Mr.. McMilian: are you afraid that these
folks Will destroy this Industry
MI. ga ter-Not AT all: hut permit me Ia say
say that the worthy pentl. man taN,s up all TINS
aggregate out put and says that after a lapse at
=. years the head there as compared with other |
metals ~ only > per cent. of our .n ire metallic
production. NOW. the facts are that We have
for over "A quarter of "a century silver and gold
have been taken out without touching the low
Z, AIDE lead mines at all. Placer mining has
ceased IA be AN important factor in the mining
Industry OF that country. We are. therefore, AT
the u eseut time using the smelling process of re
ducfng ores. The Granite Mountain mine il an
exception. The last Chance and Alder gulrhrs
were remarkable exceptions. other gtlchss can
not be found now to yield AS those yielded. and I :
insist thai figures based on exceptions are not
reliable. The low grade mines Of Montana are
numerous. Starting at "A point 100 miles south Of
the Canadian border On the main ridge of the
Rocky Mountains. in every, township in Mountains,
YOU win md promising low grade prospects,.
country, and labor conditions In these mines are
not idenu al " IN tine placer mines, because tn.
peoi labor al of Mc>iro comes IN direct cofnl,tti-
lion with their lead product.
Now. our worthy fric al has suggested that we
are i'm need OF this Mexican lead ore Ia which he
refers. LIT me call attention u this fact in that
connection without taking up the. time of the
committee. Before THE hearing On
Ihe 18Th day of last May, before the secretary III
the treasury, which resulted in this ruling In
October, the Bunker liili and sullivan aud other
western mines had by virtue of this identical
competition ceased operations and were idle at
ance Of lead ore .f "a very high grade. Within a
