3456°— Bull. 30, pt 2—07 29 



Farmer, Apr. 27, 1860) says the name of 

 the rancheria at the site of the mission 

 was Chulam, or Chalomi. At this place 

 Fr. Lasuen, on July 25, 1797, "in the 

 presence of a great multitude of gentiles 

 of both sexes and of all ages," formally 

 founded the mi.ssi(»n. The natives were 

 very friendly, and 15 children were offered 

 for baptism the same day. The mission 

 grew rapidly in population and wealth. 

 By 1800 there were 362 neophytes, and 

 973 in 1810, while the greatest number, 

 1,076, was reached in 1814. At the end 

 of the first three years the mi.«sion had 

 372 horses and cattle, and 1,582 small 

 stock, while the crops for that year (1800) 

 were 1,900 bushels. In 1810 there were 

 5,281 cattle and horses, 11,160 small 

 stock, with an average cro)) for the pre- 

 ceding decade of 3,468 bushels. During 

 the next decade the stock increased con- 

 siderably, but the crops began and con- 

 tinued to decline. In 1806 the mission 

 lost a number of its buildings and a large 

 quantity of supplies by fire, but the roof 

 only of the church was injured. Shortly 

 after 1818 a new church was completed. 

 In 1828 the mission lands were reported 

 as extending from the ocean to Tulare 

 lake. In 1834 there were 599 neophytes. 

 Up to this time the total number of na- 

 tives baptized was 2,562, of whom 1,277 

 were children. The mission was secu- 

 larized in 1836, and was generally pros- 

 perous until 1840, as its ranches and vine- 

 yards had not been granted to i)rivate 

 individuals. The Indians lived at the 

 mission and on the ranches, and in 1840 

 still numbered 350. In 1844, however, 

 San Miguel was reported as without lands 

 or cattle, while its neophytes were demor- 

 alized and scattered for want of aminister. 

 The mission was sold in 1845, but the 

 purchase was later declared invalid. The 

 church and monastery were pi'eserved 

 and are still in use. The church is par- 

 ticularly interesting because of the inte- 

 rior decorations, which have been prac- 

 tically undisturbed since the days of the 

 first padres. The Indians of this mission 

 belonged to the Salinan (q. v.) linguistic 

 family, though among the neophytes 

 were many, probably Yokuts, from San 

 Joaquin valley, with whom the natives 

 around the mission are said to have been 

 on intimate terms. (a. b. l.)
