Report Of The Secretary Of The Territory 1903-1904, Legislative Manual'' ((1905 ))〕〔New Mexico State Corporation Commission, ''(Annual Report of the State Corporation Commission )'' (1913) p.178〕 The Spiegelberg brothers were also associated with the Willison Mining Company, as members of the board of directors, in 1872. It has been reported that Lehman Spiegelberg may have acquired the San Marcos Pueblo grant because of his interest in copper mining. It has been written that the Spiegelbergs were probably familiar with Indian agent William F. M. Arny's reports〔Malcolm Ebright, ''Advocates for the Oppressed: Hispanos, Indians, Genízaros, and Their Land in New Mexico'' (2014) p.173〕 and newspaper articles on minerals in the area following his 1868 travels through Ute-controlled Tierra Amarilla, where he came into contact with mining parties. (Arny also served as Territorial secretary under governor Henry Connelly, for whom he served as acting governor for about half a year between 1862-3, during Connelly's illness.) Indian agents served as active promoters for mining development in New Mexico.〔David Correia, ''Properties of Violence: Law and Land Grant Struggle in Northern New Mexico'' (2013) pp.41-44〕 In 1863 Richard Jenkins, chief engineer of the operation, published the ''Report of the Montezuma Copper Mining Company of Santa Fe, New Mexico''.〔Richard Jenkins, ''(Report of the Montezuma Copper Mining Company of Santa Fe, New Mexico )'' (1863) @worldcat.org〕 Gilbert E. Currie listed the operation as follows in 1864: Capital $1,500,000. President: Ephraim Marsh; Vice President, B. G. Clarke; Secretary and Treasurer, David S.
