IRON ORES OF TEXAS
TO BE TREATED EAST SHIP-
MENT OF 2,500 TONS.
THE SIGNIFICANCE ATTACHEO
Believed It Represents Start of Devel-
opment of Extensive Ore Fields
of Etist Texas.
Texas City, Tex.- A steamer of the
Haiti more-Texas Steamship Company
Is loading the first cargo of iron ore
ever to go out of Texas. The shipment
consisting of 2.tons, represents
ores from every Held in Ka t Texas,
and will he distributed among a num-
ber of smelters lu Pennsylvania. The
steamer will discharge cargo at Phila-
delphia.
The ore, It la learned, is being taken
to the Kastern smelters for testing.
While Texas ore is known lo he very
rich In metallic Iron, there has never
been any attempt on a large s< ale to
determine just what can he lone with
It, and the trial tests about to lie made
are taken to mean much for the future
of Texas as an iron ore producing
state. Several months ago it became
known that C. M. Schwab, president of
the Hethlohem Steel Company, had
completed a personal Inspection of
the Kast Texas fields. A short timo
later It be< atne public that Mr. Schwab
proposed using Texas ores to mix with
his other ores in the manufacturi of
steel at his Hethlehein plant, and
would ship ore througi Port Hollvar. j
Simultaneously it was announced that
the Santa Fe Railroad would build in-
to the ore tie Ids In Rusk and Chero-
kee counties from Lougvlew, thus giv-
ing a short lino to Port Bolivar from
the ore fields.
There is a general belief that the de-
velopment of the Texas ore fields will
he greater than the mere taking of
the ore to the Pennsylvania smelters
for preparation for the mills.
The Carnegie Steel Company offici-
als admit that the railmaking industry
is drifting westward and south west-
ward to where the greatest activity
is to ho found, that the rail-making
K. lis of the uurt will go to tin rail-
roads Instead of having the rallioadii
come to the mills for rails. This would
Indicate that the development "f Tex-
as ore lands will be to the extent of
bringing tho steel manufacturing
plants to clos-e proximity with the raw
prodm t.
