This is a tin ingot from the Temescal Tin Mining Company. It measures nearly 4" x 0.75" and weighs 7.68 troy oz. It is stamped TEMESCAL on the top and engraved in script: RIVERSIDE, CALIF. Samuel C. Evans was President of the Riverside Land and Irrigating Company. Evans’ company became the full owner of the San Jacinto Tin Company when William Alvord, at the 17 September 1885 meeting of the Tin Company’s Board of Directors, made the motion that a quitclaim deed be executed in favor of the Riverside Land and Irrigating Company, thus amending the original Deed of Conveyance. This land extended roughly from Arlington to Temescal Wash. Evans, one of the most prominent men of Riverside, spent over fifteen years of an active business life in conducting some of the largest business enterprises in the colony. One such business was the Riverside Land and Irrigation Company. He came to Riverside in 1874 and purchased a half interest in nearly 10,000 acres of land, known as the Hartshorn tract. The land is now known as the Arlington part of Riverside and Arlington Heights. Captain W. T. Sayward, of San Francisco, was the owner of the other half. These gentlemen in the same year commenced the construction of what is known as the lower canal, for the irrigation of their lands lying in the valley, and also the Temescal or Tin Company`s tract, which they had purchased, after spending large sums of money and meeting a strong opposition from the Southern California Colony Association, whose lands occupied the valley north of theirs. -61561
