MINING NOTES.

Following the advice Of the depart
ment of justice, an order has been
issued by the secretary of the treas
ury classifying ores chiefly valuable
for the zinc which they contain as
metallic mineral substances in crude
state, under paragraph 1873 of the tariff
act, which pay duty of 20 per cent
ad valorem. Silicate of zinc is free of
duty under section 514 of the tariff
act. Sulphides and carbonates will
pay duty of 20 per cent aid valorem.
This ruling is the outcome of an ex-
tended contest between the zinc pro-
ducers of Missouri and the ore import
ers. 1t is understood that the import
ers will appeal.
