Apache Tejo

It may have been derived from the name of a Chihenne leader of the 1770s, Pachiteju,[3] but other accounts called it Apache de Ho(o), which might mean 'Apache water'.

After Floyd joined the Confederacy, it was renamed to honor a Captain George McLane, who had been killed by Navajos.

[5] [Dean Duke] did and said many things which reminded me of the Virginian Owen Wister, "father of western fiction", visited the Apache Tejo ranch in 1895.

He described it as "a little oasis of hay field, cottonwoods, a spring, and some flowers and grass in front of the adobe house".

[6] The Apache Tejo Hot Springs, with water issuing at 94 °F, were used as a water source by the Chino Copper company for the Chino mine; the company built a pumping station and a wooden pipeline to Hurley.
