Unused. Signed by secretary James A Lucas and president Samuel G Jones. Some discoloration bleed. But the stock itself is in near perfect condition otherwise. Vignette of Native American. Printed by Mesilla TImes. April 2-5, 1860, a Constitutional Convention was held at Tucson. Thirty-one delegates were present. The Constitution ordained and established a provisional government to remain in force until Congress should organize a Territorial Government. This Territory included all of New Mexico south of latitude 33 degrees, 40 minutes, and was subdivided into four counties. James A. Lucas was president of the convention. Lucas would go on to become Secretary of the Territory. This mining company was part of an incredible story. Confederate Arizona (Arizona Territory) was claimed by the Confederate States of America. The territory was officially declared on August 1, 1861, following the Confederate victory at the Battle of Mesilla. The Confederate hold in the area was broken after the Battle of Glorieta Pass, March 26–28, 1862, the defining battle of the New Mexico Campaign. In July 1862, the government of the Confederate Territory of Arizona relocated to El Paso, Texas. With the approach of Union troops, it withdrew to eastern Texas, where it remained for the duration of the war. The territory continued to be represented in the Confederate Congress, and Confederate troops continued to fight under the Arizona banner until the war's end. When the American government redrew the borders for Arizona, parts - including Mesilla - were placed into New Mexico. (Prag Collection) State: Arizona City: Meislla Date: c1861
