John II. Nordquist we'll known mining Of this city,
on trip to Spokane this week. gave the following interview
relative to what the probable effect of reduction Of the tariff
inn lead and zinc would be on this district:
81 do not know what effect the protests being forwarded
to the United States from all of the lead producing dis
rcs Of the country will have the passage Of the Under
wood tariff bills but do know that if the passes the
upper house of congress and becomes law the general lead
mining industry of the country will have received setback
from which it will not in many months Whether It
would result in the closing down of the Occur dAene mines
not prepared to say. That would depend entirely
what per cent of profit the mine figure they oper
late
''The Underwood bill provides for the admission Of lead
into the United States free of duty and this will undoubtedly
the dumping into the country of vast quantities of cheap
Mexican lead with which domestic products will have to
compete in the open market Canadian lead will also
into competitions but have little fear from northern
|neghbors
'he wage schedule in the Canadian mines is practically
the this side of the line and they mine their
ore much if any cheaper than The only danger from
Mexico where poems be hired for work in the at
from 80 cents to 81 day.
There is very little lead available in the United States
lat present and e bill should pass the shutting down
output for few months would undoubtedly be the Of
forcing the price back to the normal level do not think
we have much to fear in the Coeur dAlenes believe
practically hold the key to the situation Regardless of this
however, the Underwood bill is detrimental to the mining in
dusy of the northwest and the lead schedule should certainly
be revised.'

TARIFF REDUCTION A HEAVY BLOW.

s'The proposition to reduce the tariff lead as set out
in the Underwood tariff measure which has passed the lower
house, blow at the ad mining industry and every effort
should be made by those interested in lead mining defeat
the proposal says Sany A. Easton manager of the Bunker
Hill & Sullivan
ut would not follow, should the pass that the
larger mines would close down. but they would be compelled
to work on margin and would have to handle only
the better classes of This would as result that
less would be employed in the larger where there
is a quantity Of low grade lead.
"l'he proposal to cut the duty lead is quite different
from the Canadian reciprocity measure for in Canada
dtons much the they here and the effect
would not be felt materially Where would feel would
be in the importing of lead from Mexico and Spain There
they have great bodies of lead which they produce with cheap
labor Practically all the lead mined in Spain is exported
they trifng amount of their entire product them
selves In the United States practically all of the lead mne
is used here"

A letter received today by Presi-
dent Charles ]. Crockett OF the
Commercial club from the receivers
Of the Denver-Laramie road indi-
Gates that the fight for q decent
mail service for Greeley is about
won.
Following the meeting Of the
Commercial club directors last Mon
day night the receivers promised to

a week. The letter today says that
tho mail contract can be secured
but asks for more time to look into
the early morning train matter.
The idea Is to have an early train
on the Laramie bringing the morn
ing newspapers and mail into Gree
ley in time for breakfast perusal.
Additional business Is needed to
make such a train a paying propo-
sition for the road and the business
men will be asked to show their ap-
probation Of an early mail service
by giving the road express and
freight business.
Fort Collins and other northern
Colorado towns are interested In
the early mail and early newspapers
and have promised some help. The
innovation will be appreciated by
