 Friday 1 rested, devoting most of the day to feeding up the mule for the long ride of more than 100 miles to La Colorado she had to make Saturday and Sunday.
 Saturday morning l started from Realito at daylight, following the road we had taken to the San Felipe mine, passing also the Pro- valencia, a fine goldproperty owned by Messrs. Charles R. Miles of Her. mosillo, and Marshall Barnes of La Colorado.
 By the way 1 have heretofore failed to make mention of the fact that Realito is in the Guay- mas district, and that the San Felipe mines are cut by the line between that and the Ures districts Announcements in both districts covering the properties; 50 I was again in the Ures district when fairly set out upon my journey. In this particular the Herbert map is in error, showing the Hermosillo district extending to the Yaqui river, including the site where To- ledo IS now located, and San An tonic de la Huerta, as well as Realito in that district, when the two former named places are in the Ures district and the latter in Guaymas. The Hermosillo dis trict extends upon the east only to and including San Javier and La Barranca. The Ures projects a narrow strip between those places and the river, which joins the Guaymas district four miles north from Realito. There are similar discrepancies in the Herbert map with regard to the lines of other districts. As THE OASIS has here tofore stated when the Herbert map was made an official change in district lines was projected, and MT. Herbert presented the lines in- tended, but they were never adopted.
 The first seven leagues, to Obis- DO, the route was rough and slow of travel, after leaving the Ortiz wagon road. It led ur deep and tortuous caflons, and has been 50 little travelled that the trail is in- distinct, and in many places so overgrown with vegetation that 1t was easily missed. Several times | passed 1t in the bottom of a cahon, on that very account, and shortly found myself in front of an impossible cliff, rendering 1t neces- sary to go back down the canon to find where the trail had lifted to go around.
 1t was near noon when l reached Obispo, and the next rancho, Lodi Campo I passed about three o'clock in the afternoon. These ranches lie westward from La Barranca and San Javier, and between them I passed almost within sight of the road between San Javier and Las Goteras 1 followed going out nearly month before.
 On account of the Yaqui trouble travel and traffic are very light and during all the day l passed only one small pack train going to Nina Grande, beyond San .Javier That had come around via Coba che to Tecoripa, the straight and much shorter route being consi- dered too dangerous.
 From Lodi Campo to Tecoripa the distance of eight leagues was ..a..a.f,t =, E..1 Batrwe. s,I | hn x e

ANOTHER FLOATER SUNK.
Found Guilty of Illegal Voting-
Booked for Sing Sing. \

Richard West. a steamftter of No. COL East
14th-st.. was convicted yesterday as an illegal
voter in the recent election. Having put the
county to the expense of trial in the criminal
branch of the Supreme Court. w est is expected
to receive heavier sentence to hard labor at
Sing Sing than inflicted on several men
who pleaded guilty to illegal voting last month
He was remanded to the Tombs yesterday for
sentence next Thursday.
West tried to vote in the name of Daniel Moore
in the 18th Election District of the 18th Assem-
bly, District. Unluckily for him. another Tam
many "foater' had started to vote in Moore's
name earlier In the day and had become scared,
and this had attracted the attention of the cleo
ton officers to Moore's name When West had
procured ballot he was challenged by
Sweitzer of George w. Morgan's deputies.
West tore up the ballot in his hand and fed
from the polling place, but was caught in the
street by SweitZer.
Vests defence at his trial yesterday was that
he had been mistaken by Sweitzer for the
illegal voter and that the deputy had picked up
the wrong man in the street. Justice Rogers
asked Sweitzer if he had kept the illegal
voter in view all the time of the pursuit, and
Sweitzer said he had. The jury took only a few
minutes to reach verdict of guilty in the case.
