Jackling was honored with numerous professional awards, including the Washington Award from the Western Society of Engineers for "pioneering in large-scale mining and treatment of low-grade copper ores, releasing vast resources from formerly worthless deposits."[2] Jackling received the Distinguished Service Medal from President Woodrow Wilson in 1919 for directing the U.S. government explosives plants, like the one at Nitro, West Virginia, during World War I.[1]: 97–98 [3]
His collected papers were given to the Stanford University Library.[4]

Awards and recognition
The Daniel C. Jackling Award, established in 1953, is presented annually by the Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration (SME) for "significant contributions to technical progress in mining, geology, and geophysics".[6]
"His statue was placed in the rotunda of the Utah State Capitol in 1954."[1]: 98
The outdoor football stadium on the campus of Jackling's alma mater, now the Missouri University of Science and Technology, was named Jackling Field from its opening in 1967 until it was renamed Allgood–Bailey Stadium in 2000. The field itself retains Jackling's name.[7] An original Jackling Field hosted football games elsewhere on the campus from 1915 to 1966; Jackling contributed $5000 for its construction.[8]
The Jackling House
The
In 1984, Steve Jobs purchased the 17,000 sq ft (1,600 m2) property and lived in it for ten years. After that, he rented it out for a time, and in 2000, he stopped maintaining it. In 2004, Jobs stirred Woodside preservationist controversy by applying for a permit to tear the historic landmark down to build a smaller house. A judge ruled against demolition in early 2006. Jobs appealed the decision. In April 2007, the California State Supreme Court refused to hear the Jobs appeal, which meant he could not raze the house. Nonetheless, Jobs won approval to demolish the Jackling House from the Woodside Town Council on May 13, 2009.[9]
On April 29, 2010, the architectural-historical preservationists group Uphold Our Heritage appealed the March court decision to allow the Woodside Town Council to issue a demolition permit, submitted by the group's attorney Doug Carstens. The appeal put an "automatic stay" on the issuance of demolition permits. "If that (Yoho family relocation permits) works out, and it looks like there's a lot of promise to that working out, then it won't be necessary to pursue the appeal," he said. "We've always been in favor of relocation and restoration." "We respectfully disagree with the court's decision, and we have all along." Carstens said.[10]
The house was demolished in February 2011.
