Governor Torres was concerned that la Chua's massive workforce was not properly supervised
There were enough peons [at la Chua without the owner] in 1699 for Governor Laureano de Torres y Ayala (1693-1700?) to show concern that they all attend mass, and that Apalaches not leave their families to work at la Chua on contract. In that year, the ranch paid 35% of all the cattle taxes collected: 77 head. The next largest ranch paid only fifteen head of cattle. (Florencia Visita of 1694-1695.)
