CiaefvRut Tribune
A year ago this very month Citizen
Henry Malone, Of Cleveland, was laid
up with the rheumatism, The medical
men finally brought him around and
then ordered him to Mexico, He spent
day in arranging his business affairs,
then started for the land Of flowers and
bad cooking,
To-day he is the third owner OF q
Mexican gold mine, the president OF the
company operating tho mIne, and sole
owner OF a big block Of gold quartz, said
to be worth $4,000
Citizen Malone and his "block Of
goldN spent yesterday at the Burnett
house and started for Cleveland on the
night train,
The story Of his discovery Of the mine
is at once unique and interesting,
1t ia meet and proper to state at thi9
stage Of the proceedings that citizen
Malone is mining engineer by profess
sion ana naturalist by inclination,
So II came 10 pass that alter his ar.
rival in Mexico he spent a good part OF
his time in inspecting the various gifts
Dame Nature has bestowed upon the
land OF the Aztecs, He spent week
in the City of Mexico hobnobbing with
speculative American and Mexican
miners. The last named gentlemen in
formed him that from mineral point
OF view, the republic was sad disap-
pointment.
Having acquired this information he
abandoned all thought OF making his
expenses by discovering beds OF valu-
able ore and plunged into the interior
in search OF rare ferns and palms.
A week later found him in the noun.
talns with halt.breel and lean and
hungry dog for travelling companions.
One sultry morning the halt.breed
brought in q bunch OF rare ferns and o
bit Of quartz the size Of cobblestone
and laid them before his employer.
Citizen Malone was smoking a cigar
cite at the time and wondering how he
would spend the day. He bestowed a
careless glance at the bit Of quartz,
Then he jumped 10 his feet and o
strange light kinded in his eyes. He
saw the glealn OF yellow gold in the
quartz. The hali-breed led him up the
mountain path for q short distance, and
then, pointed out q mass OF jagged
quartz enshrouded in vines and ferns.
For the next four hours Citizen
Malone forgot all about his pains and
aches, and pottered about among the
rocks. Then he filled his pockets with
specimens and announced his intention
OF returning to civilization with all pos
sible speed.
In a week he had formed a company,
and in another six days the virgin hills
were decorated with the huts OF 100
miners, and the work OF digging up,
those blocks OF precious quartz had
begun.
Citizen Malone spent the best part OF
yesterday at the Burnet house and
started for Cleveland last night. Just
before he left the clerk opened the big
safe and handed the departing guest
brown paper package. Mr.. Malone car.
ried his burden into one Of the parlors
and the reporter followed him.
Once inside the room the door was

cords and removed the paper wrappings.
Then he stood aside and invited his
guests to feast their eyes on the richest
lump OF quartz ever brought out OF
Mexico.
1t proved to be an irregular, square
shaped rock. It's owner said that 1t
weighed twenty.eiGht pounds and was
worth more than $4,000.
II don't care to say much about my
discovery" said Citizen Malone, as he
wrapped up his treasure, "hut / will say
this: / honestly believe that in an.
other year Mexico will be overrun with
gold hunters. donot care to give you
the exact location Of my pocket Of COL.
den quartz, for tho simple reason that
the company is quietly buying up oil
the land in the immediate vicinity.
"The mine is only a weeks journey
from the City OF Mexico, and situatedin
veritable wilderness OF tropic vegeta.
ton. / expect to return TO Mexico in
less than a month"
Citizen Malone and his valuable
specimen started for Cleveland on
late train. ID gl,sa1
