Clement, the Noted Mining Engineer. VICTOR M. CLEMENT, the world-famous world-famous mining engineer, of this city, with a remarkable career, died yesterday morning in Saltillo, Mexico, according to a message received re-ceived by The Herald yesterday afternoon. after-noon. Death followed a serious abdominal ab-dominal operation which he underwent a few days ago. The nature of the operation op-eration is not known here, as' none of the messages have given any information informa-tion on that point, but it is supposed to have been appendicitis. Before he left this city, nearly two months ago, Mr. Clement had a severe attack of la grippe and was confined to his bed for a time, but it was supposed that he was in perfect health when he left. The first intimation of his illness came Saturday afternoon, when Duncan Mc-Vichie Mc-Vichie received a telegram from Mrs. Clement. The message was as follows: fol-lows: "Mr. Clement underwent serious abdominal ab-dominal operation. He is resting well. Tell friends. "F. L. CLEMENT." -From the tone of this message it was not supposed that Mr. Clement was in any serious condition. Yesterday Mr. McVichie received another message, announcing the death of the mining man at 7 o'clock yesterday morning. This telegram and a similar one received re-ceived by The Herald were signed by R. C. Gemmell, former state engineer of Utah and recently Mr. Clement's chief engineer In charge of his Mexico Droperties. Figured in Jamieson Raid. The sudden death of Mr. Clement marks the passing of one who as an authority on mining matters was ranked among the foremost- in the world. He was known around the globe for his ability. He has experted mines in almost every part of both continents, and has been prominently identified with many big mining ventures. ven-tures. In England he was known as well or perhaps better than he was in most rarts of this country. His word has long been considered the. highest authority on matters pertaining to mining engineering. It has been said of him that on his word alone he could raise more money on a mining proposition propo-sition than any other man iH the world. He was a close friend of John Hays Hammond and went through the Jamieson raid tn soutn Airica wuu him, barely escaping being executed with other prisoners taken by the Sg.uth African government. Mr. Clement was of American nativity. nativ-ity. He was born in California about forty-eight years ago. His father was American and his mother partly Spanish. Span-ish. His early education was secured at the University of California at Berkeley. He turned his attention to mining engineering and made an enviable envi-able record in that line at school. He completed his course with highest honors hon-ors and soon became engaged in active work along the line of his chosen profession. pro-fession. With, fearlessness, determination determina-tion and grit, which were character-, istic of the man, coupled with ability, he forged to the front ranks in a short time.' It was not long before Victor Clement's word became authority on matters of his profession. , At an early day, when the lead properties prop-erties in the Coeur d'Alene country were being developed, Mr. Clement became be-came actively engaged in the' work there. He was prominently identified with the operation of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan properties as manager. Later on Mr. Clement became associated asso-ciated with John Hays Hammond and went to South Africa. . There he was identified prominently with the development devel-opment of the famous Rand mine. It was he who planned the great mills for reducing that ore. He was also prominent promi-nent in the development of other properties prop-erties in that section of the dark continent. con-tinent. He was there at the time of the Jamieson raid. It will be remembered remem-bered that there was a scheme on foot among the Englishmen interested in the mines of that country to overthrow the South African government. A great raid was commenced, but the Boer government effectually blocked this and captured many who were supposed sup-posed to have been more or less directly di-rectly implicated in the affair. Mr. Clement, Mr. Hammond and Charles Butters, who were connected with the mines as engineers and experts for the English, were taken prisoners because their positions drew suspicion on them. They and many others were held in the African prisons for a long lime and finally condemned to die. A short time before the date for the executions the United States section of the Association Asso-ciation of Mining Engineers, with a membership throughout the world, sent out circular letters to the members, asking each one to prevail upon the senafor of his state to intercede in behalf be-half of the American prisoners who were to be killed. This was done and the senators, through the government, took steps to save the prisoners. The result was that the American citizens who had been captured were released. It was this settlement that saved Mr. Clement from being shot. "West to Siberia. After being released Mr. Clement came back to this country, but later returned to London, where he remained for some time. He was engaged in mining min-ing engineering there and became known for his ability as an expert throughout Great Britain. His reputation reputa-tion was such that he was called upon to go into Siberia and look into the mines of that country. He made the trip through that section, examining the mines, but nothing of special importance im-portance ever resuited from the investigation. inves-tigation. When Mr. Clement returned to this country he became engaged with Captain Cap-tain J. R. De Lamar. He remained with him as manager of his properties for about six months. For the past three years Mr. Clement has been giving most of his attention to extensive mining properties which he acquired in the vicinity of Saltillo, Mexico. He had very valuable mining interests there, but it is understood that shortly before his death he disposed dis-posed of the greater portion of his interests to the Guggenheim Exploration Explora-tion company. He was also interested very heavily in mining ventures, local securities and industrial stocks in this city. It was understood that after the sale of his Mexican properties he intended in-tended to begin more extensive operations opera-tions here and devote more of his time to his local interests. Only a short time before he left here the last time he remarked, in the course of a conversation con-versation with a friend, that he liked Salt Lake as a residence place better than any city he had ever been in, and that he had greatplans for the future in local investments and . improvements. improve-ments. Only a year ago Mr. Clement was made a handsome offer to return to South Africa to manage a mine there, but he refused on account of his Mexican and local interests. Wife is Well Known. ' Mr. Clement married in California about ten years ago. His wife is a Wisconsin girl. For several years past they have made, their home in this city, where they have many friends. Mrs. , Clement is prominent in society circles. cir-cles. ' ": i Mr. Clement left here about March j 5 on his last trip and took his wife with j him. She was always a faithful com- panion, going with, him wherever ne might be called "upon to go. He was fond of hunting and fishing, but apparr j ently no more so : than his wife, who was wont to shoulder a gun or rod j and enjoy the sport with her husband. Mr. Clement has always been known for his absolute fearlessness, and a lion hunt which he indulged in in South Africa is used to illustrate his courage. He- had been anxious to kill one of the king of beasts. On one occasion, when alone in the wild jungles, he spied . a big lion coming, over a ridge a short distance in front , of him. Without a thought of his danger he raised his gun and fired. Then, as he expressed it to a friend in later years, he "waited un- j til the smoke cleared away to see what was going to happen next." ; The. lion j had disappeared .when the smoke was gone, and when .he walked over the ridge he found the beast lying dead. The skin made Into a rug is a trophy that now graces the Brigham street residence of the deceased. Word has not been received from Mexico as to what disposition will be made of the remains, but it is supposed sup-posed that they will be brought here for interment. Mr. Clement's death was the result of blood poisoning resulting from an operation op-eration for tumor. He was taken sick at the mines April 17. IC became evident evi-dent that he would have to undergo an operation, and on the 20th of April Mrs. Clement took him to Saltillo. On April 24 the operation was performed and a malignant tumor which obstructed the bomels was found. This was removed, but blood poisoning set in and caused his death. |
