| With the consent of the United States Senate, the President of the United States appointed the Secretary of the Territory. The primary duties were to keep all original acts and resolutions of the Territorial Legislature, to prepare copies of all laws and resolutions for publication; to make and preserve a full and complete record of all proceedings of the Board of Territorial Auditors; to file with the Territorial Treasurer the abstract of each mining company report and all other reports and proceedings filed or deposited to which a fee was connected; and to record all deeds and title evidences in the Territory and cause them to be accurately platted. In addition to the above duties, the Secretary of the Territory served as acting Territorial Governor when the Governor was ill or left the state. The Secretary of the Territory also acted as scribe for the Territorial Governor, so researchers should look at thses papers for governor's correspondence. |
