Impending Treasury Decision on Silver Ore Classification
Washington signals a shift to tax by weight for silver and lead ores, reversing 1880 policy. Mexican ore shipments, 10,000 tons via El Paso last year, would face 1.5 cent duty per pound if weighed by lead content. The move risks rail trade losses and smelting industry impact. The policy would alter flux ore flows used in smelting and could push Mexico’s trade toward other nations.
