HOW OIL KING
LOST MILLIONS
Rep. Young is Quoted as Author
ity For Inside History of
Mesaba Deal
STEEL TRUST GOT A BARGAIN
Rockefeller Sold Too Cheaply By
Just S3l5,0OO,OO0
According to Upper Peninsula Con
gresham, Steel Co. Pulled OFF
Great Coup.

Washington. Nov. 27-Reprcscnta-
tive II. Olin Young of Ishpeming, Mich
member of the Stanley committee and
accounted the best informed man i'm
Congress on iron ore matters, is au-
thority for the following inside infor-
nation, as to how Rockefeller Cleaned
out" the Mcrrltts and how Rockefeller
in turn was cleaned OUT by the steel
trust.
All told, Rockefeller advanced the
Merritts about 100000. Through the
combination OF hard times i'm 1898 and
their own financial inability, the Mer-
ritts lost out and Rockefeller found
himself possessor of the Mesaba range.
But he was not a steel expert, knew
little of the real value of the property
and had still less inclination to develop
the field. So Rockefeller merely held
his ore holdings for considerable time,
hoping To unload when he could find
purchaser. All unbeknown to him,
the steel interests. during this interval
had force of experts investigating
Mesaba possibilities. There was
picking up i'm trade, iron ore was once
more coming into demand and If Me-
saba was as good as it was heralded as
being, the steel men wanted 1t.
How Deal Was Worked.
After six months investigation, re-i
port was made to the steel corporation
that the Mesaba Range contained APP
proximately $5O.OOO,OOO worth of ore,
Rockefeller was approached discreetly.
1t was suggested To him that his own
oil business might leave him little time
To open up an ore range, and he was
given To understand that the friendly
steel corporation might possibly con
slider purchase of the Mcsaba range,
quite as a favor To Mr.. Rockefeller, If
view of the hard times, depressed state
of business. etc"
OF course, John u. Rockefeller want
ed to sell. But he expected some diill-
Guilty in getting a fair return for his
$500. 900 outlay to the Mcrritts. Fearing
he would be forced to dicker he set
what he considered a sky high price
and informed J. Picrpont Morgan's
house that he would sell at $4,000. 600.
Instead Of dickcring or even seeking to
cut the Rockefeller figure by penny,
closed the deal instantly.
Since then Mr. Rockefeller has had |
hourly evidence that he sold his prize |
too cheaply. by just $315,OOo,O0O. Con-
gressmen now here and aware Of this |
steel coup, are wondering just how big !
d wave of popular sympathy will be |
aroused when John II. Rockefeller tells |
his tale of his own woe.
Chairman Stanley Aroused.
