MINING NEWS
LEAD MINERS FIGHT
ING FOR TARIFF
Western Producers Are NOW Well Or
ganized to Oppose Reduction In
Duty on Lead lmportations.

Denver. Col. April 12.-Five repre-
sentatives of the lead and zinc pro-
ducerS of the United States have es.
establish headquarters at Washington
for the purpose of try to convince con-
sress that a moderate tariff duty on
all lead and zinc importations Is alb
solutely necessary to prevent wide dis
aster to these industries. Since the
American Mining congress began to
agltate the maintenance of these tar
III duties some three months ago. min
ing men have come to realize the
peril that threatens their interests
should the duties be removed or re-
duced.
Pittcd against local producers are the
operators in Mexico, where vast lie.
posts of lead and zinc ores are now
being extensively developed. The Mex
lean operator gets his labor for 20
cents to 10 cents per day. which in
quality compares remarkably well with
labor in the local mines, which costs
from $500 TO 5000 per day. AS the
average labor cost of producing lead
In the United States is GO per cent of
the total cost of the product the tre-
mendous advantage Of the Mexican
producer can be readily seen.
The Payne bill now provides for q
duty of IL 2 cents per pound on lead
in ores, but It Is known that there Is
a. considerable sentiment In congress
in favor Of reducing this to one cent
per pound Under one cent tariff,
lead producers would lose more than
S3.00O,0OO annually. while three
fourths of them would be completely at
the mercy of the foreign producers,
and would have to close down their
! mines.
The campaign begun by the Mining
Congress will be vigorously supported
bv the states Of Colorado, Idaho. Utah,
Nevada. Missouri, Wisconsin and Him
ois and the committee at Washington
will work for duty of l IL cents
per pound on lead In ores and Is
cents OH lead in pigs. bars, and bull
ion.

JACKLING RETURNS
FROM RAY MINES
Declares Four Million Tone OF Ore
Were Added to Reserve
During March

Salt Lake. April 12.-News; Ac-
cording to D. C. Jackling, general man
ager of the Ray Consolidated prop
critics at Kelvine, Arizona, the ore re-
serves were increased by 100000 tons
during March, by the connecting up
OF the work OF the diamond drills that
were used to explore the property. Mr..
Jackling has just returned from the
property, where he has been for sew
eral weeks making a thorough inves-
tigation Of conditions.
The property he asserts Is fast being
rounded into shape and that the fu-
ture of the Ray Consolidated looks
brighter each time he visits the place
During his stay there the experimental
mill at Kelvin was closed down 4
greater part of the time. owing to n
number of changes that were made
in testing the ore.
The narrow gauge road between Ray
and Kelvin, over which all of the ore
trains have to pass to the mill, is he
ing wldened into a standard gauge
road This Is part of the Ray Con-
solidated property and was necessitat-
ed by the increase In production that
Will follow In the course of the year.
Mr. Jackling declared today that w.
o. Bradley has been appointed con-
sulting engineer OF the property and
that he will assume his position about
May l. He will be there at that time
and oversee the mill construction

MINING FURNISHES GREAT
EST TONNAGE FOR RAILROADS
More Than All Other Industries Com.
bined.

The published volume containing the
proceedings OF the Eleventh Annual
session of the American Mining con-
gress. held at Pittsburg, Pa. last De
cember, has Just been received. and
contains many articles of interest to
the mining fraternity. Among the ad-
dresses delivered was one by Edward
H Hartman. Americas railroad king.
Mr.. Hartman gave some interest
ing facts concerning the tonnage Of
freight hauled by railroads. showing
that the crude products of the mines
furnished SO per cent Of the total
freight tonnage handled by the rail.
roads of this country during the year
ending Jnue 30. 1906. while the man
ufaetured products of the mines fur
nished an additional II per cent; so
that the mineral products furnished for
that year 81 per cent OF the total
amount of freight carried by the rail-
roads.
During the same year the products
of the forests furnished II per cent
of the total: agricultural products
eight per cent, and manufactured
other than from mine products, 4 per
cent, which comparison brings out
very clearly the overwhelming mag
nitude Of the mining industry.
Mr.. Hartman stated that the miner
and the railroad builder were the two
great advance agencies which made
possible the immense industrial de-
velopment which has occurred be-
tween the Alleghenies and the Pacific
coast during the last sixty years.
President Taft expressed his de-
sire to assist in every possible way IN
the development of mining, stating
that the mining industry had grown
To such proportions that 1t was deserv-
ing of all the assistance which the
government could bestow upon 1t.
Senator Charles Dick of Ohio, was
another one of the speakers who ful-
ly appreciated the importance and
magnitude of our country's mining In
terests and in an able address point
ed out thenecessity that existed Tor
the creation of Burean Of Mines by
the government. Mr Dick has been
the champion Of this bill in the SEN
ate for several years.
One of the themes widely discussed
was conservation in mining, both as
regards material resources, and that
more important factor-human life

Portland. Ore, April I2.-The Even

which have been evolved in the Kai-
bah forest is the creation of water
supplies for cattle, AS the nearest
river is 1000 feet below the forest
boundary, it has been necessary to
seek elsewhere for the supply, and
this has been found In numerous
springs in the vicinity. The develop
ment of these springs is expensive
work, but il adds so greatly to the re-
sources of the district that the set
tiers are glad to lend whatever aid
and money they have at their disposal
10 bring about the improvements.
Supervisor Clark states that $1,000
spent in the development of certain
springs within the forest increased
the grazing capacity of that district
last year from $50 head of cattle to
1000 Next year the same range will
accommodate 1000 head The long
est pipe line In that vicinity Is three
and one-half miles in length and this
Will shortly be extended to seven and
one-half miles at probable cost of
$1,000. The range in that section al
ready exports from 1000 to 5000 head
of beef cattle each year.
The timber resources Of the Kaibab
forest are immensely rich. recent

years, the estimate simply showing
the quantity of marketable timber now

The great crying need of that sec.
! ton Is railroad and shipping facili-
ties for not only the expectation Of
/ lumber cattle, etc. but as a means of
| bringing into the district the requis-
! tics of civilization. Mr.. Clark stated
yesterday that he could give but n
poor estimate of the probable cost of
a road such rs is needed there, but
| said that it should be at least 100
miles long and might be constructed,
he thought, for $4,000.000.
