It was Daniel Jackling's idea to mass-produce low-grade copper with steam shovels and trains. The start-up of open-cut mining took place in 1906. Its success made the site the richest on earth. The story of the Bingham Canyon Mine is about constant movement and change, innovations, and improvements. Mining techniques were always improving; steam shovels and trains were converted to electric, then to diesel locomotives, and later to large mining trucks and conveyor systems. The mine expanded, and the work created the largest excavation on earth, one of the few man-made structures that can be seen from space. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTim Dumas loves the history of Bingham Canyon, and his motto is \"Keep Bingham's history alive.\" His first book, \u003cem\u003eBingham Canyon\u003c\/em\u003e, takes the reader on a trip up Bingham Canyon and highlights each community that once filled this now buried canyon.
