Zinc and Lead Tariff.

A Butte dispatch says the peo- pie of Butte, and in fact the whole western country are strongly opposed to Congress making any reduction in the tariff on zinc and lead. Resolu- tions have been forwarded to the representatives of the state in Washington, pointing out that a reduction in the tariff along the line suggested would mean injury to the zinc and lead in dustry, not only in this state, but to the entire west.

General Viljoen Still American Citiz en

Gen. B. J. Viljoen. Boer vet eran who fought in the Madero rebellion at Juarez and else where, and who is well known in Tucson where he was for some months a familiar figure, does not want to become a Mex ican citizen. At the close of the rebellion, he was appointed by President Madero, Yaaui peace commissioner, with E. " Anaya of Tucson as his secretary. At the same time, he and Anaya applied for naturalization papers from the Mexican government.
 Gen. Viljoen nevertheless met with so much opposition from Mexican army officers that he withdrew from Sonora and has been or his ranch in the MeSilla valley of New Mexico since them.
 He has now made application to the department of foreign re- lations in Mexico to have his application for naturalization cancelled, stating that he wishes to remain an American citizen. He has been totally disabled for several months and doubts if he will ever again regain his health and strength.

Work is going on all the time up on the Chief, the property re gently bonded by A. l.. Harroun and associates, of Kansas City, from local men. About twelve or fifteen men are constantly employed on the claims, under the supervision of Engineer w. H. Warrington. Recently, on new work on the claims, near the No. shaft, ore running good silver values was encountered.
 This new find, according to the engineer, has no particular importance, except that it may lead to good values or a per manent ore body. Local mining men are more Sanguine. It is claimed by those who hold the Chief in high esteem that at last the work on the claims is being done in the right place and in the right manner. TEey are enthusiastic over the latest showing and assert it has far greater significance than is ad- mitted at the engineers office.
 The group is close to the Worlds Fair, in a good region, and while that itself may not be enough to insure big mine, 1t is further noted by local min CTS that Uncle Bill Powers, from whom the opinion was secured. and who is supposed to know about mines, would not have held the property for nearly twenty years unless he knew it would eventually develop into a big mine. ne.-PatagOnian.
