W. , Engleman, superintendent of the Magna company mill - Colonel Jackling was the originator origina-tor of the idea of opencut copper mining for the vast deposits of low , grade metal ore found here which , has resulted in the Utah Copper ! operations in Bingham. It was his . vision and long struggle to interest . capitalists in the project that made , Bingham a metal mining center re-, re-, nowned throughout the world, i The trip here, one of periodic inspections in-spections of the company officials, WW was made after conclusion of a fishing trip that took them and relatives rela-tives of Col. Jackling to Trude, Idaho Ida-ho and through Yellowstone and Teton national parks. New Copper Uses In a recent interview Col. Jackling Jack-ling described two important new domestic uses of copper: in manufacture manu-facture of air-conditioning equipment, equip-ment, and as an alloy in the production pro-duction of steel. These new developments develop-ments will absorb the domestic production of copper and offset the collapse of the foreign market. Air conditioning is a comparatively new industry and the use of copper in both structural parts and electrical equipment will supply an increasingly increas-ingly large market for copper. Originally designed to create proper pro-per atmospheric conditions for cer-jtain cer-jtain industries, air-conditioning in stallation demands as a convenience in the home are increasing, and the use of copper in manufacture make it one of the most important of the new uses of the metaL Copper as Alloy Colonel Jackling predict the use of copper as a part of high grade steel within a few years, as its use as an alloy permits a product pro-duct of greatest tensel strength with a decrease of 10-15 per cent in dead weight At the present price of 9 and three-quarter cents a pound all the copper which can be profitably mined is now being produced. Millions Mil-lions of tons of ore are available that could be mined in the neighborhood neigh-borhood of 13 cents a pound. African, Canadian and South American metal mines have taKen over supply of copper for the balance bal-ance of the world. |
