DECISION.
The court finds:

the exception of the Standard
Smelling and Refining Co., are sim

common interest therein; that with
regard to the plaintiff, the Stand.
ard Smelling and Refining Co., al

plaintiff is similarly situated as re-
CARDS the subject matter with the
other plaintiffs, the misjoinder in
this behalf is immaterial and with
out prejudice to the rights of the
defendants.
Y II.
The court further finds that the
demurrers interposed by the de-
PENDANTS to the complaint herein
upon the ground that the said
plaintiffs in their complaint stated
no facts showing a common inter-
est in the action, and upon the fur
ther ground that the complaints
fail to state facts sufficient to con.
stitute a cause of action against
the defendants, are overruled.
LII.
Upon the merits the court finds:
1. That the plaintiffs, with the
exception of the Standard Smelling
and Refining Co., were, at the time
of the institution of this suit and
therefore, engaged in the business
of operating mines and mining
properties as set forth and alleged
in the complaint and were at said
time and times similarly situated
as regards the subject matter of
the suit and possessed a common
