WITNESS DOUBTS CHARGE
y 49, y
AGAINST ROCKEFELLER

Joseph Sellwood. ore expert. resuming
his testimony before the House steel
trust investigating committee today. said
that he did not believe that John d.
Rockefeller had warned people to keeT
out of the Mesaba ore region previous
to his purchase of the Merritt Bros prop.
erty in 1894. The Miesota Iron Com
pany. previous to that time, had con.
templated purchasing the Merritt tract,
Mr.. Sellwood said, but did not do SO
because of lack Of funds.
1T has been stated said Representa-
tive Young. that John d. Rockefeller
had warned people to keep hands off the
property"
Il never heard of that said Mr.. Sell
wood: land IL he did 1t had nothing to
do with our not purchasing the prop
erty.''
Asked by Mr. Young about ore deposits
in the United States outside of the Lake
Superior and Birmingham districts, Mr..
Sellwood told the committee he had made
examination of several deposits of avail
able ore not yet touched to any extent.
In Utah. he declared. there are deposits
5O0,OOO.O00 to 100000 600 tons. In the
Sunrise district of Wyoming, he said.
were at least 1OO,0OOOOO tons.
Difficult of Access.
In the Baraboo district in Wisconsin,
Mr.. Sellwood estimated there were from
2o0,0Oo.OoO to 3OO,OOOOOO tons of ore, but
it was difficult Of access because of ex-
cessive water in the ground. There are
ores also in Texas, he said, but he had
no estimate Of the quantity.
Mr.. Sellwood.' optimistic about the
future OF the steel business, told the
committee that the United States Steel
Corporation did not control all the
available ore of the country.
considering the blast furnace and
manufacturing capacity of the United
States Steel Corporation in it's north
ern plants" Representative Young
said. would you consider that the ore
reserves of that corporation, outside
OF the Hill lease, in the entire Lake
Superior district were excessive:"
No, sir" said Mr.. Sellwood
AT the present rate of exhaustion"
Mr.. Young continued, chow long do
you think the steel corporations re-
serve will flast?".
AT the rate the corporation is going
now I should say the ore would last
from twenty-five to thirty years." Mr.
Sellwood answered.

Acute Weakness Shown.

Politics and the outcome of the vote
of the locomotive engineers, which may
be known later in the day. We're the
weapons employed to depress the list.
The heaviness of the first hour gave way
TO acute weakness in some cases before
midday and other stocks established low
prices for the week. Selling of Missouri
Pacific, which appeared TO be of a
liquidating character, was associated with
the increased heavlneSS of Colorado Fuel,
these two having an Identity of influential
interest.
Hill issues felt the force of the move
ment which continued to center around
Union Pacific and United States Steel,
the latter declining TO 80. a loss OF rs.
while Union faclnc lost d point. Gains
in Canadian Pacific. International Har-
vester and some of the speclalties were
largely lost, with an erratic movement
in American Can. Bonds were steady
Union Pacific Weak.
Renewed weakness in Union Pacific,
which went tower than in the morning.
created heaviness elsewhere. and the list
assumed an apathetic tone. Reports of
sales of copper metal at above 10 cents
served to impart some degree of steadi-
ness to that group, but the trend in gem
eral continued downward. Canadian Pa
ctfic lost all Its early rise.
Announcement that the railroad en-
giueers had voted to strike appar-
emily had no adverse effect ON the
market. prices hardening appEeciabIy
on the lead of New York Central,
which attained its best quotation of
the movement. American Can COM
mon shared this distinction, with al
most corresponding sIrenstn IN the
preferred, while other active issues
made partial recovery. This was soon
offset, however. by recurrent selling of
Union Pacific. which touched lower
level than before and was followed
by another period of inactivity.

that one of those balloons-it was
