    Occupation:
    Metallurgist, Mine Manager, Chairman of the Board - Phelps Dodge Corporation James Douglas was born in Quebec, Canada, in 1837. He studied medicine, but because of his interest in chemistry, he became involved in metallurgy with Thomas Henry Hunt. Douglas and Hunt are credited with developing the first commercial electrolytic copper refining process.

    As a consultant to the Phelps, Dodge and Company, Douglas was sent to Territorial Arizona to investigate the property of the Detroit Copper Company at Morenci. Upon his return, he reported in favor of the Detroit Copper Company and Phelps Dodge agreed to finance the development of the Morenci Mine. At the same time, he presented the company an option to purchase the Atlanta claim in Bisbee, Cochise County, Arizona. Two years later, the Copper Queen Mine was purchased, and on August 10, 1885, the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining Company was formed.

    From this beginning, Phelps Dodge moved from an import-export company to a major mining company. Douglas served as Manager and Director of the Copper Queen until the company changed its name to Phelps Dodge Corporation in 1917. He then became President and later, Chairman of the Board.

    Dr. Douglas was inducted into the American Mining Hall of Fame in 1983 as an Inductee from Mining's Past. Bio courtesy of Cori Hoag and the Mining Foundation of the Southwest
