Midas, Nevada Mrs. Brown's Place

This is what is left of Mrs. Brown's place.  It was thoroughly fenced when I was kid.  She was a ferocious old thing and deaf in the bargain.  Not open to having drop in visitors  be they kids or adults.  Perhaps a left over from the years, during prohibition, when she was reputed to be one of the better brewers of various forms of white lightning.  There is a tunnel, probably caved in now,  that leads from her place to just a bit up Midas Canyon.  Also supposedly used in her whiskey transactions. 

This cluster of old buildings is perhaps the most authentic of all the buildings in the old town since the Midas School burned down.  Photo thanks to Helen Moore, my friend, who was up in the area hunting.
