tumacacon fortyeight miles south of tucson is a national monument and is be ing preserved lovingly for posterity- j by the national pork service says a correspondent in the los angeles times no one knows accurately when the church of san xavier was built though the name pedro bojorques 1797 is carved on one of the saens- tal doors but this may be merely the name of the man who did the carving and the date when he com pitted his work tradition has it that the church was built by the gaona brothers of ciborca credence is lent to this tradition by the fact that the gaona brothers built the church of pun sima conception de caborca which so much resembles san xavier but whoever the builders they constructed an ed fice that is incom parably the finest church building within the limits of
