By Adam S. Eterovich

Martin Coschina, native of the Island of Brac, was a partner of the famed Delmonico Restaurant in Treasure City. Martin appeared on the Nevada State Census of 1875 with a white wife, aged 16, born in Africa. he was in business with Viscovich and Merlich at Pioche in 1870 and again in business with Gustanovich at Pioche in 1876. Martin had two young men both named V. Coschina living with him in 1875. In 1884 at San Jose, California a Martin Coschina was a police officer. He was a citizen. These two fellows from the Island of Brac, Dalmatia came a long way to open with Delmonico Restaurant at Treasure City, Nevada. At least they felt at home, Brac is all rock an so is Treasure City.
