According to witnesses, Reed fell when a platform he was standing on collapsed sending him head first down the shaft. He fell 120 feet before hitting ground. A jury consisting of three local men was formed by the acting coroner cor-oner to help determine exacting what caused the accident and death of Reed. The jury consulted a fellow co-worker who reported as follows: "I was working on the 400 level, and Wm Reed was at work on the last set of the raise handing up lagging to me on the level; I then heard the plank or platform break (I suppose the one he was standing on) ; I saw no more of him until we found him on the 500 level." A miner who was working on the same platform as Reed reported under oath that he too heard a crack from a rock hitting the platform, he went down to the bottom to find "poor Reed lying on his back, head downwards, with part of the broken plank near him." The jury declared that Reed "came to his death by an unavoidable falling or rock upon him while at work upon a platform near the 400 foot level in the Ontario No. 3 From Time to Time 10 Years Ago mine, and we exhonorate any and all from any blame whatsoever." 25 Years Ago The prospect of Wasatch Mountain State Park was creating a stir in and around the Park City area. Determined Deter-mined to be one of the "greatest national na-tional recreation areas in the United States," the Park was being looked at as having "unlimited potential," something that would appeal to locals and out-of-state travelers alike. The State Park and Recreation Commission currently had title to over 20,000 acres in the vicinity just west of Midway. According to F.C. Koziol, supervisor for the Wasatch National Forest, more people visited canyons adjoning Salt Lake City than visited Yellowstone National Park. According to Koziol, 900,000 people visited the canyons in 1950, a figure which grew to nearly two million by 1962, while Yellowstone National Park was showing figures more than 400,000 less. Said the Record, "the scenic beauty beau-ty of the eastern slope, with its alpine forests and panoramic views, has long been known, but access has been limited until the Utah National Guide built a road over Guardsman's Guard-sman's Pass several years ago. In a related issue, Park City's new ski area was asking individuals to help name 15 miles of ski trail. According Ac-cording to the Record, "Treasure Trails" would be opening the following follow-ing December and would feature "some of the longest and most spectacular spec-tacular ski terrain in America." The longest trail was three and a half miles long. In naming the trails, ski area management asked people to keep their ideas along the theme of "Treasure Trails." Meaning trails should be named after the silver and other metals which were mined in town. Persons whose trail names were selected would win five days of free ski lessons and a five-day free gondola lift pass on the "fabulous new aerial tramway." Resort officials were hoping to obtain ob-tain a grant from a newly organized Bureau of Outdoor Recreation in Washington D.C. said the Record. The commission would try to request re-quest a $350,000 appropriation to begin development of the "number one state park." Road development would encompass $50,000 of that total. Park City's senior citizens could look forward to free transportation in and around the Park City area, with the help of two Chevrolet vans expected to be driven by local resident resi-dent Michael Busio. According to chairman of transportaion for the seniors, Alvin Young, each senior could use the transportation three times a week-two week-two for local errands and one to the doctor. Said Young, "This service will be extended to all Park City senior citizens, not only those belonging to the Senior Citizens organization." In other news, the Park City Police Department was expecting to add another officer to their force, thanks to a $24,000 federal grant administered ad-ministered by the Utah Council on Criminal Justice. According to Police Chief, Garth Wilkinson, the department was expecting ex-pecting to hire a new officer who would specialize in crime prevention by April 1. "The crime prevention officer will contact and assist businesses and private citizens and make them aware of preventative measures and security checks," said Wilkinson, adding that the police department has not had the manpower in the past to deal with crime prevention. In the world of sports, U.S. Ski Team member, Phil Mahre, won his second World Cup of his racing career. The victory came in slalom competition in Chamoix, France. "He finally did it!" said Hank Tauber, Apine Director for the U.S. Ski Team. "This is the biggest World Cup Slalom win of the season for us." Mahre won both runs of the slalom race, beating leader in the World Cup standings, Ingemar Sten-mark. Sten-mark. Twenty-year-old Mahre defeated Stenmark by more than one and a half seconds. In cross-country ski action, U.S. Red Cross-Country racer Bill Koch, finished second in the men's 30-kilometer event at Mikkili, Finland. He completed the course a little less than a minute behind top-ranked top-ranked Finn P. Vahvaselka. dDMimiairiies &mm;vi-ri-r--'--gi,i,tiL1iuiiBiiMi m i initiMLMiiiMiiiu; The notes in italic were written by Park City resident Bea Kummer. Mary B.
