RADIUM HUNTERS

Begin a Rush on the Vacant Lands in Colorado. Denver, Colo., January 26.—A rush has begun for the radium land in Colorado and southern Utah. Hundreds of persons are already hurrying there in order to locate before the vacant, lands are withdrawn from entry by the government. Grand Junction is the center of the activity. It is expected that by the time the red tape necessary to the withdrawal of the lands has been unraveled there will be very few claims left. Dozens have been filed on during the past few days at Grand Junction’. The rush is strongly reminiscent of the old-time gold field rushes.
