COMPANY.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-That the ore
and coal holdings acquired by the
United States Steel Corporation in the
absorption of the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company, in 1907, had a valua-
tion OF $2OO,OOO,OOO was estimated
from figures on the mineral holdings
Of the Tennessee company, given yes
terday to the house Of representatives
committee on inquiry into the steel
corporation by expert engineers.
In acquiring the Tennessee company
the United States Steel Corporation
exchanged five per cent. second bonds
valued at $29,OOO,OOO, the transaction
having been brought about to prevent
the collapse OF the New York broker
age firm Of Moore & schley, because
Of excessive loans with the Tennessee
Coal and Iron stock as collateral.
Much of the testimony was tech
nical, snd but three members OF the
committee, Chairman Stanley and
Representative Young, OF Michigan
and Danforth, OF New York, were
present.
The experts agreed that pig iron
could be produced in the Birmingham
district $4 a ton. cheaper than in the

The MAN IN THE BOX

Il owe some of my success to the

Harry A Chase" said Mr.. Robertson,
speaking OF the man in the box.
The thousands of people who have
admired and applauded Mr.. Rober-
sons traveiogues have made guesses
as to what methods of mechanism
was due the complete working har-
mony between the man on the ros-
trum and the operator of the picture
machine in the little coop in the rear
of the church. Some of the details
of this communication. for reasons
best known to themselves, are kept
as a secret between Mr.. Robertson and
his assistant 1t may be said, how
ever, that there is a double method
of communication between the box
and the rostrum. One is by telephone
and the other a mysterious electrical
contrivance which either Mr.. Rober-
son nor Mr.. Chase will reveal. II is
notable that while Mr.. Robertson.
standing on the platform, is able to

Mr.. Robertson has never had more
than two operators in his employe
The first was with him until two years
ago. when he was obliged to give up
the work because of advancing age
Mr.. Robertson then searched from San
Francisco to New York. until he se-
