CUSTOM HOUSE REMOVAL SHOCKS REGIONS IN 1692 PLAN
A letter from Wm. Heyn reports a placard ordering the custom house removal to Fronteras on Jan 1 1692. The new frontier house will guard San Pedro with a chief and two guards, halting imports and exports through there from Jan 1 892. Citizens fear hardship for mines around Campus Oposata Montexuns and Arizpe districts and note broader political motives behind the move.
