This, the oldest settled spot in the
state of Wisconsin, is located on THE
Burlington, about sixty miles north
of Dubuque. The surrounding seen
cry is fine, picturesque, and even grand.
This city has many interesting histori-
cal associations having been perman-
emily settled by whites in 1873. and
experienced its full share of the In
dian scares incident to frontier life at
the beginning of this century. During
the war of 1912, the "fort" at Prairie
du Chen was captured by British
forces and their Indian allies, and
held by them until the return of peace.
Sixty years ago large fort was built
here by Col. Zachary Taylor, after
ward a leading hero of the Mexican
War, and a successful candidate for
the Presidency. A few miles away
is the locality where was fought
the closing battle of the well known
Black-Hawk War. Here also is one Of
the finest artesian wells in the United
States. the waters of which have ex.
traordinary remedial virtues in many
nervous affections and disease Of the

DUTY ON LEAD ORES.
Western Delegates in Washington in the
Interests of Mining.

WASHINGTON, May 14.-There was a con
ference at the Arlington hotel this evening
of gentlemen interested in the lead mining
and smelling industry, for the purpose of
agreeing upon plan of procedure at the
hearing to be given them tomorrow by
Assistant Secretary Tichenor; of the treas
ury department.
They desire to secure q modification Of
the ruling of the department, holding that
whenever silver forms a component ma
terial of chief value in the importation of sill
yer and lead ores, lead ore as well as silver
ore shall be entitled to customs entry free
of duty 1t is asserted that under this
ruling large quantities of lead ore are being
imported free of duty from Mexico, to the
serious injury of the lead industry Of the
United States.
1t is cOntended that the ruling of the de
partment is erroneous and that 1t was the
intention of Congress to make lead ores
dutiable where there was a greater guam
tity of lead than Of silver in the importa-
ton Notwithstanding that the value of silver
be greater than that of the lead The i'm
portation of silver with lead, it is alleged
is made in many cases for no other purpose
than to avoid the payment of the duty on
lead
1t is said that the persons at the con
ference represent fully one hundred
million dollars, and that the admission of
lead free of duty affects their business to
the extent of 81, 100000. Among those who
will appear before Mr. Tichenor are
Senator Wolcott and x-GOvernor Grant, of
Colorado; c. w. Bennett, W. G. VanHorn
and r H Tcrhune, of Utah; Hon. T. H.
Carter, Delegate in Congress from Mon
tana; Van b. Delashnut representing

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE election in South

Fails constitution, upon which the omnibus
bill required another vote, and for the cleo
ton Of delegates to the constitutional con
vention at Sioux Falls to complete the work
to be done before presidential prOclama-
ton of statehood. The vote to-day was light,
but the majority in favor of the cOnstitu-
ton was overwhelming, while the delegates
elected to the convention were two Repub-
licans and one Democrat, the division hav-
ing been agreed upon before the election.
In North Dakota delegates were elected to
the constitutional convention to convene
at Bismarck on the 4th Of July. Here, as
in South Dakota, the minority party of the
Democracy was given one third Of the dele
gates which will be strictly adhered to, and
the minority will be given hearing while
the constitution is being formed.
