From Virginia Ore Compan.
les Ordered Not to Be
Poured Into River.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. July ~
Congressman littlepags has re-
eewed word from the war depart
ment that the virginia companies,
which have been washing iron ore
and turning the washings into the
New river, have all ceased such op-
creations except one company. The
effect of turning the muddy water
into the river has, been to discolor
the water Throughout the entire
length OF New river and Kanawha
river and even for some distance in
the Ohio river. The matter was
taken up some time ago with the
war department by Congressman
Ltttlepage and an order was issued
directing the virginia. companies to
begin work on settling. pools not
later than May 2. 1912, and after
December 2, 1912. to entirely dis
continue the emptying OF the muddy
water into the river.
