Found q Columbus Letter.

Fort MYERS, FLA, Feb. l4.-W.
G. Zimmerman, Circuit Court clerk Of
Citrus County, and an archaelogist Of
note, has just reached this place from
San Carlos Bay Islands, south Of Fort
Myers, where with a number of friends
he has been on a camp hunt. On one
of the islands Zimmerman and his
friends. found the relics of Spanish
expedition sent out from Cuba by
Christopher Columbus, when the great
discoverer was Governor Of that island.
While hunting the men passed low
mound, and at Zimmerman's request
an investigation was made.
After little digging something hard
was struck and when unearthed it was
found to be complete suit of armor.
Further digging unearthed three more
suits of armor. Zimmerman pried
open the helmet of one Of the suits
and was shocked to see skull. The
entire suit was then opened and found
to contain skeleton. The other suits
were then opened and also found to
contain skeletons. Four swords made
in Toledo we're found near the skele-
tons.
Further digging brought to light an
iron box filled with Spanish doubloons
and easily worth $4,000, a few blum
derbusses and cutlasses Of antique
~attern. bearing the name Sebastian
:lasoucz and the date 1890. Iim-
herman continued to dig and was re-
warded by unearthing another iron
box, which proved the most interest.
ing find of all. In this box was found
portrait of beautiful woman painted
on ivory, medallion dated 1897, on
which was a raised figure of Christopher
Columbus and roll Of parchment
covered with writing.
Zimmerman, who is fine linguist,
soon saw that the parchment was
letter from Columbus to Sebastian
Velasquez and related to an expedition
which the latter was to lead from Cuba
to explore the coasts Of Florida. The
letter was one cf instructions and was
signed by Columbus as Governor OF
Cuba. Zimmerman thinks Eelasquezs
expedition was wrecked near San
Carlos, and the members, afraid to
venture inland because of the abo-
rigincs, settled on this island, where
they remained until they perished.
Zimmerman has with him the suits of
armor, the doubloons, parchment and
other relies. The doubloons will be
divided among members of the party
and the relics disposed Of to the
