VAIN SEARCH FOR WEALTH
Spanish Priest Bravsd Death In
Terrible Form In Quest Of
Fabulous e. Dorado,

Although separated from Mexico by
the Rio Grande only. Texas was not
%colonized by the Spanish until the end
Of the Seventeenth century. says
John Chapman Hilder In the Ladies'
Home journal. Prior to this time there
were two important voyages Of dis
covery in the North. but such were The
difficulties and so great the distances
that they ended In failure. The first
notable expedition into the vast m
known country that we know today as
Arizona. New Mexico and Texas was
the amazing journey Of Fray Marcos
de Mia, between 1889 and 1871. He
al sent by Antonio de Mendoza, then
, 1921-06-02

governor Of New Spain, to seek seven
fabulous cities. tales OF whose wealth
had reached Mexico City via the In
dams. These stories were corroborat-
ed by n CnbeZa de Vaca, who had
been shipwreckcd on m island of the
Texas coast and who ginning the
mainland a year later. only to he
seized by Indians, finally escaped
with three companions and. after
years Of wandering through the w'ids
found his way back to his people.
On the journey he had heard Of north
ern cities incrusted with turquoise
and paved with gold and silver.
1t was these that Mendoza expected
Fray Marcos to find. Accompanied
by a negro who had shared De Vaca's
experiences, and by some friendly
Pima Indians. the brave friar t0ur.
neyed through Arizona to the Zuni
country. Stories Of the treasure he
might expect to ind increased In
promise as he progressed. But sudden.
ly. when he thought himself within
easy reach of the promised land. word
came from ahead that his advance
guard had been murdered by hostile
Indians. Lacking support. moral or
material, the friar became discouraged
and returned empty handed to Mex.
