[[underline]] May 11 [[/underline]] - Left Silver City for the GOS Ranch at 7:30, Raining & squally.  Came through [[Autral?]], which is close to Ft. Baird, then through Santa Rita, then over the ridge and down onto the Mimbres at the old town of Mimbres, then about 11 miles up the river and over onto the head of [[Sappelo?]] creek and down at a few miles to the G.O.S. Ranch, a beautiful place in wide, park like valley.  The [[Sappelo?]] is a branch of the Gila.  Came 40 miles from Silver City, but in a round about way. The country is rough and [[roads?]] are scarce, steep and stony in places.  Most of the country is dry but there is a little water in the creeks at Silver, Central, and Santa Rita and the Mimbres is a pretty little river too wide to jump across.
