FAI.SK KVIUKNCE. Thf. Times today contains an interesting inter-esting and instructive interview with Judge Rockwell, one of tho most eminent emi-nent lawyers of . Denver, delining the smelter situation in Colorado, which applies with equal force to Utah. Judge Rockwell shows that the evidence produced pro-duced before tho congressional committee com-mittee was purposely garbled in order to force favorable legislation for the eastern smelters and prejudicial to the western smelters in their fight for supremacy, Tho burden bur-den of the eastern smelting men was to make it appear that tho western smelters smel-ters were dependent upon tho admission of Mexican ores free of duty so that the western furnaces might bo kept running and their labor employed. This statement is positively and absolutely abso-lutely false, as tho lead ores of Mexico carry no more lead than Is essential to llux themselves. Tho interview with Judge Rockwell will bear perusal.
