Lot of 2 different. Both are unissued, but have corporate signatures incl. Fred Clark, Edward Clark, (likely related to William A. Clark) and Lloyd Tevis. Lloyd Tevis (1824-1899) started the Pacific Union Express Company in 1868 along with D.O. Mills, Leland Stanford, Mark Hopkins and Charles Crocker. The company operated the route between Reno and Virginia City, Nevada, and immediately got express privileges from the Central Pacific Railroad (Loomis, Wells Fargo). In 1869, the Tevis group started accumulating shares of Wells Fargo after it had declined in price. After obtaining the controlling interest in Wells Fargo, the Pacific Union Express was consolidated into the company in 1870 (Loomis). Tevis was named president of Wells Fargo in 1872 and was president of the company for 20 years. Tevis made millions from his investments in the Homestake and along with Haggin, Hearst and Marcus Daly owned the great Anaconda mine in Montana. Tevis also had other ventures in California including the California Steam Navigation Company and the Pacific Ice Company. 1) Highland Mining Company.
