UTAH COPPER
MANAGER BACK
D. c. lacking Declares He Has
No Intention of Leaving

PlNAL CO. COPPER MINES
DESTINED TO BE BIGGEST IN

PINAL co. COPPER MINES

D. c. JackIing, general manager of
the Utah Copper company, returned
from his trip to California and Ari-
IONA Sunday night. and was at his
desk again yesterday cleaning up cor
and other matters Of bus
mess that had accumulated during his
absence
THE impression given out in Los
Angeles that I intended to leave Salt
Lake and make my home there. said
Mr.. Jacklin. lis all nonsense. While
consider Los Angeles a beautiful city
and IN many ways desirable place to
live in, I am perfectly content right
here in Salt Lake, and here ] expect to
remain for a long time to come My
association with the syndicate that has
purchased the Cavanaugh and Ray
properties is not such as TO necessitate
my removal from here, nor win it in
any manner interfere with my other
business affairs. The operation and
equipment of the properties mentioned
will likely devolve largely upon Philip
Wiseman. 5. W. Mudd and myself, but
shall act more in an advisory capa-
city than otherwise. so that my time
will not be largely encroached upon"
The talk of moving to Los Angeles
came up, Mr.. lacking explained after
a reporter had been given a statement
touching the details of the Arizona
proposition and when all hands were
passing compliments on Los Angeles.
There was nothing said in a serious
vein. and both Messrs. Jackling and
MacNeill were surprised that any ref
erence TO the jollying had appeared in
print
Concerning the deal for the mines,
Mr.. Jackling said it was one that was
fully rounded out during his absence in
the east early in the year. No formal
statement of the transaction had been
previously given out, and, owing to the
many rumors and unreliable references
to the sale of the properties that had
been going the rounds, it was felt that
it would be just as well to let the
public have the straight of it.
The properties, Mr.. lacking de-
clares, have in them the making of the
biggest copper propositions in the
world, and he SAYS it with all due al
lowance for the vastness and worth ot
the Bingham and Ely deposits. The
two properties cover the deposit for &
| length of over four miles and for ar
average width of exceeding one-halt
mile. For over two miles in length the
deposits have been opened by g chair
of shafts. The sulphides come yer.
close to the surface at points, and IL
most respects resemble the deposits o.
Bingham and. Ely, though the miner
illogical and geological characteristics
are different. Across the range in {
! southwesterly direction the propertie:
are only twenty or twenty-five mile:
from Globe. They are six miles from
the ella river and the main line Of thu
Southern Pacific railroad; they ar,
connected with a branch road, and run
ming through the district is a stream
fully as large as the Big Cottonwoo,
canyon creek here. Mr.. Jackling see
where it is going to be a simple prob
| lem to build mills and operate tn
mines on a scale commensurate witt
| the magnitude of the mines, and tili
will be done as rapidly as such mat
| tiers can be.
Adjoining the properties acquired 81
the east are 1000 acres of PRACTICAL.
the same character of ground that j
owned and being developed by w.
Durham of Los Angeles. and wei
known in mining circles here. MI
Jackling states that Billy Dunbar
stands to make an immense forum
out of his holdings IN Pinal county.
