 Mr. Jackling's visit to New York at this time is presumably associat- ed with the copper industry, which ranks in magnitude second only to the steel industry of the United States He comes with very high authority. Tn the offices which tho Guggenhelms have established on the upper floor of the Equitable Building his name is mentioned with respect and his achievements arc spoken of with ad- miration There have been rumors romantic and almost sensational that have represented Mir Jackling as having been at the beginning of his career almost O day laborer in the mines of the far West and having at night supplemented his daily toll with the study of chemistry and mettallur- gy
 He may have wheeled O barrow or swung Q pick in his early days. but it was not because he was driven by extremity to do that. For he is one of the somewhat rare number of those who have served as professors or teachers who have quilted the pro- fessorship chair to take up practical work along the lines which they ex- pounded as teachers. He stood high in technical school in Missouri. being competent to teach in chemistry. met allurgy and mining.
 He want from the instructors room in a manner similar to that which characterized the departure of Julius Kruttschnitt from the institute where he taught to take up O practical ser vice under c. P. Huntington. Mr. lacking was at first identified with the development Of gold mine in Utah and that as recently as 1892
 Demonstrated He Wac Right
 There were many experts and al- most an of the capitalists who looked at the property who were persuaded that certain mountain in Utah. near Salt Lake City, could not be made to yield its deposits Of copper to com mercial advantage. These were the men. or some of them. to whom Mir. lJacHing referred when he said that timid souls are unable to stand up and face Encouragement which min ing men accept as part Of their business.
 Mir. Jackling was only a little past 30 years of age when he stood face to face with the Utah mountain and worked out a plan which he was con. vinced would compel that mountain to yield it's copper to commercial ad- vantage. He heard the predictions of many men that the orc in that mountain was too low to be worked at profit. He was persuaded that these men were wrong, and it did not take long time for him to demon strate that he was right.
 His name always win be Identified with the opening up of this great Utah copper property. It has some times been said that this was au achievement sufficient for any one man to compass, but Mir. Jackling ven tured to develop another great cop ! per property in Arizona, the Ray Con- solidated and still another, the Chino in New Mexico, and also certain cop tper properties in Nevada. These are all of comparatively recent develop ment, but of such high development that these copper properties in three states are now milling 21,000,O00 tons Q year. and to such commercial ed vantage that the properties have not a dollar Of indebtedness.
 Therefore it properly may be said that AIr. Jackling is identified wiht the really marvellous development of the copper industry in the United States. and certainly fig of equal rank in that industry with John D. Ryan
