034 The Fabulous Jackling Presentation Pick | Daniel C. Jackling was a well known mining executive who organized the Utah Copper Company. In 1898, Jackling and Robert C. Gemmell made a detailed examination of the Bingham Canyon copper property. They recommended open pit mining, using steam shovels to load railroad cars, a novel idea at the time. In 1903, Jackling organized the Utah Copper Company to put his plan into action. The mine proved to be profitable, and open-pit mining of low-grade copper deposits came to dominate the industry by mid-century. | Original Image |
