
ned and blinded and CROPPED around
underground for several hours. there
being no one else on the works at the
time. That he escaped death is mi
raculous. He was only rescued by
some people passing the scene late at
night and who heard him calling for
aid.
1t was found that his lip had been
torn open, necessitating several
stitches. and his hands were badly
burned. He could see out of neither
eye, and was brought to Salt Lake on
the first train, arriving at ST. Marks
hospital last night. DR.. Pfoutz is at
tending him here and is hopeful of
saving one eye, but considers the resto-
ration of his patients eyesight very
doubtful.

Judge Hiles yesterday gave judgment
in favor OF the lien holders on the Salt
Palace property, and ordered that the
right and interest in the structures be-
longing to the association, be sold at
public auction. under the direction of
the sheriff; and if the proceeds of the
sale be insufficient to pay off the lien
holders 100 cents on the dollar, that the
sum be distributed in proportion to
their various outstanding accounts.
This decree was entered in accord
ance with the findings of fact and con-
clusionS OF Law, filed in the district
court earlier in the day. by Judge A.
j. Sawyer. the referee in the case of
the Salt Lake Hardware company VS..
the Utah Salt Palace association, S j.
Lynn receiver. ct al.
The report sets forth that all the
parties in the suit, plaintiff and de-
fendanIs, who had claims against the
defendant, the Utah Salt Palace asso-
citation, had filed their answers and
cross complaints in this action. with
the exception OF the George Nj. Scott
StreveEl company who through mis-
understanding failed. to file similar
papers and asked for further lime.
There was no question as TO the claim
of the company against the association
and further time was allowed by the
referee TO file an answer and cross
complaint.
The referee finds that the Utah SaA
Palace association holds under lease,
made May s, 1899, by Frederick Heath
and Joseph r. Walker. the block on
which the structure stands; that the
lease was made for a term of three
years. with the annual rental of 81 per
annum. 1t was stated that between

BRoAD-GAUGING OF THE UTAH
CENTRAL.
Extension of the sanpete and SEWER
Branch to Marysvale and Proba-
bic Extension to orion, Fifty
Miles South of Belknap, the Pres
ent Terminus of the Line.

Among the contemplated improvements
and extensions to be undertaken by tho
Rio Grande Western road during the COM
ing year are the broad-gauging of the
Utah Central line from this city to Park
City, the extension of the SanDete and
Sewer branch from Be.kraD TO Marys-
vale and the probable continuance on to
Orion. fifty miles from Belknap the pres
ent terminus of the branch. In addition
TO these extensions. ii is likely that the
intervening twelve miles between Park
City and Hebe- will be graded and the
track laid in time to connect with the
completion OF the work on the Utah Gen.
trail.
The projection of these new branches is
undertaken for the purpose of developing
the rich mineral lands and assisting in
marketing the output of the mines and
promising prospects. The extension from
Marysvale to Orion is the preliminary
srep TO crossing the Wasatch range so as
TO enable the road to enter the new coal
fields situated in the vicinity of Cedar
City and the practically inexhaustible iron
fields that have lately doomed into prom
inence in the Iron mountain region. This
extension will give the Western a firm
hold on what promises to be the most
productive portion of the state.
The building of the line from Park City
to Heber will complete the circle COM
posed of the four arcs between Salt Lake
and Park City. Park City and Heber.
Lake The route will be an attractive one
for tourists. because it embraces some of
the grandest and most picturesque seem
cry in the state. and in addition a large
variety of sights and scenes in Park City,
Heber and Heber canyon.
Work on the Utah Central is progress
ing rapidly. The tunnel near Altus is well
under way, and as soon as the workmen
get under shelter they can proceed I'M
molested by the winters storms. 1t is
expected that all the work including

branch will be completed by the 1st of

WHAT THE CANAL WILL DO.
StiIlnguamish People Want Water
C0uuecti0n With Seattle.

1t is reported that the people of the
Stillaguamish valley and other territory
between the head Of Lake Washington
and Arlington are watching Developments
in the Lake Washington canal project
with a great personal interest. Verne. L.
Joslyn, editor of the Arlington Enterprise,
who spent Christmas day in the city. said
yesterday that the completion of the canal
would give this locality an impetus greater
than could result from any other cause.
1.-THE canal Will lower the surface of the
lake four feet he said, land this means
that the immense marshy tract from thu
head Of the lake to Woodinville would BIG
drained so 1t could be used for agricultural
purposes. The land Is now not of much
use, as nothing but timber will grow on It,
and when the timber is taken away 1t IL
practically worthless. But get the water
off it, and there will be room for hundreds
of people, which will give your city
wider range of trade. But what We are
particularly interested in is that the canal
viii enable the people Of our neighborhood
to send their logs to the Sound without
the necessity of taking them long distances
by rail. AS / understand 1t, when. Tho
canal is finished logs may be towed from
near Woodinvile to- the Sound through
Lake Washington and the new waterway:
This would have the effect of more rapid
clearing Of the land and the consequent in
creasing of the domain devoted to agricul-
tural pursuits"
