Fourteen of these dwellings, thatched, were completed in 1793, nine more in 1794, and before 1798 nearly all the married neophytes were thus accommodated.32 The cloth woven at Santa Clara seemed to Vancouver of a better quality than at San Francisco. In 1792 two thousand hides were tanned, but very few of them could be sold. Miguel Sangrador was the master tanner and shoemaker; Cayetano Lopez the master carpenter and mill-maker. It does not appear that there was any water-power mill either at Santa Clara or San José before 1800.63

THE rule of Diego de Borica from 1794 to 1800 was a period rather of progress, or of effort toward progress, than of events. Going beyond the routine duties of his position, the governor devoted himself faithfully and intelligently to the general advancement of his province. No one of California's few classes of inhabitants was slighted or specially favored. Mis- sionaries, neophytes, pagans, soldiers, and settlers, cach received sympathy, encouragement, and aid from the government. No industry or institution was neglected. Missions and pueblos, conversion and colonization, agriculture and trade, civil and military and ecclesiastical government, all received close atten- tion. The neophytes were the weakest class and received the most sympathy; the padres were the strongest and required least protection; the settlers were the most difficult to manage and received atten- tion proportionate to the magnitude of interests in- volved in the future prosperity of the country. If the results of Borica's efforts as presented in the pre- ceding chapters were slight and unsatisfactory in

THE GOVERNOR'S CHARACTER.
many respects as viewed from an Anglo-American standpoint, this fact was due to inherent difficulties in the problems presented for solution, to the spirit of the times, to the nature of the raw material both native and foreign, rather than to Borica's shortcom- ings or to inadequate royal provisions. Don Diego was not a genius; he was a prudent, sensible man, honest and zealous in the discharge of his public duties.
I have already noted Borica's arrival with his fam- ily at Loreto, and in the autumn of 1794, at Monterey. Fortunately a quantity of his private letters or blot- ters of the same, were left in California and have been preserved in the archives giving us a brief glance at the man in his private capacity, as an agreeable com- panion, a bon vivant, jovial and witty. The letters also gave us Borica's early impressions of California, enthusiastically eulogized as the best country in the world in which to live long and well.1 Unfortunately the governor took better care of private correspond- ence in later years, and from the beginning of 1795 his individuality is well nigh sunk in the generalities of official communications, which nevertheless con- tinue to show the good-humor, kindness of heart, sympathy for all suffering, invariable courtesy, and business-like good sense which always characterized the man.2 His relations with the friars were always friendly and mutually respectful. At the first he assured President Lasuen of his desire to avoid all controversy between the secular and the missionary authorities, a desire reciprocated by Lasuen,3 and sub- sequently kept in view by both parties. Lasuen

2 García, in Taylor's Discov. and Found., No. 25, ii. 145, speaks of Borica as not liked by the people on account of his stiff and formal manners; but there is nothing in contemporary records to show that such was the feel- ing toward him. Romero, Memorias, MS., 18, speaks of him as noted for kindness and courtesy in his intercourse with subordinates, though never per- mitting neglect of duty to pass unrebuked.

often deemed Borica too much disposed to hear and credit the complaints of lying neophytes, but no noticeable coolness ensued. Still Borica's success in maintaining harmony with the padres should not be compared with the failure of his predecessors to their disadvantage; for to a certain extent that success resulted from the fact that Neve and Fages had fought the battle, and the missionaries had learned from ex- perience that it was not wise as yet to renew the conflict.
I find no evidence that Borica ever left the capital during his rule of six years, though it is not unlikely that he may have visited San José and San Francisco. In July 1794, before coming north, he sent a petition to the king for promotion, and in October 1795 received his commission as colonel of cavalry.4 In these early years he also cherished the hope of still further pro- motion to a generalship, or at least to the governorship of Sonora, Durango, or Zacatecas. To this end he sent large sums of money to Spain to be used at court, but his agent Miranda seems to have spent the money to no purpose.5 He seems to have been a man of wealth, or at all events his wife, Doña María Magda- lena de Urquides, had large estates in Nueva Vizcaya.6 Being a knight of the order of Santiago he acted on May 5, 1796, as grand master at the initiation of the Spanish naval officer Don Ramon de Saavedra, at Monterey. President Lasuen served as prelate on

6 Prov. Rec., MS., vi. 124. His wife and daughter, a beanty of 16, were very popular. García, in Taylor's Discov. and Found., No. 25, 11. José María Romero, Memorias, MS., 18, says Borica had a son of the age of about 15, whom he knew, and whose name he thinks was Cosme. He may indeed have had a son, for he wrote to the president on July 23, 1795, that his wife was about to bear him 'un Californico o una Californica,' Prov. Rec., MS., vi. 147, but he could not have been 15 years old in California. He had a sister, Bernarda de Borica, în Victoria, province of Álava, Spain, his native place; and he sent her, April 27, 1795, a bill of exchange for 105 pounds sterling. Prov. St. Pap., MS., xxi. 210, 225.

PREPARATIONS FOR DEPARTURE.
that occasion, and it was probably the only ceremony of the kind that ever occurred in California.7
In April 1799 Governor Borica applied to the vice- roy for leave of absence to recuperate his health. He said he had served thirty-six years, twenty-five of which had been spent in active campaigns against Indian tribes and in tours of inspection of presidios, mining-camps, and other settlements in the Provincias Internas. Journeyings aggregating ten thousand four hundred and seventy-five leagues almost exclu- sively on horseback had given rise to a malady which demanded medical treatment. Either a leave of ab- sence or a permanent transfer to an easier position in New Spain would be satisfactory as he had no wish to return to Spain. The result was a grant of eight months' leave signed by the viceroy in June and made known in California in September.8 The document provided that Arrillaga, remaining at Loreto, should be governor ad interim, while Alberni, presumably by virtue of his seniority of military rank over Arrillaga, was to take the position of comandante de armas for Alta California. It was the governor's intention to depart in October, but he was delayed by new orders from Mexico until the beginning of the next year. The viceroy instructed him, owing to the hostile atti- tude of British vessels in the Pacific, not to avail himself of his leave of absence "until the aspect of things should change."9
The 3d of January 1800 Borica announced his in- tention to depart on the 12th or 15th, and the com- mandants were notified to publish the accession of

Arrillaga and Alberni.10 On the 16th of the same month he sailed on the Concepcion from San Diego with his family, Captain Grajera, and four retiring padres. Grajera, as we have seen, died two days out from port; of Colonel Borica after his departure we know only by a brief note in a subsequent communi- cation of the viceroy that he died at Durango July 19, 1800.11 January 16th, the date of Borica's de- parture from California, may be regarded as the day when Arrillaga's third term of rule ad interim began. There were no events connected with his rule for the rest of 1800 that require mention here.
A Spanish account of California published in 1799, though relating chiefly to the peninsula, contains a tolerably complete and accurate sketch of the north- ern establishments; and the instructions left by Vice- roy Azanza to his successor in 1800 contain frequent allusions to Californian affairs and have already been cited on special topics.12 It will have been noticed that my foot-notes form an index of authorities on each succesive phase of the historic record-that is of original authorities in manuscript and print; but I have not deemed it best or worth the space required to extend this indexing process to the secondary authorities. Seven eighths of the events recorded in

SECONDARY AUTHORITIES.
this and the following volumes are here mentioned for the first time; but the other eighth have been often repeated on the authority of Palou, the old voyagers, and a few documents, by modern writers. The works of such writers I have fully studied and utilized, citing them whenever there has been any reason for so doing, but have not, as before stated, given a com- plete index in my notes. Omitting many books that contain a superficial account of early events or a mere reference to them, I append in a note a list of works that have some merit, many of them standard works of real and recognized value, as the reader will see at a glance. They are grouped here as secondary authorities only because on the earliest period of his- tory they add nothing to the original records in my collection.13
Having thus reached the end of the decade and century, I close my first volume of California's annals with a list containing the names of over 1,700 male inhabitants of the province down to the year 1800. The names have been collected with great care and labor from mission registers of baptisms, marriages, and deaths; from company rosters, pueblo padrones, and from thousands of miscellaneous documents in the archives. That the list is absolutely complete and accurate I cannot pretend, for a few of the regis- ters have been lost, and somne names, especially of

Also 40 or 50 county histories published within the past ten years; and numerous newspaper articles, especially in S. F. Bulletin, C'all, and Alta, and Sacramento Union. There is hardly a paper in the state that has not published some valuable matter with much of no value.

children, in the later years, are therefore missing. Again some of the persons mentioned in connection with the earliest expedition, especially those to whom no special occupation is assigned, never came to Alta California at all, or only came as vaqueros or escorts to return immediately. Another source of error is the uniformity of Spanish given names and the fact that men were known at different times by different names or combination of names to avoid confusion; hence there is no doubt that my list contains a certain number of repetitions. Yet it may well be doubted if so complete a list of the earliest inhabitants can be formed for any other state of the United States or Mexico. My attempts at chronology are limited to the separation of the names into four classes, putting each person in the class in which his name first appears in the records. Number 1 includes the earliest pio- neers who came in 1769-73; number 2 those of 1774-80; number 3 those of 1780-90; and number 4 those of 1790-1800.
