WELL KNOWN IN UTAH.
Lloyd Tevis' Death Fills Many
Hearts With Sorrow.

The news of Lloyd Tevis' death will
cause profound sorrow in Utah, as he
has been identified with some of the
states greatest enterprises, and his
friends in this community were num-
bered by the score. He was president
of the great Ontario company and a
heavy owner in the DAILY and DAILY
West, as we'll as being a co-owner with
Senator r. g. Chambers and the late
George Hearst in many other Utah
properties. He was also one of the
owners of the Homestake and Highland
mines at Deadwood, and the Anaconda
at Butte, having sold his interests in
the latter property a few weeks ago.
He was a partner of J. B. Haggin and
George Hearst in all of the mining ven
lures financed and promoted by them.
and this trio of daring spirits did more
to develop the mining resources of the
west than any other three men.
Tevis and Mr.. Hagan acquired extern
sive land interests In Kern county,
Cal, and spent several millions of dol
lars in building canals and reclaiming
the lands. They gave employment to
several hundred men in this work and
made the desert blossom as the rose"
Mr.. Tevis was a Democrat in politics,
and eXerted great political influence in
San Francisco, no matter what party
v-cS in power.
The news of Mr.. Tevis' death was a
great shock to Senator Chambers, who
has been his close business associate
for twenty-eight years. Senator Cham
bers pays a high tribute to the charac-
ter of his deceased friend. When he
left Mr. Tevis on the 5th of the present
month. he was well and hearty, and
the senator had not heard of his ILL
ness

Thomas, evidently fearing the compact
