group's latest album, "Tattoo
You," as well as songs that were
hits in the 1960s — about the
time many in the audience were
born

display signaled the end of what
promoters said was the
fastest-selling show in the en
tertainment history of upstate
New York

month, all 75.000 sold in less
than 12 hours Despite intermit
tent rain Sunday, scalpers were
selling the $15 concert tickets
for as much as $140
The Stones came to the Buf
falo area on the second stop of a

Emissions lawsuit
continues today
BOISE, Idaho
A $20 million lawsuit against
the nation's largest refiner of
lead, zinc and silver continues
in U S District Court here today
Nine children, all former re
sidents of Kellogg, contend the
Bunker Hill Co released harm
ful lead emissions which caused
them to suffer mental and phy
sical disabilities
More than two dozen wit
nesses have been called to the
stand to hear descriptions of the
Silver Valley area of northern
Idaho during the 1970s and
learn of the interworkings of the
Bunker Hill mining and smelting
operation
Plaintiff attorney Paul Whelan
of Seattle contends the com
pany knew it was releasing
harmful emissions, but did
nothing to correct the problem
The children in the lawsuit all
lived within one mile of the
Bunker Hill smelter They were
part of a 1974 study by the
Center for Disease Control in
Atlanta in which some 1,000
children were tested for blood
lead levels
That study indicated that
some 98 percent of the children
tested had high blood-lead
