Quapaw Mineral Suit Dismissed Ties to Eagle-Picher Probe
A long running dispute over lead ore royalties involving the Quapaw tribe of northeast Oklahoma and the Eagle Picher Lead Co. appears to be ending as the suit is dropped amid claims of political and legal influence. Bruce Kremer, ally of Homer Cummings, defended the dismissal citing mining-law expertise, while Indian Bureau representatives contest the decision and the role of Justice Department action. Officials on the Senate Indian Affairs Committee and Interior Department argue the Indians had a valid case and oppose the dismissal.
