in the vicinity of Tubac. The
gentleman informed "T h e
Oasis" that with several others
he had compromised with the
Baca Float Grant claimants and
bought the title they have been
given by the decree of the Su-
preme Court of the United
States, sustaining the validity
of the grant, which was con-
tested by the settlers through
al the courts. Beside Mr..
Casanega several other land
holders in the vicinity have
made the same kind of a settle
ment, including Karns Broth
ers; and other compromises are
pending.
The title to his Calabasas
property Mr.. Casanega has not
attempted to settle as yet. That
property is upon the south half
of the grant, and another set
of claimants has that matter to
settle. 1t seems that the two
sets of owners under the Baca
title, after adjudicating Their
own differences made division
of the grant on an east and
west line. The claimants of the
south half have not made any
offer of settlement as yet, it is
all the courts. Beside Mr..
understood; but it is said they
will do so. Doubtless all the
settlers will follow the example
set by Mr.. Casanega and Karns
Brothers.
When the settlers have Sc
cured the grant title they will
improve their properties, and
within few years there will be
a great difference in the ap-
pearance of the Santa Cruz
valley. With the grant plaster
upon their lands they made as
little improvement as possible.
Now they will adopt a diff
ferent course with regard to
that. a
And when the settlers have
all acquired title there will be
left in the grant many acres OF
fine land, both agricultural and
grazing, which will be utilized
by either the grant claimants
or people to whom they will
sell.
