152 THE FOUNDING OF SPANISH CALIFORNIA [On. VII was most bitter against him. One such document especially worthy of note is the already mentioned report by the Mar- ques de Rubi. After recounting Anza's services Kubi says that "by reason of his activity, valor, zeal, intelligence, and notable unselfishness he is an all-round good officer (un Completto ofiziaT), worthy of being distinguished by His Majesty in remuneration for his services, and as a stimulus to others. " More directly to the poin...t were Rubi's re- marks in praise of Anza as a result of the former's inspection of Tubac. Not only Anza's accounts, but also the declara- tions of his soldiers, showed that he had never done any- thing prejudicial to his troops, but, on the contrary, had always treated them liberally; he had actually reduced prices for them, displaying a generosity which, according to Rubi, was very rare in the frontier provinces. Because of Anza's just administration many people had come to live at Tubac, to the great advantage of all that section, a fact which might in future permit of transferring the presidio to a more advanced point, affording greater opportunity for discoveries and for reducing the Apaches.
