man More men are employed on that
one property. cutting out that ore and
treating IT, than live in the town of
Appleton City. Mo. where lacking
was born. More men are employed on
that one property than live In ten
towns of the size Of Appleton City.
There Is not another copper. silver
or gold mine in the world operated as
is that one. Jackling is stripping the
face from the mountain. Tunnel work
is practically at an end Terrace at
ter terrace rises up the mountain
side. Along these terraces locomo-
tfves and trains of cars travel night
and day. and great steam shovels. by
draulic drills and other instruments of
mine work are busy. More than TWEEN
ty locomotives are engaged dragging
ore down as IL is torn from these
terraces. The mountain is high. wide
and deep. but IT Will be removed from
tho face of the earth when the opera
tons of this company are completed.
When Daniel C. Jackling made the
suggestion to his friends in Canyon
City to get possession of that mine In
Utah he had just $500 in the world. To-
day he has a million several times
over. Mcneil. one of the two young

Company. Penrose is another of the
mine officials. They have become i'm

ma sters of the smelling industry OF
the United States. seeing what a rich
field lacking had opened up, put 49,;
10000 into the company. They
brought in, too, their famous expert,
Mr.. Hammond. But they have no con-
trolling voice in the management of
the property. lacking and his friends

The only mining operations in the
world that are on a system anything
like that which lacking has intro
duced are in the iron belt of Michigan
There the mountain is stripped of its
iron ore just as lacking strips the
Utah Companys mountain of It's cop
per- silver and gold ore The work
he has done in Bingham Canyon has
had a good deal to do with the devel-
opment that since has been seen in
the Nevada. the Chino and Ray prop
critics.
To a person who goes and sees the
operations on the Utah Copper Com
pany's great property II looks more
like the building of the Panama Canal
than mining undertaking. There are
from twenty to thirty terraces on TINS
mountain itself being dug out blasted
out carved out cut out. Quarried, ana
simply carted away to be turned INTO
metal which means money. and money
in volume such as never came from
low grade ore before.
To Jackling will stand the honor, OF
working revolution in the handling
of low grade ores. He gets the credit
through what he has done In this
mine alone Of bringing into use and
into the worlds work hundreds OF mil
lions of dollars. because shat IT what
this great ore deposit will ultimately
represent.
Nobody need think he can get in on

are S15.00o.000 of securities issued
against the property to-day and they

work of man who had only $500 in
the world seven or eight years. ago.

The metallursical libraries give a long
