Another tradition coming out of the past tells that these ditches were built by the Yuma In- dians when they were driven west- ward by the Comanches and Apaches, and not by the Pueblos. Whea Coronado, the roving ex- plorer, opened this country to the Spaniards he found well-worked frri- gation systems among the Indians; this was in 1540 when he was pushing toward: the_north. irrigation ' was continued under the Franciscan fathers, who constructed the five mission ditches that were found near the present city of San Antonlo.
