aFTER long delays and sharply contested negotiations with the author- rnes of the Indies, Don Juan de Onate obtained a royal contract for the settlement of a new province to the north. In January, 1598, Onate set out from the mines of Santa Barbara, embarking on the first successful colonization of New Mexico. Leading a large expedition of soldiers, colonists and their families- herds of livestock and long lines of ox-carts laden with supplies-he traversed the State of Chihuahua and crossed the Rio Grande about twenty-five miles south of where El Paso is now located. The expedition stopped there to hold elaborate ceremonies and formally take possession of the new lands. In his report to the King of Spain, Onate referred to El Paso del Norte, and was thus the first to mention the name of our city. Robert M.
