Come Home Again. A year ago, when he fled to Spain in exile, Tshombe was Moses the Hated. As the leader of copper-rich Katanga province's abortive secession, finally crushed by the U.N., he had been damned as a traitor to African nationalism and a stooge of the Belgians. But last week the stooge was being praised as a possible savior. In the chaotic Congo, that made as much sense as anything else...
Sculpture must defy gravity, says Alberto Collie, and by using magnets he performs feats of levitation with objects made of aluminum, copper and magnesium. Though Collie's magnetized sculptures do not soar with full air borne freedom, they do hover and float* above their pedestals, attached by almost imperceptible nylon strings. The effect is playful and magical-rather like Collie himself, who combines the hot-eyed zeal of a young Merlin with the twinkle-eyed grin of a boy with a toy. Collie, 25, calls his works spatial-absolutes: spatial because they are floating in space, absolute because...
...changing its sales contracts to include extra charges for valuable bismuth sprinkled through its copper byproducts, Kennecott Copper this year will earn an extra $100,000. Accountant Robert J. Edwards, who proposed the addition, has profited too. The $25,000 that Kennecott awarded him made Edwards the top winner among 500,000 employees to whom major corporations paid $19 million for suggestions last year...
...been prompted by half a dozen recent oil, gas and metal strikes, notably the spectacular copper, zinc and silver find by Texas Gulf Sulphur near Timmins. Ont. More than 1,000 prospectors have staked 8,000 claims, some as far as 65 miles from the strike site. Texas Gulf Sulphur will spend $20 million to develop its Timmins properties, and such Canadian firms as Noranda Mines, Hudson's Bay and Consolidated Mining together have raised their exploration budgets in the area by $10 million. International Nickel put 30 surveyors to work, some in helicopters, and even staked more than...
Frenzied Trades. Mining men have always known that Canada hides a treasure of minerals. But because of high development costs, great distances from markets and erratic transportation, they have exploited that country less than the U.S. Some recent changes now make the effort and expense worthwhile. World prices of copper, lead and zinc have jumped because of political unrest in Chile and Africa. This year also, prospectors struck oil in Alberta, gas in British Columbia and nickel in Manitoba. Geologists estimate the value of the Timmins find at $1 billion, and many of them believe it ultimately will return much...
