MAY BUY IRON MOUNTAIN.
Steel Trust Looking UP Durango De
posts.

Austin, Tex, oct. 10-The great and
Mexico, may pass into the hands Of the
United States Steel Corporation. 1t
is stated that representatives Of that
concern have been making careful
investigation of the mammoth deposit
of iron ore and that they will make q
highly favorable report, recommending
its purchase. This mountain is a solid
mass Of iron ore, more than 400 feet
nigh, about two miles long and one
mile wide In 1854 it attracted the at
tention of Coils p. Huntington, who
was al the head of the southern Pacific
Company He acquired control of tht.
property for a song and built thc
Mexican International railroad through
a long stretch of desert country to the
city OF Durango for the express pur
pose of developing the big deposit of
iron ore. He never carried out his
plans in the matter of establishing a
large iron md steel plant at Durango
and he is said to have disposed of his
interest in the mountain some time be
.ore his death. Other Americans be
came interested in the project of cs-
tIhlishing a great iron industry At the
base of the mountain, and the small
iron works situated there We're ac-
quired by them. and it has grown to b.
a concern of considerable size and i'm
portancc. The blast furnace which
the syndicate operates has a capacity
Of leo tons of pig iron per day and the
rolling mill turns out each day 30 tons
Of bar steel.
The iron mountain at Durango was
visited by Humboldt the great German
traveller and explorer. He described
it as "one of the wonders Of the world.
How deep into the ground the mass ot
iron extends is not known. but it is
"simated that the mountain affords
sufficient ere to keep Mexico supplied
with iron and steel for centuries toI
come Large quantities of the ore is
shipped to smelters throughout Mexico
for fiuX, 1t averages sixty to sixty
five per cent. pure iron and this purity
makes it particularly valuable for
fluXing purposes. Considerable of the
low-gradc ore is used by the railroads
for ballast.
Since the establishment of the great
iron and steel plant at Monterey.
Mexico. which was erected at a cost OF
SIC, coo. 600, the United States Steel Cor
poration has been losing business in
Mexico. 1t is said to have determined
to establish large iron and steel plant
Of its own in that country in order toI
successfully compete with the Mon
tercv independent concern.
