nothing more fascinating than
the annals of the "conquista-
dores" who represented Castil-
lian pride and power Ponce de
Leon, Cortez, Pizarro, De Soto,
Coronado, and their comrades,
who fourished in the sixteenth
century and made their grand
tours over the western hemi-
sphere impelled by thirst for
adventure and imbued with a
contempt for danger.
Francisco Vasquez de Coro-
nado, a native of Salamanca,
Spain, of noble descent, who had
attained distinction as a soldier
and a statesman, entered Arizona
at the head of his command in
! 154O and wandered for years in
search of the gems and gold of
the mythical seven cities of Ci-
bola. Coronado's vagrant ram
bles yielded him no pecuniary
profit, but he reported to his
sovereign that in his explora-
tions he was as richly rewarded
as if he had found the legendary
cities and Quivera's phantom
! towers
fernando de Alarcon sailed
from Acapulco in May, 154O. to
explore the region north of New
Spain and reached the head of
the Gulf of California, then
known as the Sea of Cortez. He
reported that he found a mighty
river that ran with so great a
fury that we could hardly sail
against it. There began the ac-
quaintance of Europeans with
the Colorado river, the nile of
the West
The Colorado river, which
forms the western boundary line
of the State, has the energy to
drive practically unnumbered in
dustrial enterprises, and if its
waters were scientifically con-
served they would irrigate lands
sufficient to support nearly 2, 900,
600 persons. This river annually
discharges 360,000,000 tons of
| fertilizing material. The wealth,
population, produce, and tradi-
tion of the land of the Pharaohs
could easily be reproduced in the
valley of this river.
Spanish Missionaries and Mis-
sions
Father Quino, subsequently
known as "the great apostle to
the Pima Indians" established
/ the first mission in Arizona. He
was native of Trent, in the
Austrian Tyrol, and died about
the year ITO after twenty-siX
years of missionary work in
Arizona and in Sonora, Mexico.
The Mission of San Xavier del
Bac, near the city of Tucson,
known as a ''rancheria" in the
seventeenth century, and as a
mission since 1720, is the Oldest
mission in Arizona or California
which has not fallen into partial
decay. 1t stands a monument to
the zeal, industry and architec-
tural skill of the early mission
aries.

invasion were Kit Carson, the

THE OLD NEW STATE
Arizona, Rich in Scenic Gran
deur, Romance, History
and Natural Resources

The following article by Sena:-
tor Henry f. Ashurst, of Ari-
zona, was printed in the Con-
gressional Record, January IA,
1919:
Arizona was a populous land
before the Pyramids, were built.
Years before Romulus and Remus
were sucked. ancient Arizona
peoples builded cities, not wholly
lacking in grandeur. These peo-
pie of antiquity wove and spun
cotton and flax into gaudy tapes
tries; they melted gold and sill
yer, from Arizona's hills, into
chieftains ornaments and queens
girdles, before Caesars shouting
legions and laureled ensigns
brought tribute back to Rome.
Centuries before the Knicker-
booker set foot on Manhattan
Island, their engineers Watered
Arizona's fertile sands from ca
nails and reservoirs finished with
hard Innings of tamped or burnt
clay, which in some degree pos
sessed the endurance Of our mod
ern concrete. The origin of this
people is unknown, enwrapped
in the mists of antiquity. Moth
ing has been found of sufficient
distinctiveness to enable us TO do
more than speculate and form
ingenious theories as to whence
they came, how long they en-
joyed their tolerable civilization,
and whittier and why they went.
The Pima Indians reported to
Padre Quino in 1893 that the
Casa Grande ruins were in the
same condition at least 300 years
before, which seemed to Oe as
far back as the Pima tradition
ran.
Whether these ancient peoples
perished, migrated into Mexico,
or broke up into the numerous
tribes of aborigines still inhabit-
ing the State is matter of spec
ulation.
Obscure and meager is that
portion of our annals where we
must seek for the meaning and
derivation of the name "Ari-
zona." According to bulletin
GLIB, "Guidebook of the Western
States" issued by the Depart
ment of the Interior in 1915. the
word Arizona" is taken from
the Papago language, in which
it is said to signify place of
small springs" According to
the Encyclopedia of Names, the
word is said to be "a corruption
of Pima OF Pagago, 'Oriison,
meaning little creeks. Now
ray IN his Arizona and Sonora, "
says: 'The name is undoubtedly
derived from the Aztec. In the
original it is 'Arizuma' and the
change is a corruption into the
present word, which is accepted as
Spanish. The impression among
those who have been curious
enough to investigate is that it
signifies 'siIver-bearing. -
