TOM FITCH.
And Now He Has the Biggest
Mine in the World,

Keno Gazette: lhe east-bound over
land train on Monday carried Hon.
Thomas Fitch and wife, who are en-
route to Denver, where Mr.. Fitch is TO
speak on tree coinage before the
Board of Trade. Mr.. Fitch has had a
turn OF the wheel and is partner in
property which is likely to make him
IA second Monte Crlsto. He and his
associates have found immense treas
ures on an island in the Pacific, nine
miles from the Mexican coast, which
promises 10 show up the greatest de-
posit of gold ever known.
The island is twenty miles long and
from three 10 ten miles wide. 1t rises
10 a hight of 1000 feet and is a
broken mass of rocks pushed up from
the ocean by volcanic action, so rough
that access 10 parts of it is next to i'm.
possible, and trip across ii could not
be made by anything but bird. There
is 40 water except in some mineral
springs. Rising from the sea is "A
diorlte wall which is cleft in one place
so as 10 lorn passage through and
reveal second wall 400 feet beyond.
Between these two the whole body of
soft broken material will show II color
whenever tr.ed, and pockets of great
richness are found. From one which
has not yet been opened further than
to take out 1900 tons of ore off the
top, $40 tou was cleared, giving the
company $175,000, which is being
spent in laying out roads, running four
tunnels, building ships, boarding
houses, etc., and in preparatory work
generally.
A strange discovery was made in
the shape Of bed of white sand
which ran along the top Of the noun
tain in level streak. 1t proves to be
a quartz ledge which has been puiver-
lied by the intense heat until it is as
fine as if run through a battery of
stamps 1t assays from one to fifty
ounces of gold, worth nearly $40 an
ounce. 1t is three feet thick on the
surface, but dips downward soon and
widens to eight feet. Scattered through
it are specimens of quartz which lid
not melt and which are not "lousy"
with gold, hut are plated with it. One
sample weighed 80 pounds and it had
at least $500 worth of gold on its out
side, to say nothing of what is no doubt
scattered through 1t. The company
have an exclusive franchise to mine for
ten years on the island and talk of a
200 stamp mill. In the meantime the
company have to ship ore away to be
worked and have sent big lot to Pue-
bio, Colorado. If Reno had reduction
works it could get some work from it
If the railroad rates could be lowered
some.
BY the way, Mr.. Fitch won the
Examiners prize en- the population of
Reno. He put it in at 1867, which was
within four of it.
