of an earnest appeal to the secretary of
the treasury to 80 change the ruling as TO
afford protection to this important Amer.
lean product.
THE REVOLUTIONS.
The following resolutions were adopted
by the Cnur d 'AIene mine owners, and in
substance are the same as those OF the
board OF trade and the owners of mines In
other local tiles:
At a meeting Of the miners and mine
owners Of the Ceur d'Alene mining dis.
tricts OF Northern Idaho, held on this 9Th
day of May, 1889, for the purpose of con.
siderng the question of the duty on lead

Whereas, Tue material interests of the
tecritcry of Idaho depend largely npou it.
production of lead and silver ores which
are found 80 commingled that the value of
the same consists in about equal proper
tions of lead and silver, the value OF the
silver alone being scarcely sufficient to pay
the expenses of mining aed milling. thu
making the success OF the enterprise depend
in large measure upon the value of the
lead contained in the ores; and
Whereas, The said territory is now pro-
ducinR nearly one-fourtb Of the entire lead
output of the United States; and
Whereas, The producers of such ores are
brought into direct competition WITH the
lead producers of foreign countries, es-
pecially of Mexico and British America.
by reason Of the fact that under the con-
structi on that has been plac, upon the
tariff law by the secretary of the treasury,
the lead ores from those countries, by
being mixed with sufficient amount of
silver to make their value in silver shade
more than that of lead, are imported into
this country free of duty in vast quanti-
ties; and
Whereas. The honorable secretary of the
treasury has siRnihed his Willingness to
reopen for consideration the question
whether 1r not the construction OF the law
relative to this matter is u proper one and
for the hest interests of the people of this
country; therefore, be it
Resolved. That the miners and mine
owners and all those engaged in business
depending upon the success OF the mines
OF Northern Idaho, duly assembled for the
purpose Of discussing this question, do
most respectfully urge upon the honorable
secretary of the treasury that If it IL pos
sible and within the spirit of the law that
such construction be placed upon the
statutes bearing upon the question as will
prevent the free importation of lead into
the United States in competition with our
own mines.
And they do hereby authorize their
representative in congress. the Hon. Fred
I. Dubois, to speak In their behalf before
the honorable secretary of the treasury ut
the time fixed for the hearing.

INJUNCTION Continued.
Thomas q. Grittitts. of the law firm of
Gritfitts, Moore x Feighan, returned yes.
terday from Walla Walla, where he went
to represent the petitioners for an injunc.
tlon restraining the commissioners of
Whitman county from building court
house. The application for an injunction
was argued before Judge Langford Mon
day afternoon. Prosecuting Attorney L..
h. Plattor of Whitman county. and Hon
Charles h. Voorhees,, represented those
who would defeat the injunction.
Mr.. Grlttitts claimed that the commits
sloners OF whitman county intend to in
cur an Indebtedness in excess of the amount
of Indebtedness allowed by law for court
house purposes; that that county is $50 900
IN debt; that the proposed courthouse is to
cost $50 ,OOO that the assessment OF the
county is 81, 100 900; that the law author
ICES an Indebtedness for courthouse and all
purposes Of only per cent on the assess.
ment, or S7l 900, and ii the courthouse is
constructed the county debt will exceed the
limit 10y some S24 900, and that the Only
remedy 10 injunction. The court declared
its opinion that, as the com mmissioners had
expended S48, 700 for squirrel scalps. they
were more in favor OF killing squirrels than
getting II decent Jail.
The attorneys fo- the defense aimed
that the commissioners were acting accor-
ding to law, and that at the most the ad-
yertisement they had issued simply called
for the submission of plans and speci6ca.
tions for $65 600 court house, and no'
the expenditure of that amount to build
one. sort Of get'your. pans.ready-p y-pefore-
you-buid step, and nothing more.
Upon hearing the argument of counsel
the temporary restraining order made on
April 20. 1889, waI modified and made to
read A. follows:
That defendants each and both of them
do absolutely refrain from accepting bids
or making any contracts, or creating any
indebtedness for the purpose OF erecting
court house or jail, either or both such
buildings. or any other purpose, in any
amount which shall. including existing
Indebtedness, exceed per cent of the as
sessed valuation of the property of said
county preceding the making of such con-
tract, acceptance of such bids, or creation
of such debt

Those High Freight Rates.

With reference to the suspension of
operations on accouAt of high freight rates
heretofore related in the Review. the
Free Press says
Reports have gone the rounds that all
the shipping mines in Ceur d'Alene would
close down until lower rate is given by
the Northern Pacific or until the Washing
ton & Idaho is finished to the camp, The
report has also been partially contradict
ed. Without doubt this action has
been contemplated by some. 1t not all,
the mine owners, aud for auxht We know
il may DO carried out yet. So far as we
can learn the Bunker Hill and Sullivan,
and possibly others IN that district, have
closed down. The Canyon creek mines
are working as usual, though 1t 10 said
tnat the Poorman intends to quit shipping
for time. The Hunter concentration runs
right along. and we have heard nothing to
the effect that it intended stopping. 1t
may be that all intend closing down, but
40 far there is nothing TO indicate this
with the mines of tho Upper South Fork
except high freight rates and the low price
of lead.
