Mexican federal officials say Grupo Mexico, a mining conglomerate, will set up a $151 million trust to pay for damage caused when one of its mines spilled acid-laced copper sulfate and heavy metals into two rivers in northern Mexico on Aug. 7. The company blamed heavy rains for the overflow of containment ponds on Aug. 7. Officials say lax supervision at the mine appeared to have caused the accident.
