An eight-foot bronze statue of Col. Daniel C. Jackling, founder of the Utah Copper Co. and internationally inter-nationally knoTi mining engineer and industrialist, will be placed in the rotunda of the Utah State Capitol building early this summer. The statue is being created by Dr. Avard Fairbanks, noted sculptor sculp-tor who heads the University of Utah School of Fine Arts, under a commission from the Sons of Utah Pioneers Jackling Memorial Committee. Directors of Kennecott Copper Corp. appropriated $35,000 for the statue. The statue will honor the man whose vision made possible the development of one of the world's largest copper mines at a time when experienced mining men said ore of such low ffrade could not be mined profitably. Col. Jackling 50 years ago developed theories of mass mining and processing that are used throughout the world today. In addition to founding Utah Copper Co., Col. Jackling had an important role in the operation of; Nevada Consolidated Copper Co., Ray Consolidated Copper Co.,. 1 Chino Copper Co., and many other mining and industrial corporations. He retired as an officer and director direc-tor of most of the corporations in 1924, and now lives in the San Francisco area. Dr. Fairbanks made two trips to Col. Jackling's home to make a bust and small statue of him and to study the personality of the pio-neer pio-neer mining engineer and industrialist. |
