Rio GIande Waters.

WAGON WHEEL GAP, Colo, July 2l.-
Anglers are having great rest. There
has been no fishing for two days. The
cause of this is the condition of the river.
1t is unusually muddy, and when in this
state all fishing rods are laid aside. Old
fishermen say they never saw the Rio
.Grande present such an appearance. 1t
is coal black. 1t is surmised that the
rains must have been very heavy up Deep
creek and washed all the burnt refuse
down. This will run off, however, in a
few days, and fishing will then be prime.
