Show KINO'S SEVENTH ARIZONA ENTRADA, 1699. 545 San Mateo de Caut, San Matias Tutum, San Tadeo de Vaqui, and San Simon Tucsani. On the 28th they reached the great bend, which they cut off by going east March 1; on the 2d descried from a hill the Rio Verde, and camped that night at a Piman ranch-eria they called San Bartolome del Comae, above the mouth of the Verde or Salado ( but compare Kino's map of 1701, where places are marked along the Gila to the Salado as follows: Tota, Tutomagoidag, Sicoroidag, S. Simon Tucsani, Santiago, S. Tadeo Batqui, and S. Felipe). On the 3d, at 10 leagues above Rio Salado, they were at San Andres de Coata, which was as far down as they had come in 1697; they went on past Encarnacion, apparently to Casas Grandes, on the 4th; turned southward to Santa Cata-rina, 5th; continued to San Agustin Oiaur ( Tucson), 6th; and reached San Xavier del Bac on the 7th. The rest of the homeward journey was by San Cayetano de Tumagacori or Tumacacori, Guevavi, Bacuancos, Cocospera, Remedios, to Dolores March 14, 1699. The same year of 1699 the superior of the Sonoran missions was Father Antonio Leal, who wished to make an inspection. So he and Kino, with Father Francisco Gonzalez ( or Antonio Gonsalvo), and the print for Martires], y el Salado, cl Verde, y los dos de los sobaipuris que sc juntan con este [ Gila], dijo se llamasen de los Evangelistas." |
