However, Jackling formed the Utah Copper Company and, under great criticism, “Jackling’s Folly” was underway. Jackling built an enormous mill that recovered copper so cheaply, it was hailed throughout the industry as a revolutionary achievement. To further increase profits, he used steam shovels, making Bingham Canyon the first copper mine in the U.S. to use them. He revolutionized all of mining in regard to low-grade ores; he developed open-pit mining; he used railroad cars for cheap transportation of materials; he used flotation as soon as that method of concentrating became available. His phenomenal enterprises at such properties as Bingham Canyon, Chino and Ray proved to the world that Daniel Jackling was indeed the “Father of the Porphyries,” and he was awarded the highest honors the engineering profession can give.” from mininghalloffame.org/inductee/jacklingGeff Pollock Collection Est. $150-300 HWAC# 105075 264 July 2019 Americana Auction
