Radium Company of Colorado
-
A company active in mining near the Gateway area in the early Twentieth century. It was created by two university professors who formed the Schlesinger Radium Company in Denver in 1914. This company processed and produced more radium than anywhere other, and eventually changed its name to the Radium Company of Colorado in 1918. After creating a subsidiary called the Cold Light Manufacturing Company and absorbing several other companies, it ceased operation by 1924.*
