AUSTRALIA WILL BUILD
ROAD TO RADIUM HILL

SYDNEY. Australia Pl.-How much
is road worth that will open to COM
merce lode Of radium ore 20 feet
wide?
More than $4,000 600 is the answer
Of group Of Australians, who pro-
pose to build such a highway.
Existence Of the 20-foot radioactive
lode in Mount Painter and Radium Hill
in South Australia, has been known for
years, since Sir Douglas Mawson and
others verified its existence. 1t Is con-
Sidered here as the largest eventual
radium supply in the world. But trans
portation is only by camel, and this
has been too expensive to encourage
development
When, however. the commonwealth
government recently bought about $780,
600 worth of radium from Belgium, 1t
started an agitation for opening Radium
Hill.
