...started out with them himself. At 15 he was expelled from high school in Superior, Wis. for spending all his time drawing instead of studying. He worked his way through the Chicago Art Institute by sweeping floors, working in a cafeteria, ushering at a theater and cooking on an ore boat. He finally landed a staff job on the Chicago Daily News, and at 22 was hired by the PD, where he has been ever since. Now, earning one of the highest salaries of any political cartoonist in the U.S., Fitz thinks newspaper cartooning has suffered because good artists have...
Deep-Sea Port. At the power site, Ventures plans to build mills and smelters to process ore from the company's worldwide network of mines. Electric furnaces will manufacture pig iron and steel, fed with iron ore from Ventures' mines on Vancouver Island, chrome from a Ventures property in the Transvaal, cobalt from New Caledonia and manganese from Southwest Africa. Another plant will manufacture aluminum. Lead and nickel from Ventures' Canadian mines will be processed on the site. A new, deep-sea port near by will enable ships to deliver ore and carry away finished metals...

Mining Cerro Bolívar will be no easy task. Giant power shovels (the first were arriving this month) will scoop up blasted ore and load it on to trucks which will carry it to the railway (now being built). The 10,000-ton ore trains will roll through the chaparral 90 miles northeast to the black Caroni River, tributary of the Orinoco. For the workers a new town, Ciudad Piar, is sprouting at the foot of Cerro Bolívar, and a new port, Puerto Ordaz, has already been built on the Caroni...
