MANY PEOPLE POISONED.
Water Of a Colorado River Pollut-
ed with Arsenic.

CARBONDALE (Col), Nov. 11.-Six
section men employed on the Rio
Grande road have been poisoned by
drinking water from the Roaring Fork
River, and two are in a critical con-
dition. A child, which died in convul-
sions, is believed also to have been
poisoned An analysis of the water
showed that it contained much arsenic
and other poisonous minerals. These
come from the new concentrator al AS
pen, in which zinc ores are treated, the
tailings being dumped into the river.
Hundreds of people in the valley who
used the river water for domestic pur-
poses are i'll, and many cattle have died
after drinking the water Ranchers
are taking steps to stop the pollution of
the stream.
