AMONG THE MINERS
Devoted to the Large and Small News of the Timing
Comps Of Fergus County. - - - - -

Several additional suits for injunc-
ton have been brought in the state
courts by ranchers in the Deer Lodge
valley against the Anaconda and Wa
shoe companies to stop the opera
lions OF the Washoe smelter at Ana
conda. It is claimed by the ranchers
that the sulphur smoke and poison
GUS fumes from the smelter are ruin
ing the land and killing the live stock.
The company has settled with large
number Of ranchers and paid them
satisfactory prices for their lands.
The remaining land owners affected
by the smoke formed an association
and pooled their claims and then ap-
pointed committee to fix the sums
that each should demand from the
company. In that manner the price
was fixed and presented to the COM
pany for payment. The company
found on investigation that the prop
erty appraised for taxation was less
than s per cent. of what the owners
demanded, and refused to settle on
that basis. The association then
brought injunction suits and named
the amount Of their damages, multi
plying the original claims by about
three, or about SO per cent higher
than the assessed valuation of the
property. The company claims it is
scheme to force the company to
settle at the price demanded or have
the meter shut down. It is the opin-
ion among attorneys, however, that
In view of the fact that the companies
are able to respond to any Judgment
for damages that may be obtained,
the courts will not issue an injunction
that will close the smelter. A shut
down would directly and Indirectly
affect $4,000 people in the state who
are in one way or another dependent
on the mines and smelters of the
Amalgamated company.
