    The Death of a River Looms Over Choice for Interior Post
    NYTIMES
    ....Mr. Rodriguez was one of many witnesses to what state officials have
    called the worst environmental disaster in Colorado, a spill of cyanide
    and acidic water from a gold-mining operation that killed virtually every
    living thing in a 17-mile stretch of the Alamosa River, though causing no
    human injuries. 
    The company responsible for the leakage, the Summitville Consolidated
    Mining Corporation, declared bankruptcy, and its major officers fled the
    country, leaving taxpayers with a cleanup bill that is approaching $150
    million. READ IT...

    TODAY IN HISTORY JANUARY 7 
    .
    {EXCERPTED FROM On This Date In North American Indian History
    By Phil Konstantin}

    1802: President Thomas Jefferson believes that the Indians have more land  than they need. He feels that if they become indebted at the government trade houses, they will sell their lands to pay the debts. He has also voiced the  opinion that if they become farmers, they will need less land. Today, he will  address the WEA, POTAWATOMI, and MIAMI Indians on that latter issue.
        He extols the virtues of renewable food and clothing supplies. "We will with  pleasure furnish you with implements for the most necessary arts, and with  persons who may instruct you how to make and use them." .

    1831: Eneah Micco (Fat King), Principal CREEK Chief of the lower towns,  and others, decide on this date to send representatives to Washington D.C..  They want to talk to Secretary of War Lewis Cass about Alabama laws, and  about whites settling on their lands. The government's response will be, as always in Indian removal questions, "we cannot help you, go west."
