Fer inc information of prospectors and miners the following is clipped from the Fl Paso Tribune.
 As per announcement the South western Mining Association held a meeting yesterday afternoon in their rooms at the Grand Central hotel, and after discussing the action of the Colorado mining men and their re- solutions, the following local rcsolu- tions were passed by the association, which are right and proper and to the point:
 Whereas, At the instance of the lead monopolists of Colorado meet ing of citizens was recently held in the city of Denver, the object of which was to protest against the free i'm portation of lead ores from Mexico and other countries, and certain reso- lutions to that end were adopted; and whereas, 1t is the manifest aim of these monopolists, by means of false statements, to encourage the rise of public opinion demanding the repeal of the law now in force on the subject of such importations, and reversal of the rulings heretofore made by diff ferent secretaries of the treasury, by which the introduction of such ores from Mexico has made the exchange of commodities with that country a source of profit and advantage, in al- most every branch of trade. to western Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. and especially to the infant industries of these communities; and whereas. such resolutions seek to break down and destroy the smeltlng interests of the southwest by denying the importa- tion of 't1uxing ore essential to the smelling of the dry and refractory ores which are the products of Texas. New Mexico and Arizona, thus forcing such dry and refractory ores to pass into the hands of these monopolists: and whereas, the further growth and prosperity of the southwest, already well advanced, has been, is now and will continue to be mainly dependent on the commercial relations hitherto and now subsisting between Mexico and the United States; and whereas, to insure the continuance of this pros perity, and to encourage the growth of that section, every channel of trade for the importation of American ores to be.employed in payment for the ex- portatiOn of American products and manufactures, should be kept open and constantly widened and deepened by the legislation of congress and the just and even-handed rulings of the secre- tary of the treasury; and whereas, that section with its many new and we'll equipped smelting plants, and Mexi- can silvcr-lead ores, introduced free of duty, combines ample conditions and facilities for the profitable reduc- tions of its own ores, thereby saving from waste a large per cent on account of the treatment of dry and refractory ores, and the freight thereon to the monopoly smelters of Colorado.
 Therefore. be it resolved by the Fl Paso and Southwestern Mining Asso- citation:
 First, That in behalf of the mining interests of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, we condemn the methods and purposes of the resolution referred to, and claim, from the government of the United States, protection and equal rights.
 Second, That the expressions at- tributed by the press, to J. A. Samp- SUI. lIIC hCNil atCCIt1iljCtl COuSuI IO lue l City of Juarez, Mexico, if true, show him unworthy of the trust committed | to his charge, and his speedy recall ought to be made as an assurance of good faith on the part of the high of ticials whose fairness has been i'm pugned.
 Third, That copies thereof be for warded to the secretaries of the state and treasury departments and to each member of Congress from the state of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona.
