ARROYO De San LORENZO GRANT,
Bill introduced In the Senate With Regard
to Socorro Property.

Senator Turner of Washington has
introduced a bill to confirm the grant of
land in New Mexico known as the Ar
royo de San Lorenzo grant.
The Arroyo de San Lorenzo grant,
better known as the Antonio Chaves
grant, is situated in Socorro county, on
the Rio Grande river. 1t was granted in
1925 by the governor and departmental
assembly of New Mexico to Antonio
Chaves, who occupied it. In 1850 it came
into the possession of Anastacio Gar
cha, Ramon Luna and Rafael Luna. 1t
is now claimed by Martin B. Hayes.
The court of private land claims and
the United States supreme court re-
jeeted the grant because the governor
Of New Mexico had no legal authority
to make the grant. Congress is now
asked to give the claimant the grant
because the grantee had lived on it and
made considerable improvements on it.
| The claim is for 100, 1873, 81 acres,
