<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hello!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I am looking for info on <STRONG>Mrs. Gideon R. Browne
of Pendleton</STRONG>. I just stumbled across her name in an article
that lists her as one of the women who operated a garnet mine in Wrangell,
Alaska in the early 1900s. This is new information for me and it's
exciting! The garnet mine was owned by the first all-woman corporation
in the United States. Details can be found at <A
href="http://www.WrangellGarnetLedge.com">www.WrangellGarnetLedge.com</A> if
you are interested.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Per the article:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>"Mrs. Gideon R. Browne of Pendleton, Ore., is the owner
of 2000 acres of wheat land in Alberta, Canada, and of two or three rnahces in
Oregon; she goes to Alberta every year and transa all the business in
connection with the handlling of her great wheat crop. "
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>This article was written in 1915 and appears in "An
Alaskan Treasure" from the California's Magazine - Edition Deluxe. Most
of the stories are about the Pan Pacific International Exposition held in San
Francisco.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Any information on Mrs. Browne would be
appreciated. A photograph of her would be outstanding. :-)
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Thank you!</FONT></DIV>
