TELLS STORY TO COMMITTEE
Pays Million? for Ore Lands and
Turns Them Over to
Stockholders.
Washington. February 12.?James J.
Il'll, chairman Of the board of the
Great Northern Railroad, tobi the
Stanley steel trust investigation com?
ma i.-. lo-duy a story ot himself 'n
the role ot philanthropist to the stock?
holders of the: railway company.
Mr. Ulli told how ho hau bought
properties i"i more than $4,000,000,
turned them over lor that amount to
the Lake superior Company, Limited,
as trustee tor tue ruinou? stoe Knotti?
er.-, and .presented ino stockholders
with pio i..ia certificates lor the in?
creased value of tne property winch
accumulated rapidly and amounted to
millions. , ,
The railroad magnate was question?
ed at length regarding i.hO lease of I
thi Superior ore lands to the Untied]
Slutos stiel Corporation for develop?
ment, a base willen th< corporation
recently decided to cancel on Janu?
ary l. 191C. In this laud there are
estimated to be about 500,000,000 tons,
of ore which the Steel Corporation !
values at $1 n ton.
-,I would not take Jl a ton for the
ore," said Mr. Hill.
The ore freight rate- from the Lake
Superior region to the Pittsburgh ells-J
trict. which the United States Steel
Corporation recently reduced to .S"
cents a ton, Mr. Hill declared to be |
the cheapest in the country.
And It will be still lower, said he. |
The next rate will lie GO cel.ts.
?'Why did they cut the rr.tr," he
was asked.
Steel People Scared.
"Why, I think the Steel Corporation !
Just got scared to death." he. replied.
"That's all there is to it."
"Hut you get your royalty Just the
same.'" ask-, d Representative Young.
"And when the lehne runs out you've
cot the ore'.'" |
"Yes," Mr. Hill replied, "what dif?
ference does It make. 1 II have the ore
mid it doesn't go out of fashion, and ,
the tire risk Is quite low." |
Representative Gardner asked the)
witness wi.y he had turned over i he i
properties t.- the Lake. Superior Coin- i
pnny lor the bencht of stockholders.
.Mr. Hill declared irsc trustee company
reimbursed him for whit he hau paid,
and the increased value was a gift to
the Great Northern stockholders.
"The trustee company paid 1110 what '
t-?vaid for the property, a little over
) 4.000,000, with ."? pur cent. Interest.-'
said Mr. Hill. "These properties Im?
mediately took on considerable value
and could make motley for the stock?
holders, There was nothing to con?
ceal about it. Wherever 1 saw 1 could
make money for the stockholders that,
way 1 did lt." I
"Did tue stockholders of the Great
Northern Itailway pay anything to the
Lake Superior Company?" usmj Mr.
Gardner.
"No, their interests were a gift to
them."
"\\ hy did tin- stockholders get thia
gill'." usked Mr. than, of Texas.
"1 got buch all 1 had paid, and the '
stockholders 6l the raitrouii got the
benefit of the additional value." snui
Mr. iilll. "Ii I could make money lor
myself, I could make it tor the stock?
holders. I was in a measure dealing
with myself. 1 bought the property
to got control of in?: transportation
ot tile Ol'e 111 the Haiti; Superior II
gloii. Subsequent devt lopnieuis show -
ed the property was wurtii vastly mote
than ?4.000,000.
"I bought the propel lies as an Indi
vlduul," .Mr. Hin continued, "because
as a railroad company I do hot think
the Great Northern would have the
legal right to own and operate tnir.es. '
"Uut you. as president, could own
and operate mines ami distribute tue
stock to th>- railroad stockholders'.'"
a.-Ke.I Chairman Stanley.
"Yes. or give it to tne poor." said Mr.
Hill.
