SAN JOSE— SAN JOSE DE LOS NAZONES 



[b. a. e. 



hostile villages, doubtless increased the 

 difficulties. More than once expeditions 

 to recover runaway neophytes were at- 

 tacked. In 1826 a ])arty of neophytes got 

 into trouble with the Cosumni, and a 

 punitive expedition was sent out, which 

 brought in 40 captives. In 1829 there 

 was an extensive campaign into the San 

 Joaquin valley against rebellious natives 

 headed by Estanislas, a former neophyte 

 of the mission. After 1830 San Jose was 

 more prosperous than any other mission 

 in California. In 1834 the neophytes num- 

 bered about 1,400. The number of natives 

 baptized up to that time was 6,670, of 

 whom 2,488 were children. In 1840, 580 

 were still at the mission, with possibly 

 200 more scattered in the district. The 

 mission was secularized in 1836, when 

 the inventory showed a total valuation, 

 excluding lands and church property, of 

 1155,000. After 1840 the decline was 

 rapid. In 1843 the mission was restored 

 to the control of the padres. Two years 

 later it was estimated that about 250 In- 

 dians still lived in the vicinity. In 1846 

 the mission was sold by Gov. Pico for 

 $12,000, but this sale was not confirmed, 

 and the Catholic Church retained con- 

 trol. The old mission church has now 

 completely disappeared and a modern 

 parish church has been built on the site. 

 The only part of the old buildings re- 

 maining is a portion of the monastery. 

 The Indians in the neighborhood of the 

 mission belonged to the Costanoan lin- 

 guistic stock, the Saklan, Karkin, and 

 Mutsun divisions being doubtless repre- 

 sented. A large part of the neophytes, 

 however, especially during the later years 

 of its existence, came from San Joaquin 

 and Sacramento valleys, and included 

 representatives of the Moquelumnan, Co- 

 pehan, and Mariposan (Yokuts) linguistic 

 stocks. (a. B. L. ) 



San Jose. A former Diegueno village 

 on upper San Luis Rey r., in San Diego 

 CO., Cal. It later became a part of Agua 

 Caliente No. 1 res., on which Warner's 

 ranch was situated. By court decision, 

 the Indians, numbering only 14, were 

 evicted in 1903, when they were assigned 

 to a new reservation purchased for them 

 at Pala. See Jackson and Kinney, Eep. 

 Miss. Ind., 24, 1883; Ind. Aff. Rep., 175, 

 1902; 118, 1903. 



San Josd. A group of Huichol ranche- 

 rias under the jurisdiction of San Andres 

 Coamiata, situated about 10 m. n. w. of 

 the latter place, in the Sierra de los Hui- 

 choles, JaUsco, Mexico. It is a religious 

 center and the seat of a temple or "god 

 house of the sun." — Lumholtz, Unknown 

 Mex., 11, 28, 1902. 



Haiokalita. — Lumholtz, ibid, ('where there are 

 springs': Huichol name). 



San Jos^. A rancheria of one of the 

 Yuman tribes, which was selected as the 



site of a mission, on the Rio Gila near 

 its mouth in s. w. Arizona; visited and 

 named by Fr. Sedelmair in 1748. — Ban- 

 croft, Ariz, and N. Mex., 367, 1889. 



San Jose. A ruined pueblo near Pecos, 

 New Mexico, formerly occupied by the 

 Pecos Indians. — Bandelier in Arch. Inst. 

 Bull., I, 15, 1883. 



San Jose. A Tepehuane pueblo and 

 the seat of a mission in e. Durango, Mex- 

 ico. — Orozco y Berra, Geog., 318, 1864. 



San Jose de Comondu. A Cochimi set- 

 tlement in the central mountainous part 

 of Lower California, lat. 26° 5^, and the 

 seat of the Jesuit mission founded by 

 Padre Mayorga in 1708. In 1745 it had 

 3 visitas, one lying a league to the w., an- 

 other 7 leagues n. , and another 10 leagues 

 E. on the Gulf shore (Venegas). In 1767 

 the population of the mission was 360, 

 according to Clavigero, probably includ- 

 ing the inhabitants of the visitas.

San Jose de los Nazones. A Franciscan 

 mission founded July 10, 1716, bj^ Fray 

 Isidro Felix de Espinosa, author of the 

 Chronica Apostolica among the Nazoni 

 and for the Nazoni and Nadaco, e. of An- 

 gelina r. and about 20 m. n. w. of Nacog- 

 doches, on a small stream flowing n., 

 evidently one of the southern branches 

 of Shawnee cr., Texas. The statement 

 that it was between the Neches and the 

 Trinity is incorrect, as is also the assertion 

 that it was founded for the "Noaches," 

 a tribe which did not exist in Texas; 

 After three years of little success, the 

 mission was abandoned in 1719, in com- 

 mon with all the others of e. Texas, 

 through fear of a French invasion. On 

 Aug. 13, 1721, it was reestablished on the 

 same site by the Marques de Aguayo and 

 Father Espinosa. The church and the 

 dwelling, which were found in ruins, were 

 rebuilt, the chief of the Nazoni was re- 

 instated as "governor," and Fray Benito 

 Sanchez left in charge (Peila, Derrotero, 

 foHo 18, Mexico, 1722). In 1729 the pre- 

 sidio near the Angelina, which protected 

 this mission, was withdrawn, and as a 

 result the mission was suppressed in 1729- 

 30. An attempt was first made to rees- 

 tablish it on San Marcos r., then on the 

 Nueces and the Frio, but finally a site 

 was chosen on the San Antonio, 12 m. 

 below the present city of that name. 

 Here, on Mar. 5, 1731, the mission of San 

 Jos6 was rechristened San Juan Capis- 

 trano (q. v.). While in e. Texas, the 

 mission had never been very successful, 

 for while the Indians were in the main 

 friendly, they were indifferent to the 

 faith, and refused to give up their life in
