Daniel C Jackling, Bingham Canyon Utah

Daniel C Jackling would be considered as, the “Father of open-pit mining”. Pioneering the idea to use large steam shovels and trains to mass produce low grade copper, and founder of Utah Copper Company. He was born August 14, 1869, near Appleton City Missouri. Jackling had an interesting life, orphan at two, B S degree at Missouri University of Science and Technology. Was an assistant professor, helped developed cyanide process for extracting gold for Joseph DeLamar at his Golden Gate mill. Own a house on South Temple, moved to San Francisco, leased top floor Saint Francis hotel, bought a 200-acre estate San Mateo, Woodside California, what Steve Jobs purchased and lived in. Jackling owned his own train cars and a yacht all named Cyprus. Correction Steve Jobs won his court case to demolish the Woodside home in 2009 not 1909 as I stated.
