ROANOKE, VA, May 12.-Roanoke has
taken special pride in the clear water OF
CRYSTAL Spring About two months ago
the water became muddy. 1t was at first
thought that the discoloration was caused
by work In the Rorer Mines, 1t being be-
ljeved that the mines were on the same
vein of water. Investigation showed that
this was not the cause. and later the
water company made an investigation and
declared that 1t was due to cavern
under yellow Mountain. still the water
remained muddy. Yesterday the water
was drawn from the reservoir, and IN the
south end there was discovered a hoie.
through which the water had worked into
red clay for about two hundred feet. BACK
