(now Utah Copper Division, Kennecott Copper Corp.) died Tuesday at 7 p.m. in Woodside, Calif. He was 86 years old. Col. Jackling became ill last Christmas, suffering from circulatory ailments. He has been living for the past several years at Woodside, on the peninsula south of San Francisco. The internationally known mining engineer and industrial-ist held numerous awards for achievement in mining and engineering and was credited with pioneering and developing the processing of low-grade porphyry copper ores. This monumental work today is responsible for more than 60 per cent of the world’s copper production. Without his contribution, the famed Bingham Canyon copper mine and other low-grade copper deposit properties throughout the world would possible have lain dormant for years during a period when the world badly needed the red metal.

Later, as a farm hand, he earned $14 per month, the most of which he saved. His ambition then was to own farm land. In order to prepare himself for a teaching job to save enough to purchase land, he enrolled at the State Normal School at Warrensburg, Mo.
