SHEBA R. EVA
	Sheba R. Eva has traveled over a great portion of the United
States and Canada, as well as in England.  He has a large experience
in various walks of the world and being a man of practical ideas, has 
gained much to make him successful in the battle of life.
	Sheba R. Eva was born in Cornwall, England, on March 31, 1862,
the son of Joseph and Elizabeth (Reed) Eva, natives of England, where
the mother still lives, the father having passed away in 1879.  The 
family is one of the oldest on the record, being able to trace their
ancestors on the mother's side in direct line to William the Conquerer.
Our subject was one of thirteen children, eight of whom are still living,
as follows: Joseph, Josiah, Elizabeth, Ephraim, Richard, Sheba, Annie,
and Margret J.  In the district school at Wheal Ruby, Sheba R. received 
his education and at the early age of eleven took up mail carrying,
being the youngest one to occupy that responsible position.  After that
he learned the carpenter trade and followed it in England until he was 
twenty-one, when he came to the New England States.  In 1889 he went 
thence to Seattle and in that city, Portland, Astoria and various other
places, wrought at his trade with good success.  In the fall of 1893 he
went to British Columbia and later returned to the Big Bend country.  
In 1901 he prospected on the south half and now has some claims adjoining
the Gold Mountain, which show high values, assays running as high as
one hundred and fifty dollars per ton.  He has a quarter section of 
land where he now lives and does general farming, together with mining
and contracting in building.
	In April, 1903, Mr. Eva married Mrs. Annie Phillips, who has five
children by her former husband, George, Elizabeth, Winefred E., Joesph W.,
and Sheba L.  Politically Mr. Eva is allied with the Republicans and takes
a good interest in the questions of the day.  Mr. Eva is a member of the
Episcopalian church.
