In 1842-43 it was occupied by friendly Apache. It w-as again a garrison in 1851, consisting of a collection of dilapidated buildings and huts, about half of which were tenantless, and also a church partly in ruins; its population was then about 100. In 1858-60, besides a mixed popu- lation of Mexicans and Americans, Tubac contained a temporary camp of 100 Papago. (f. w. h.) San Ignacio.—Bancroft, Ariz, and N. Mex., 383, 1889. S.
