Our 250 GHz observations, together with available data from the literature, yield a sample of 14 z~6 quasars that are bright in millimeter dust continuum emission with estimated FIR luminosities of a few 10^12 to 10^13 Lsun. Most of these millimeter-detected z~6 quasars have also been detected in molecular CO line emission, indicating molecular gas masses on order of 10^10 Msun. We have searched for C II 158 micron fine structure line emission toward four of the millimeter bright z~6 quasars with ALMA and all of them have been detected. All these results suggest massive star formation at rates of about 600 to 2000 Msun/yr over the central few kpc region of these quasar host galaxies.
