It k provided, also, that ores metals iu any crude form requiring *m< log may be removed iu original packager la bulk from tbe veeaal. and may be smelted or refined together with other metals of home or foreign production. It is profited that each d*y a quantity of stuvlled or refioed dutiable metal equal to ninety per oantum of tbe dultabk met ak contained In tba Imported metal refilnad or smelted that day shall be set aside, and such metal ho set aside shall not be u.ken from said works except to custom bouse or bonded warehouse.
