the artisan-instruction program (Argüello ↔ Arrillaga ↔ Padre Presidente Lasuén). — Craftsmen recruited (per Gov. Pedro Fages's request, relayed via the Viceroy's *providencias* + Arrillaga's 18 Sep order) at high wages to teach trades to the mission neophytes. Argüello reports conditions/destinations, excludes the tailors (*sastres*), will return the unfit to San Blas, reports every 6 months; refs Engineer Miguel de Costansó's instructions + the Fiscal de Real Hacienda; the artisans' families aided at Guadalajara. ⭐ Lasuén's distribution roster (named craftsmen → posts): Monterey presidio church — masons Santiago Ruiz (maestro), Salvador Rivera, Pedro Alcántara; Mission San Carlos — masons Manuel Ruiz (maestro), Joaquín Rivera; Mission Santa Clara — carpenter/mill-builder Cayetano López + tanner/shoemaker Miguel Sangrador; Mission San Francisco — blacksmith/armorer Pedro González García. Note: most brought no tools except the tanner, blacksmith & master mason; a master + 2 masonry *oficiales* assigned to finish the Monterey presidio church (Viceroy's order of 7 Apr 1792). → the presidio-decay dossier (skilled-labor program), mission economy.
