Treasure Land DCSB LIBRARV TREASURE LAND A STOPY VOL I PUBLISHED BY THE ARIZONA ADVANCEMENT COMPANY TUCSON, ARIZONA 1897 COPYRIGHTED BY J. GEO. HILZINGER, TUCSON, ARIZONA, 1897. TREASURES or AND.... TREASURES OE WEALTH. ^f-\^f -^f ^^ ^^ -^^ TO THE READER: It is said of an old writer of romance, that he set the church bells ringing merely because he had found a name for one of his heroes, and we felt equally joyous when we found a title fof our book. It is one that suits it admirably, for it is full of gems of fact and fancy, and points the way to bounteous stores of treasures of health and wealth that are to be had for the seeking. As the ignorant Turk is said to preserve every scrap of writing that comes in his way, because the name of God may be written upon it, so do thou, O Reader, with this book, for there may be hope of life or a life of hope in it for some one who shall see it. We make no apology for our book : it is the best we can give under the circumstances, and is really worth twice as much to the reader as the latest novel. We claim no more originality than does the artist who transfers his perceptions of natural beauty to his canvas, and while we court no criticism, we do not fear it. We only ask of those, who are always ready to decry home talent, that, THEY BUY A COPY TO CRITICISE. We thank the many friends who have kindly given us their advice and assistance in launching this venture, and in their generous approval we shall find our greatest satisfaction. THE PUBLISHERS. Tucson, Arizona. July, 1897. CONTENTS. CHAPTER. I'AGE. I. Where and What \B this Treasure Land ? 5 II. The Story of the Sun-Kissed Land 15 III.

The City of Ages 10'J VIII. The Line City 141 WHERE AND WHAT is THIS TREASURE LAND? Where the ruddy Colorado rushes onward to the sea ; Where the Gila's seething waters mveep along right merrily : Where the canyons mighty fissure, and the rolling valleys lie; Where the kisses of the zephyrs make the swaying forests sigli There lies this Treasure Land beneath a sunny southern sky ! And on her fruitful bosom, ivith tender passions rife, Lie treasures for the seeking, and the elixir of life. Where Some time in the near future an effort will be made to annex the United States to Arizona, and in view of an <* this political amalgamation, some general information What Is It ? respecting it will prove interesting. If the reader will refer to the most accessible geog- raphy, he will find the following description, or words to the same effect: "Arizona is bounded on the east, north and west by the United States of America, on the south by the Republic of Mexico, above by the serenest of skies and beneath by inexhaustible deposits of mineral, and a soil more fertile than the valley of the Nile." We may not follow the book precisely, as we quote from memory, but being on the spot, with the facts before us, we are probably nearer the truth than the book is. "The surface consists of elevated table-lands broken by lofty mountains and interspersed by valleys, many of which are intersected by irrigating canals, dotted with thriving towns, and bright with the green and gold of orchard, field and vineyard. Some of these valleys are more than 200 miles long and from twenty to forty miles wide, and more fertile than the far-famed valleys watered by the river Nile. One who is not familiar with the character of the rich soil has no conception of the future value of these immense valleys. In a few years the territory will be one vast garden, excepting those portions reserved for grazing purposes." We now ask the reader to refer to the Governor's Report for 1896, and if a copy is not obtainable, to rely upon the faithfulness of our extracts from it. "Arizona has been called 'the sun-kissed' land and the title is well deserved." 6 Treasure Land. We pause here to call attention to the singular appropriateness of the expression; the word "kissed" suggests a wealth of loving ecstasy, of blending harmonies, of azure skies, of shimmering eyes, balmy breath, the incense of flowers, and all that is sweetest in life. "In no other country are there so many days of sunshine, and this. combined with an air, pure, invigorating and free from infection, not only sustains and prolongs life in the human family, but creates a con- dition impossible to excel for the propagation and sustenance of life in the animal and vegetable kingdoms. It is for this reason Arizona pro- duces the finest horses, cattle, sheep and hogs to be found in the world. The earliest and finest-flavored fruits (six weeks earlier than any other state or territory in the Union); flowers of exquisite shape, tinged with the most attractive and pleasing dyes of nature, and cereals wheat, barley, oats and rye equaled nowhere else in the country. Its resources are without limit, its mountains are the storehouse of precious metals and stones, its forests the greatest in the United States, its plains sustain vast herds of cattle and sheep, while the valleys pro- duce grams and fruits that have no equal anywhere. Arizona possesses one of the finest and most valuable forests in the world, known as the Mogollon forest, which covers an area of 10,000 square miles, or 6,400,000 acres, being, with possibly two exceptions, the most extensive body of timber in the known world. Agriculture is rapidly becoming a great industry in this territory, and thousands of acres of land are being reclaimed yearly by the develop- ment of water for irrigation purposes. Upon this land the husbandman reaps a splendid return for his intelligence and industry, the land pro- ducing almost every product known to the temperate and semi-tropical zones. Stock raising is also being remarkably developed, and thousands of sheep, horses and cattle are yearly fed upon its grazing land. The product from the three most important industries mining, stock raising and agriculture gives an aggregate return of $18,385,550.70, which of itself is a panegyric on the wealth of Arizona's resources. The mineral output gold, silver, copper, lead and limestone aggre- gated $13,978,263.20. The stock industry gave a return of $2,757,287.50. Although owing to the numerous ways by which products are trans- ported, it is almost impossible to obtain statistics which would show an accurate estimate of the amount and value of farm produce exported, yet a very conservative estimate will show a total return from this source of not less than $1,650,000. Our counties and cities are well governed. Our cities have a less number of policemen, and our court records show that fewer crimes are committed in this territory than in any state of the Union. Arizona is a most inviting field for capital and skilled labor. Her undeveloped resources are varied and almost without limit Millions of acres of agricultural land are yet to be reclaimed by the development and proper storage of water. Communication by enlarged and cheaper railroad facilities is urgently demanded between the various points of the territory, that an interchange of home products between the mining and agricultural sections may be made. Many avenues of industrial life offer varied and profitable induce- ment for the engagement of capital and labor, and her agricultural, min- eral and grazing wealth should receive that attention from outside in- vestors which they deserve. Factories might also be profitably started. There are many fibrous grasses and plants of indigenous growth that could be used in the manu- \\'here and Wliat its tin's Treasure Land ? 7 facture of paper, bagging, rope, etc. In the valley of the Colorado river wild hemp suitable for this purpose is found in almost unlimited quantities. Ironwood, which grows all along the base of our mountains, is very hard when dry, and when polished is of a beautiful appearance. This wood produces a veneering of good quality, which could be made to supply eastern manufacturers, who now obtain their product from other countries. Arizona has within its borders a population of over 100,000, being an increase of 35,000 since 1893. The people are cultured, energetic and enterprising; they have caused the desert to awaken with life; they have invaded the great forests and delved into the mountains that they might all pay tribute to the necessities of .Arizona's modern civilization. The moral and social status is excellent. Our educational facilities meet every demand of a cultured and ambitious people. And every condition which we find in this splendid Territory shows every possible requirement for the making of a great and prosperous Commonwealth. The immigration is of the very best class, and Arizona numbers among her population representatives from all portions of our Union, and the very highest types of citizenship of the communities whence they emigrate. They are progressive and enterprising, thoroughly American in character, loyal to their country, and justly proud of the home of their adoption." "Alice in Wonderland" would lose all its charm if the How author failed to inform us how she reached the fairy realm of Fancy.

Sánchez, Ph.D. John Howard White, Ph.D. Edited by Angélica Sánchez-Clark, Ph.D. With the assistance of Hector Contreras, David Gómez and Feliza Monta University of New Mexico Graduate Students Spanish Colonial Research Center A Partnership between the University of New Mexico and the National Park Service [Version Date: May 20, 2014] 1 Coronado National Memorial Coronado Expedition Research Topics 1) Research the lasting effects of the expedition in regard to exchanges of cultures, Native American and Spanish. Was the shaping of the American Southwest a direct result of the Coronado Expedition's meetings with natives? The answer to this question is embedded throughout the other topics. However, by 1575, the Spanish Crown declared that the conquest was over and the new policy of pacification would be in force. Still, the next phase that would shape the American Southwest involved settlement, missionization, and expansion for valuable resources such as iron, tin, copper, tar, salt, lumber, etc. Francisco Vázquez de Coronado’s expedition did set the Native American wariness toward the Spanish occupation of areas close to them. Rebellions were the corrective to their displeasure over colonial injustices and institutions as well as the mission system that threatened their beliefs and spiritualism. In the end, a kind of syncretism and symbiosis resulted. Today, given that the Spanish colonial system recognized that the Pueblos and mission Indians had a legal status, land grants issued during that period protects their lands against the new settlement pattern that followed: that of the Anglo-American.

  • Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place
    Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place A Historic Resource Study of Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains National Parks and the Surrounding Areas By Hal K. Rothman Daniel Holder, Research Associate National Park Service, Southwest Regional Office Series Number Acknowledgments This book would not be possible without the full cooperation of the men and women working for the National Park Service, starting with the superintendents of the two parks, Frank Deckert at Carlsbad Caverns National Park and Larry Henderson at Guadalupe Mountains National Park. One of the true joys of writing about the park system is meeting the professionals who interpret, protect and preserve the nation’s treasures. Just as important are the librarians, archivists and researchers who assisted us at libraries in several states. There are too many to mention individuals, so all we can say is thank you to all those people who guided us through the catalogs, pulled books and documents for us, and filed them back away after we left. One individual who deserves special mention is Jed Howard of Carlsbad, who provided local insight into the area’s national parks. Through his position with the Southeastern New Mexico Historical Society, he supplied many of the photographs in this book. We sincerely appreciate all of his help. And finally, this book is the product of many sacrifices on the part of our families. This book is dedicated to LauraLee and Lucille, who gave us the time to write it, and Talia, Brent, and Megan, who provide the reasons for writing. Hal Rothman Dan Holder September 1998 i Executive Summary Located on the great Permian Uplift, the Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns national parks area is rich in prehistory and history.

  • HISTORY Rio Rancho Is One of New Mexico's Newest Communities
    HISTORY Rio Rancho is one of New Mexico’s newest communities, incorporated as a City in 1981 with 10,131 residents. Although incorporated as a new community in 1981, the occupation of the site upon which present day Rio Rancho sits can be traced back to the Ice Age. Prehistoric to Early Historic….. It is commonly held that the Rio Grande Valley was inhabited approximately 10,000 to 12,000 years ago. The remains of a hunting campsite, located within the current City limits of Rio Rancho, reveal that the first indigenous residents lived in the Rio Rancho vicinity approximately 11,000 years ago. These early inhabitants were hunters and gatherers whose tools of the trade were arrowhead-like artifacts called “Folsom Points” named after the location where similar artifacts were first located in New Mexico in 1927. Archaeologists have located numerous pit house settlements, evidence of early habitation along the banks of the Rio Grande. The sites, one of which is estimated to have been occupied for nearly four hundred years, have either been excavated for academic study or preserved in perpetuity for future generations as open space. Spanish Period 1540 to 1821….. The end of the prehistoric era is marked by the appearance of the first Spanish explorers into the area. Francisco Vásquez de Coronado led Spanish conquistadors to the Rio Rancho vicinity in the winter of 1540 in search of the fabled, “seven cities of gold,” while conquering native peoples along the way. An early twentieth century excavation of a large 1,000-room, Tiwa pueblo revealed that it was occupied by the Anasazi (a Navajo word meaning the “ancient ones”) into the 16th century.
