rates in two, and many of the proper
ties that have been closed down will

pany, in which it was alleged that the
dumping of tailings into the river by
the mining company had damaged the
farmers to the extent of many thou

convinced the court that damage had
been done. The cases in number of
cases were dismissed without preiu-
dice, thus giving the farmers an op-
portunity to commence new actions.
