MRS. BROWNING TELLS
STORa OF HER LIFE

AUBURN, n. Y, Jan. 12.-Mrs.
Sarah T. Browning, wife of Gideon
Browning, talked of her life and of
her dead husband to a representa-
tive of the Associated Press, and
said:
Il married Gideon Browning in
West Bloomfield, n. Y, February -,
1894. We lived there for a year and
then moved to Adair, Mich. We
stayed there but a short time, when
W. moved back to West Bloomfield.
We had a son, Willie. We stayed at
West Bloomfield until three years
ago, when Gideon began to drink ana
abuse me. He would not work, and
compelled me to go out washing.
Then we moved to Canandigua,
where it was the same old story.
September 4, 1907, l left him and
came here to Auburn 10 live with my
aunt.
Gideon was not able to find me

THINK, IS THE WORD OF MINISTER
TO THOSE WHO WOULD ADVANCE

Sunday night Rev. }. r. Barr spoke
to ar ~appreciative audience in part
as follows, from lea. 1878. and Phil.
AS:
Christianity is the most reasona-
bic thing in the universe. Nothing is
nearly SO c~onsiderate. And moth
ing even approaches it as an expe-
dent.
1t has been said of some that they
seek TO keep the masses in ignorance
But not so with Christianity. The
Word teaches us the duty and the
privilege of informing ourselves. And
the old church of God leads in MAIN
tanning the highest standards of edu-
cation. We speak of our own church
schools, because we know they are
better than those of others. The
Methodist Episcopal church educa-
tional senate holds as high If not the
highest requirements held by any.
And while the church sustains her
own schools, she also assists In sus-
tanning our public schools and state
institutions. and seeks their better
ment.

The keeping of this promise led him

critics in which he is interested, Mr..
Morris said that he has several men
working OH the Robert Burns group,
running a tunnel to tap the porphyry
belt. and that he has but a few feet
tt go before he will reach it. He
says that he expects to find big val
ues on the contact. According to
Mr.. Morris, a ledge has been cut on
this property for 1870 feet that goes
from IL per e. to IL per cent
in copper and also carries gold and
silver values. This property is in
~corporated and lies just over the Ne
vada line in Utah.
Mr.. Morris says that he has excel
len. mining interests in Pleasant
Valley, Or what is known as Regan
mining district. These properties
carry good values in gold, silver and
copper. Joining his claims in the
Regain district, are several proper
ties that have been bonded by Den
yer capitalists, who expect to COM
hence operations in the near future.
These people informed Mr.. Morris
that they had never zen showings
in Colorado that equaled those in
Pleasant Valley. He further states
that if they had a little capital in
vested there it would be one of the
very best camps ever opened up in
Nevada.
"A railroad running through our
country and into Ely, would be equal
ly beneficial to both camps, as it
would make mining more profitable
for us, and Ely would get the work
ing of all ores that we could pro-
duce.' With this statement, Mr..
Morris closed the interview.
