W orld’s Richest Known Uranium Mines
Boom Outpost In Belgian Congo
RICHEST KNOWN £
URANIUM MINES
IN THE WORLD h
-
(By William Anderson)
({#*) Newsfeatures)
KAMINA, Belgian Congo, (/P)—This little whistle stop on the Port
Francqui-Elisabethville railway is on the way to becomeing Belgium’s
biggest overseas military base.
Squads of Congolese working under the supervision of 175 Euro
peans are carving a huge airfield and military camp out of the sur
rounding jungle. In the case of hostilities Kamina would become the
king-pin of the colony’s defense.
Oboui 150 miles to the southeast lies plenty worth defending—the
Congo's uranium mines, the richest known in the world.
With an area eighty times the size of Belgium at their disposal the
Belgian technicians are not being skimpy about the size of the field.
Its longest runway is scheduled to stretch three and a half miles. Over
100 miles of roadway are being laid out. Altogether the field and mili
tary base will cover 123,500 acres, when finished late in 1952.
During 1949 the construction ate up $1,740,000 or about one tenth of
the fifteen million dollars estimated as the final cost.
Towards the end of 1951 the base will be partially opened when a
pilot school moves in. Young Belgians will earn their wings over the
wide open spaces of the colony instead of over the intensely crowded
home country as at present. Accident risk will be cut down because of
this. In case of a crash landing the fledglings have one million square
miles to choose from instead of tiny cultivated fields of Belgium.
