We detect a distant cluster of galaxies at z ~1 centered on the QSO lens and luminous X-ray source AXJ2019+112 (Hattori et al 1997). The mass-to-light ratio within an aperture of 0.4 h ^{-1}Mpc determined using the X-ray temperature is M_x / L_V = 190^{+95}_{-66}h(M/L_V)sun. The strong lens model yields a compatible value, M/L_V = 315^{+80}_{-80}h(M/L_V)sun, whereas an independent weak lensing analysis sets an upper limit of M/L_V < 440 h(M/L_V)sun. This confirms that AXJ2019+112 has a M/L ratio similar to that of z < 1 massive clusters.
