result of Mr.. Jackling's visit. He did
introduce one or two alterations In
the cyaniding plant which are still In
effect; but he acquired the habit of
slipping over to Col. E. A. Wallis es-
tate at bingham and fooling with the
worthless porphyry in the side hill.
1t may be a good thing for all of
us that Jackling spends more time
at Bingham than at Mercur. Sup
pose he had done to gold production
what he has done to the copper In

1t took lacking six years to work
out a plan for the treatment OF the
Bingham disseminated copper ore,
secure the capital needed and demon
strate with a 300-ton mill the FEAST
bility of his scheme. Six years Is not
a long time when you look back at
1t, but 1t Is a good while for a young
man under 80 to stick to one idea
which, after all, was only theoreti-
cally practicable. Such perseverance
indicates either mulish obstinacy or
sublime self confidence. With this
young man it was self confidence.
Everyone around him probably
had a doubt. He as not guessing:
he knew.
Here is a man who Is absolutely
sure of himself. His range is not
wide, but within 1t his vision pierces
straight to the heart of the thing.
His business interests are many, but
they all bear upon or, rather, grow
out from, one stem.
From his biographers we learn
that he is vice president and general
manager of the Utah Copper Co. and
of the Ray Consolidated; a director
of the Nevada Consolidated Copper
company, the Nevada Northern rail-
road, the w. S. Mccormick Banking
company, the United States Sugar &
Land company, the Salt Lake Securi-
ty & Trust company. the Utah Fire
Clay company, the Garfield Banking
president of the Salt Lake
Herald-Republican Publishing COM
pany, president of the Alta Club of
Salt Lake City; member of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Utah Hotel
company; vice chairman of the Utah
commission for the Alaska-Yukon-
exposition; general inspector
of target practice, with the rank of
colonel, on the staff of the governor
of Utah, and a member of the Ameri-
Institute of Mining Engineers.
With a few exceptions all the po-
enumerated belong in the
of a modern copper mag
nate. Take the newspaper and politi-
cal connections for example, Mr..
Jackling's Colorado employers were
In the forefront on the mine owners
side during the Cripple Creek strike.
The value of a friendly governor and

Colorado.
When Mr.. Jackling purchased the
Salt Lake Herald from Senator w. A.
clark, consolidated 1t with the In

republican paper of it, 1t was limited
