THE RAILWAY OFFICIALS DES-
TROYING THEIR BUSINESS,

TROYlNG THEIR BUSINESS.
The procrastination of the officials
of the Union Pacific Railway Com.
pany in the matter of reducing the
rate Of freight on ore from Wood
River to the Missouri, is beginning to
be very sensibly felt here. During
the past six months prospecting has
almost been discontinued altogether,
all the shipping mines have reduced
their shipments to the minimum re-
quired to meet their diminished pay
rolls, there has been little or no de-
velopment work commenced, no new
concentrating works Except that Of
the King of the West) have been
built. and all the yielding properties
been put in condition to discontinue
operations at few days notice.
These facts are patent to all here
who are informed, and so well-known
that it is hardly necessary to particu.
lariss. Yet it may be best to do SO
at this time, if for no other purpose
At least to refresh the memory of
those of our friends, in the East and
elsewhere, who are interested here.
For instance:
The Minnie Moore is not yielding
up to one fourth of the visible, actual
capacity;
Neither are the Queen of tho Hills
nor the Relief groups; nor the Ida.

Several of these properties-such
As the War Dance, King of the West,
Triumph, Tyrannis, Silver Star, Pride
OF Idaho, Minnie Moore, Queen of
the Hills, etc.--either have concen.
trating works or would build some if
. living rate of freight could be Sc
cured. In such case, the ore and
bullion shipments from Wood River,
which do not now average over four
carloads per day. would increase to
fully 10 carloads daily. The railway
oompany's profits would of course be
oorrespondingly increased.
A little over year ago the railway
compary's gross receipts from the
Wood River Branch alone exceeded
$4,000 per month, ON the average.
At present, we do not believe that
they exceed one half of that amount,
The loss is directly and entirely
due to the outrageously high rates of
freight on ore. With a $40 rate to
the Missouri river the Branch would
again not only yield the company
$4,000 per month; but in less than
, year it would yield fully $4,000
per month.
The railroad officials have there
fore blind'y killed the goose that laid
the golden eggs-and with no pos
sible shsw of recovering these lost
profits, because it is evident that there
will soon be at least two other
lines of railway in here. Until then
our mine-owners must wait, patient.
~ as they can, but confident that they
will in the end realize much greater
profits than they could possibly hope
for at present.

THE LOCAL ORE. BUYERS.
They are Doing Better by Producers
than They Could do for Themselves
Eisewhere-A Reliable Man Says this
Should be Published and Made Known.

OuOulU ne tuOllSne0 ana M8do known.
The War Dance mine will ship
three carloads of ore to Denver this
week, and if the price of lead stays
up at 81 or over per 100 pounds, at
least as much more will be shipped
weekly until fall. Four times as much
could easily be extracted and shipped;
but the owrers prefer to work slowly
and leave the most of their ore in
place, as they expect another line of
railway in here before many years,
and they can then get better rates Of
freight.
James w. Burns, one of the half.
owners Of the War Dance, looks after
the sampling and shipping. He in
tends to sell to local ore-buyers, right
here, because he says that he can do
little better here than elsewhere.
a few weeks ago he shipped three
c,r-loads OF ore to Denver and fol-
lowed it. Having other business in
Salt Lake and Denver he thought he
might as we'll make expenses and
find out all about the ore markets.
If he could do better than here he
would ship himself. Well, he went
clear to Denver; he paid 81 per ton
for freight, instead of $40, which he
would have had to pay from here,
and got LESS for his lead. So that
he was out Of pocket on the trip. If
he had sold here he would have done
better. In future, Mr.. Burns says,
he will sell his ore here just as long
as local buyers act as squarely with
producers as they have been doing
and are doing.
"This," added Mr.. BUNS, address
ing TIMES reporter, "should be made
known, because SO many have asked
me about it since l came back from
Denver that know there has been a
great deal of dissatisfaction. Now,
looked into the business thoroughly,
intending to know If was wronged,
and how; and l know that 1 am not
that l can do better right here than
I can in Denver. And you can say
that l am not afraid of being sue
cessfully contradicted in this. I am
going to sell my ore ON the river.
"One thing, however," Mr.. Burns
continued, sis this: We ought to have
better rate of freight. I told Mr..
Parker that il l could get a $40 rate
would supply 1000 tons of ore be-
fore fall; while if l did not I would
not ship over 200. Well, I don't
think will ship over 800 TONS"

THE MILLS BILL.

How 1t Affects Lead-It Already Causes
Loss Of 5000 Per Day TO One Idaho
Mine Alone.
Portland Daily News.l
Among the remarks made by several
citizens ut the Conference in the Es.
mond Hotel parlors, Tuesday evening,
upon matters relating to the opera
ton of tariff regulations, involving
the great issue Of protection OF free
trade, the brief speech of Mayor De
Lashmutt elected most attention, and
brought to the notice of ell present an
important fact of which many have no
conception in this community. The
Mills bill now before Congress re,
moves the duty on lead and puts that
metal on the free list. Mayor De
!.ashmutt stated that already the
effect Of this proposition is to reduce
the price of lead IN this market. He
made the state which was a
surprise to nearly all present-that
this decline in the price of lead af-
fected the mine owners of the Ceur
d'Alene region and owners in Port
land, to the amount of $4,000 a day!
This is sec, 900 per month, $724,0O0
per year. 1t is large sum in respect
to = single product, one so generally
little reckoncd by political economists
as lead. lie stated, in support of this,
that two months ago the ruling price
Of lead was 1925, whereas i, is now
1915, and this decline in price oc-
easioned loss to single mine in the
Ceur d'Alene region of 1900 per
day. The total difference, he ss,i-
mated, in the output of the mines
was, rs is stated above, $1,000 day,
and this loss falls mainly upon ci,i-
zens Of Portland, thus much to affect
the trade and prosperity of Portland.
Tho fault Is in the present imperfect
and unjust workings Of the tariff, by
tho regulations which apply to ores Of
gold and silver, in. which the lead
bears part. Thousands of tons oil
these ores are imported from South
American mines, and the lead the,
contain comes in virtually free Of
duty, to bear down the price Of this
metal in competition with the Ameri
can aud Pacific coast product. The
tariff needs revision in this respect
hut the need is in the line of pro
lection Of the home industry, not If
the line OF free trade. The Mills bill
