Senator Brown dj.a not marry you
voluntarily you would make him?
Didn'a he ask you how you were going
about 1t and didn't you reply: Ar
&nur Brown is a coward at heart and
If he refuses I will press revolver
against his heart?'"
With a fash in her eye Mrs. Brad
ley quickly uttered a denial of the
statement
Mrs Bradley also told of Browns
purchase of the revolver he gave her
She repeated that he had told her to
use it for protection against Mrs
Brown, adding that his wife was
very iniudicious person and that it
might be needed.
The questions then dealt with the
subject of Senator Browns jealousy of
her and several names were mentioned
as being involved, including one who
was designated as ''the priest. She
repeated these names in letter to tie
senator to which she added: Let us
! forget them"
Mrs Bradley did not want to say
who was meant by the priest" but
after much questioning said Senator
| Brown always insisted upon calling
| DR.. Utter the priest" She declared
| there was no foundation for Brown s
| jealousy.
DO you remember the time when
! you struck him i'll the mouth with an
umbrella and knocked his teeth out:''
| she was asked.
! Il do" the witness replied. She then
detailed some CT the particulars of a
| disagreement, saying that he had said
lifted her parasol and strslck him
His teeth were mere shell and easily
| broken" she said.
Coming to her trip to Washington in
| December, -906, Mrs. -radley told OF
her conversation with Mr.. Livingstone
! previous to starting VIXEN she said
that gentleman had told her she need
not expect anything more that Brown
merely wanted to keep her where she
was.
Asker if she had not tried to come
to Washington with Brown when ht
; came here in the summer of 1906, sht
said SIZE had only gore with him tt
Ogden and had not thought Of going
further, although she had told hin
sucn was her intention. He ranted
ragged and chafed," she said, but saiC
il | Gid not go we should be married
as soon as he returned" She admitted
she had told Mr.. Livingstone Of thi
i incident and that she had laughed owe
it. '|Why, [ didn't even have ham
bag with me- she said in explanation
of her lack of motive.
! Mrs. Bradley was closely questione
about any uncomp1imentary remark
made by her against Mrs. Brown.
DO you recall ever having referre
to Mrs. Brown as the old woman Or
the hill?"
E1 never die, 1 never spoke dlsre
respectfully of her. replied Mrs. Brad
ley with decision.
Mrs. Bradley, at 1925, was finall
excused, and with an audible sigh {
relief she descended from the witnes

MORGAN COUNTY HOME
Of RICH COPPER MINES
Forty Per Cent Copper in the
Chicago-Utah Properties; a
Two-MiIe Vein of Ore.

Not all of the meritorious mines In
of the most promising mining PROPOSE
tons in this State hardly ever get into
the public prints. Some people 60 on
the principle that a good mine, like
everything else that has merit, will ad-
vertse itself And this. generally
speaking, Is true, TO a certain extent.
If 10 per cent copper In quantity was
found IN place, IN n assure vein, in any
one Of the old established camps in
Utah, it would not be fortyeight hours
until the whole world would know 1t,
and be talking about if. There is a
mine in active operation not far from
Salt Lake that produces 10 per cent
copper and runs 20 ounces In silver to
the ton. 1t is situated in Morgan coun
ty, about seven miles southeast of Nor
gan City. and is owned and operated
by the Chicago-Utah Copper Mining
company. The deepest shaft is down
$50 feet The shaft is in ore at the
bottom. For the last ten feet the rich
streak in the ore vein is ten inches wide
and the ore averages 40 per cent cop
per. 20 ounces silver and some gold
10 the ton.
The shaft is on an incline Of so de.
grees with fine dip of the ore. The vein
increases with depth, as does the quail
ity of the ore, aud this vein can be
traced in the company 5 ground clear
over the mountain for distance Of
over two miles. The shaft is being sunk
at the base OF the mountain. The com.
panY owns nine claims, besides a sec
tion Of land with plenty Of timber and
water for al purposes, The ore in that
region is found in a sand lined stone
formation and is a black oxide. Cap.
tain Edgerly, the general manager of
the company, is in town looking around
for gasoline engine which he has about
concluded 10 install III place of the
steam hoist now in use. as the captain
saws IT is impossible 10 get coal to keep
great deal Of trouble, and many set
backs, in keeping the water out of the
shaft, because they couldn t get coal
when needed. Manager EdgeIly SAYS
thay will ship considerable high grade
ore this season, enough TO keep develop
ment going and meet the other expenses
incident TO the opening up of the mine.
These mines are not new. They have
been owned for many wears, some of
them. by miners in Coalyille, who were
financially unable TO develop them, but
knowing that the property contained
high. grade ore, they hung onto them
from year to year, until some Eastern
parties came in, organized company
about two years ago, and started in on
a course of systematic development. The
conditions are most promising for the
opening mp of one of the greatest cop
per properties IN the State
Such enterprises as this deserve en-
coura cement, IL is doing much TO bring
Morgan county to the front. aud is
the means of circulating considerable
cash through that section monthly.
