Daniel Cowan Jackling '92 World renowned Mining and Metallurgical Engineer, Eminent Business Executive and Benefactor. The marking of his 85th birthday and 50th anniversary of the Utah Copper Company, which he founded, was observed at Salt Lake City, Utah.

D. C. Jackling Built Copper Mining Em pire of Astounding Scope in Last Half Century

UGUST 14, 1954 marked the 85th birthday of Daniel C. Jackling and the 50th anniversary of the first shipment of ore to the original Copper ton mill, the forerunner of the Utah Copper Company, which h e founded. It sounds simple . In 1887 copper was discover ed in Bingham Canyon . In 1903 the Utah Copper Company was born. It was r eorgan ized in 1904. By 1908 surface mining was well a dvanced a nd by 1910 underground operations ceased. Today , after a h a lf-century of operation, they're still scooping copper out of the hill. It's as simple as that-until you take a closer look . This isn't just a mine . It's mining history. The genius of a young engineer, D. C. Jackling, in developing methods of mining and processing low grade ores, made Utah Copper and changed mining procedures over the world. His skill as a metallurgist, his ability as a n organizer a nd ex ecutive , his vision and his tremendous e n ergy turned a mountain you can see from Salt Lake City into the greatest single copper producer in the world. It produces today, and has for many yea rs, approximately 30 per cent of a ll n ew U. S. copper r e quirem ents. Officially, it is the Utah Copper Division , Kenn ecott Copper Corporation. This h as often been called the " Jackling Enterprise " . But of e qual if not greater interest is consideration of the factors which built a mining empire of asto unding financial and operating solidarity at the time of Mr. Jackling's retirement. Sought Technical Education The r eader's indulgence is hoped for if an erron e ous notion concerning Mr. J acklin g's e arly aspirations is corrected herewith . It ha s been sa id by the uninforme d that when he was 19 his educational ambitions were to qualify himself for teaching in public schools . Th e facts are that after a year at the Missouri State Normal School, he was inspired by an engin eer graduate of the Misso uri School of Mines to seek a technical education at the same institution. H e 2

had worked as a farm hand and saved enough money for his first year at the Normal and his first year at the School of Mines . His second and third years at the School of Mines , up to his graduation were "pretty tough sl edding" , but h e m a naged through vacation work and odd jobs during school sessions to pay his way for the second year at Rolla. During the third year he was made ass istant to the professor of chemistry and metallurgy. During the summer of his graduation the professor of chemistry died and Jackling was put in charge of the d epartment at the opening of the 1892-93 school term . Saved From Small Pay His salary as assistant for one year prior to graduation and for one school year thereafter was $40 to $50 a month . But he saved enough to live on for the last half 1893 (a panic year) looking for a job, without success. During the Christmas holidays of 1893 , he packe d his "total b elongings in a cardboard suitcase" and went to the Cripple Creek district where he obtained immediate employment. From then until his retirement October 1, 1912 he was never without salaried professional engagement. Mr. Jackling's sound technical and m etallurgical foundation was demonstrated at Cripple Creek and at M ercur, Utah, where his revolutionary gold metallurgy, mill construction and application of high potential electricity establishe d a reputation for planning and execution. Changed Mining Methods It' s pretty well known during his M ercur activities his mind turned to the low grade copper d eposit at Bingham. It was within the 1896 to 1900 period that h e first examined and r epo rted favorably on the Uta h Copper d eposit. During the same period the copper production of the world was just abo v e one billion pounds a year. At the time of his retirem ent, the original "Jackling" operations, Utah , Nevada , Ray and Chino , were closely approximating

that figure. When other than operating domestic porphyries using the Jackling methods are conSidered, their total production far exceeded the production of the entire earth during the five-y ear period referred to. With the foreign "porphyries" added, the revolutionary methods he introduced in Utah, primarily in 1898 and 1899, l ed to the conclusion that at no time in history has any other man b een r esponsible, during his lifetime, for such a revolutionary and widespread amplification of the economic d evelopment of any kind of natural resource. Huge Financial Structure The early profitable operations at Bingham, due to sound metallurgy, the adoption of open-cut mining and progressive adoption of improvem e nts, created a financial structure of large proportions requiring sound judgment in the distribution of earnings and r einvestment there-of in plant. Under Jackling there was resistance to excessive declaration of dividends in d efer ence to sound reinvestment of earnings in plant facil ities and the creation of amp le cash reserves. These policies enabled Utah Copper to be prepared to efficiently aid in winning two world wars and to furnish more than 20 per cent of the copper produced in the United States , plus much gold , molybdemite and silver. Buil t Raii Line Another major factor in Utah's progress was Jackling's early decision to build the Bingham and Garfield Railwa y to r eplace inadequate and unpredictable rail service which transported the ore from Bingham to the Arthur and Magna concentrators . Mile for mile this railroad has more traffic than any rail line in the world . From its inception the Utah Copper organization under Jackling's direction was built upon the selection of competent personnel and deserved promotion from the ranks when merited; a mutual loyalty seldom attained in corporate history. Firm but fair d ecision s prevailed and solicitude for personnel was legion. And no bar was placed in the way of Jackling engineers carrying his MSM ALUMNUS

methods to all points of the world . Apropos of loyalty and devotion to operations, it is of interest . to note that when the Kennecott Copper Corp. took control of Utah Copper in 1923 through the exchange of shares, Mr. Jackling, when offered the presidency of Kennecott, declined because he preferred to live and work near the production end 01 the business rather than in New York. His decision to liv e in ~ an Francisco was much the same , to be more equidistant from Utah, Ray , Nevada and Chino , a ll " Jacklin g" operations. Paramount in the success of Utah Copper was its founder 's business relations with all interests in a community in which some segments w er e said to be opposed to mining. Th ere was always complete and cordial cooperation. Much has been written about Jack ling's prescience in connection with Utah Copper enterprise. There is 110 question about it. Furthermore, his complete confidence in the enterprise was d emonstrated by the fact that he held his original interest whereas some w ho took to thelTlselves much credit for the project disposed of their holdings at figures which deprived them of millions of dollars. Nor was his farsightedness limited to Utah . H e was more than 30 years ahead of all others in visualizing the beneficiation of taconite iron oreproducing at the time concentrates of higher grade than most iron ore of the Lake Superior district. And again, he , his assoc iates and their heirs have retained their interests therein, interests involving an original $10 million. Humanity has long been puzzled by unusual prescience. In the case of D aniel Cowan Jackling it is of more than casual interest to recall what a famous religious leader once said to him. Asked by this churchman the question so often askedwhat had moved him to recognize the inherent characteristics of the Utah Copper ore body which were to make it great, in all candor Mr. Jackling replied he did not know, the churchman said: " Providence, my son."

Confers , With Faculty On School Work

RESIDENT ELMER ELLIS of the University of Missouri spent the d a y of September 27th on the ca mpus conferring with D ean Wilson and d epartmental chairmen concerning the work of the School of Mines a nd M e tallurgy and the needs of the various departments. While this was President Ellis' first official visit, he has been on the campus a number of times as speaker on numerous occasions . He is schedule d to address the Alumni Association at the Homecoming Ban-

quet here on October 16th and will speak again at the Parents' Day Banquet on October 30th. Both President Ellis and Dean Wilson referred to the rapidly increasing enrollment in the University, at Columbia and at Rolla and stated that in view of this increasing load, the most crucial problem facing the entire University today is the great need for legislative appropriation both at Columbia and at Rolla. The School of Mines enrollment this year increased 22 per cent over last year a nd further rapid increases are expected in both schools for an indefinite time in the futur e. 3

Statue of D. C.. Jackling In Rotunda of Utah State Capitol

High Tribute Paid to MSM Graduate by People Of Utah for His Great Work in Copper Mining N EVERLASTING MEMORIAL to the genius of Daniel Cowan J ackling was unveile d , August 14, 1954 in the rotunda of the Utah State Capital. This heroic size bronze statu e which took over a year to complete , is one and one-fourth life size or nearly nine fe e t high, and ~eighs about 2000 pounds. Eighty six p er cent of the statue's bronze casting is composed of copper from the Uta h Copper mine a t Bingham. Dr. Avard F a irbanks, the sculptor, revea l ed that after he met Mr . Jackling, his problem was to creat e a statue embodying the veteran engineer's vIsIOn, amazing personal a lertn ess , aggressiveness and d etermination. To convey the rare qualities of a man capabl e of combining far-sighted vision with practical engineerin g and p la nning ability, Dr . F a irbanks place d a set of plans in his righ t hand, symbolic

of the great work he had envisioned ; turned his head' to t h e side, showing his aptitude of viewing the whole mountain range f illed with incalculable wealth of copper . A s Mr . Jackling was a businessman as well as a mining engin eer, Dr. Fairbanks chose to portray him in a business attire-a decision Mr. J ackling a lso concurred in . The memo rial plaque is inscribed as fo llows: DANIEL COWAN JACKLING W or Id r enowned mining and m etallurgical engineer, em in e n t business executive, benefactor and l oyal friend of Utah and its people. Guided by an inspired vision, h e applied a nd developed processes for the beneficiation of l ow-grade porphyritic ores a nd originated copper mmmg methods, r evolutionary in character and on a scale never b e for e a ttempted , r esulting in the production world-wide of new wealth

in the form of precious m etals, copper and other essential minerals in quantities n ever before attained in the history of man. H e assembled t h e now world f amed Utah copper mine in near-by Bingham Canyon a nd in the course of his r esearch imple mented and d eveloped that property from a body of supposedly worthless porphyry rock into the world's largest copper producer of a ll time. His civic services with relation to t he great economic and political projects in which his unerring judgment and masterful direction provided superb lead ership , have l eft their imperishable imprints upon the growth and development of Utah . An e verlasting memorial and outward expression of the love a nd appreciation which the people of Utah enterta in for him , the National Society of the Sons of Utah Pioneer s, with the co-oper ation of the Utah Copper Division of Kennecott Copper Corporation, presents to t h e state of Utah this statue of D an iel Cowan Ja ckling .

Carl Stifel Sends $1,000 to Annual Alumni Fund; Suggests Need for Student Center on Campus ARL G. STIFEL, former President and presently a member of the Alumni Fund Committee , recently forwarded a check for $ 1,000 for the Alumni Fund. Carl was unable to be at Homecoming beca use of a conflict with Father's Day at Culver Military Academy where his two boys are in school, but sent a letter with his check which is quoted in the main as it so well ex presses the thoughts of many Alumni : " My personal m emories of man y happy times with the students a1.' d faculties and townspeople make m e feel I want to do something and I believe everyone of the Alumni wan t to participate according to their ability to make our M. S . M. Alumni Association as outstanding as any in the Country. " Let us all together relive some of our best days thru the generations to come by building a solid foundalion for the Association and Endowment Fund by showing we mean business now and support what we believe in . "Glad to see that you have the Byla ws revised to allow tax-free coritri·· butions for an Annual Alumni Fund,

in lieu of fixed dues and also that you still have the Alumni Endowment Fund to take care of all sizes of pocketbooks . Let's don't overlook anyone and although we'll hope for a higher average I would still w e lcome the $5.00 donor. "As you know, for a long time I have w a nted to advance the alumni program and you will find enclosed a check for $1 ,000.00 which I would like to go into the Endowment Fund, (on the premise that your revised B y-laws are adopted) but on second thought, mabe you'd better put it into the Annual Alumni Fund because as I see it you have definite commitments in the way of scholarships and other needs which YOLl must meet this year. Then if you have any surplus at the end of the year, this , together with any other money, should be put into the Endowment Fund. "We all owe a debt to that old school and there are any number of proj e cts at Rolla to suit the individual's taste but I hope that we can, for the time b eing at least, get back of the Annual Alumni Fund and the Endowment Fund and not spread our shots all over the map.

"We should, however, be thinking about some means of financing a Student Center for I'm sure one is badly needed, with Rolla as crowded as it is. "Please give my best wishes to Curtis and his staff and to the Board of Directors and myoid time pals. Sincerely, Carl G. Stifel "P. S. Please help make my particular hobby-M.S.M.-your hobby. Thanks."

President's Column OUR ACTION in adopting the Revised Bylaws and the amendment to the Trust agreement at the Annual Meeting is to b e commended. Your association can now receive voluntary annual contributions of whatever size the contributor desires. Weare extremely hopeful for the fiscal year 1955 that we can enlarge our membership to 2,200 and, of course, we must average considerably in excess of the old $5 fixed dues if we are to meet our budget requirements of $14 ,500 which you approved. Your approval of this budget is also most commendable, for Freshmen and Sophomore scholarships. To hold our own with other institutions we must henceforth be able to offer more of an attraction for certain selected students to com e to Rolla. It has been extremely pleasant to ha ve worke d with you for the first yea r of my administration and to have obtained the excellent cooper;ltion that I have from all m embers of the Finance Committee, th e Di rectors , and the Local Section Officers . Weare well on the way and with your continued support w e will continue to give valuable assistance to the Missouri School of Mines , its gra duates , industry and scie ntific professions and to our Nation. Again may I say, with the kind of support you have given me it is most pleasant to serve you. Sincer ely , H. S. P ence President

MSM Enrollment 1472, Increase of 22 Per Cent HERE IS A 22 per cent increase in enrollmen t at MSM for the fa ll sem est er. The enrollment totals 1472 for this semester compared with 1202 for the fir st semester last year . As in the last two year s, there was again an increase in the freshman e nrollme nt, with 468 this year compared with 423 last yea r; an increase of 13 per cent. There a r e 372 sophomores enrolled , 292 juniors, 272 seniors, 58 graduates and 15 special and unclassified stud ents. The enrollment indicates the beginning of a long an d steady increase in enrollment for a considerable time to come and as the large freshman a nd sophomore classes work over into jW1ior and senior classes, the enrollment will increase rather sh a r p ly w ithin the next two or three years, after which it will probably l ev el off somewhat.

Homecoming this year ach ieved the goal set. Bigger and better. All of them are grand but this one seemed to be the best. Alumni coming from all parts of the country to r enew old friendships in a setting which brought back many m emories of former years when they were p reparing themselves for a profession which the majority of them are now engaged or have retired from acti ve participation. Officially scheduled ac tivities began October 15th, with the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Alumni Association. President ,Harry Pence '2 1, and eleven of the di rectors and officers were present. They were: C. J. Potter '29 , J . W. Stephens '47, Rex Williams '31 , Eno c: h Needles '14 , Claude Valerius '25, S. Allen Stone '30, Melvin Nick el '38, Paul Dowling '40 , Leon Hershkowitz '41, William Shepard '51 , proxy for William Burgin '40 , and Ike Edwards . Much was accomplished by this group during their official session and a joint session with the facult y departme nt chairmen. At the " Dutch Treat" dinner, Friday evening, seventy-five were present at the Pine Room, Greyhound Bus Depot. Saturday morning, the annual meeting of the Alumni Association was held in the auditorium , Parker Hall, and a very good representation of the membership were in attenda nce . Harry Pence, President of the Association, presided . D ean Curtis Wilson welcomed the group and introduced Acting President of the University of Missouri , Dr. Elmer Ellis , and the chairmen of departments at MSM. The Teller's and Secretary's Re port and the Amended Trust Agreement were read . This amendment was approved by the membership as well as the budget of $14,500 for the 1954-55 fiscal year. President Pence presented Certificates of Merit to Daniel Kennedy '26 and Albert E . Barnard '27. An Honorary Life Membership in the assoSEPTEMBER

ciation was presented to Noel Hubbard , Registrar at MSlVl. Acting President Ellis spoke to the alumni concerning the urgent needs at the School of Mines and Metallurgy and urged their assistance in informing the citizens of Missouri of the funds necessary for the operation of MSM during the n ext biennium. Saturday afternoon, the Miners continued toward our goal, bigger and be tter, by coming from behind in their annual homecoming football game with the Maryville Bearcats, and in the last five minutes of play changed a 13 to 6 trailing score into a 19 to 13 victory. At 7:00 p.m., 200 "Home comers" gathered at the College Inn, Hotel Edwin Long, for the annual banquet. Dr. Albert Schlechten, Chairman of the Metallurgical Engineering Department, preeminent master of ceremonies, contributed to the success of this gathering. The "Open Houses" held by the St. Louis and Ark-La-Tex Sections of the alumni association , entertained throngs of guests. The class, fraternities and oganization reunions were all a success. Those who missed this occasion should have r egr ets but better still, reserve a date in October 1955 now, so you migh t attend the 1955 MSM Homecoming. We hope it too, will be bigger and better.

He has held offices and has been a membe~' of various committees for many years. From 1939 to 1952, he was Executive Vice-President of the Association. Noel Hubbard, Registrar at ' MSM , has given long and necessary service to the alumni. He mothered the association during the lean years and accepted the thankless task and responsibility of the publication of the "MSM Alumnus". along with his regular duties . This Honorary Life Membership is just a small token that can be given Noel for value received for his untiring service to the association. 11

Some other l e tter m en who have shown improvement over last year's play include Don Roth , from Kirkwood, Mo. , and Bob Willia m s, from Harrisburg, Ill. , at end. Jim Shildm ey er, from Glendale, Mo ., J erry McCoy, from Sikeston, Mo., a nd Tom H errick, fr om St. Louis, Mo. , in the line .

Among the backs, Ro ger Feaster , from P a lmyra, Mo. , Bob H a mmon d , from Warrensburg, 1\1[0., and Bob H elm, from Robinson. Ill., have b een showing what they can do. Hammond replaced the injured H elm in the Washington U . game and did a note worthy job. Helm and Feaster both have two years l eft. This insures the Min ers of two hard running backs for a couple of years. Freshm en who look lik e they can play a lot of b a ll with a little more exp erience are, Don Agel'S, a 200 pound plus guard from D eSoto , Mo. , and H erb Smith, from Rolla, a t a ck l e of equal w e ight.

The Miners were tired of b eing push ed around and b eing underrated and prove d in their third gam e of the season that the highly touted Southwest State College team could b e defeated. The Miners placed their first conf e r ence ga m e under their b elt with a 18 to 12 victory . This a lso placed the Miner s in that elite group of t eams who scored the many upse ts the w eekend of October 1 and 2.
