MONTEREY CONSTRUCTION COSTS: Church cost $1,500 vs $5,000 at market rates. Esplanada, casa mata, barracks ~$450. 'I'll give $1,000 to anyone who can do the same.' Savings from: unpaid soldier labor ('never compensated as customary in the Army'), prison labor (only rations), begged naval crews ('for the love of God some sailors to help'). 8 YEARS OF DROUGHT destroyed King's livestock; bears in herds on plains — sierra had no food. Indians stole tools; fugitives and starvation killed cattle
