Chile's mountain riches will supply the raw materials: ore from Bethlehem's El Tofo mines, 500 miles up the coast; coal from the undersea veins of nearby Lota; power from Fomento's hydroelectric plant at neighboring El Abánico. Only limestone has been a problem. To get it, a crew of 130 men, with rat-hungry cats, is now setting up installations on rainy, rat-infested Madre de Dios Island, 900 miles down the coast...
