UNKRA Aids Korean Mining Community
Caption Description
Considered uneconomic for development as late as 1952, a valley in the Korean province of Kangwon-do today is the locale of a thriving and growing coal industrial community. Working with assistance from the United Nations Korean Reconstruction Agency (UNKRA), the Kangwon Mine Company, a privately owned enterprise, has helped the community to develop both socially and industrially. The company has built modern homes with running water and electric lights for its workers - advantages unusual in the country areas of Korea.
This photograph shows the collapsible steel props, supplied by UNKRA, used in the mine. This is a new and modern mining method which allows the props to be easily withdrawn and put into re-use elsewhere.
