Show 536 KINO'S ENTRADAS OF 1694. to Dolores, by nearly the same route, was accomplished on the 23d. Among places mentioned by Mange on this excursion are: Tupocuyos, San Miguel Bosna or Bosua, Laguna de Oacue, alias San Barto-lome, Rancheria de Pitiqui, Caborca, San Valentin, Cerro Nazareno, and Paraje de las OUas- from which last it was nine leagues to the coast. Four Californian hills, seen on the contracosta across the gulf, were called Santos Evangelistas; an island with three hills, Tres Marias; and the supposed Seri island of Tiburon, San Agustin ( now Angel de la Guarda). This journey was soon repeated; for Kino and Mange left Dolores Mar. 16, 1694, to visit the Sobas again with the intention of having a boat built to carry supplies to Salvatierra; but it was never completed. This time they went by Santa Maria Mag-dalena to San Pedro Tubutama, then a mission under Father Daniel Januske, or Januusqui, sometimes Jarniuke, who had taken charge in 1693. They descended the river past places they called Santa Teresa, San Antonio de Oquitoa or Uquitoa and El Altar*- the latter name has stuck to the place, and become that of the whole river- to Caborca on the 20th; hav- * Mange says, p. 244, that being at the rancheria de San Antonio de Uquitoa, " proseguimos 2 leguas adelante al remate del * rio, que aqui se sume 4 un paraje que llamamos el Altar," etc. This was where the river ceased to run. |
