Arranged chronologically, the Registry reports all the measures ordered at the provincial level. We mention some, but the universe of them is very wide; for example, he warns that, due to the revolution that took place in November 1866, the official actions of the government testify to the need to appoint officials, to collect the weapons of the revolutionaries "with which the masses armed the people" and that, however, They were from the state. The electoral process in the various Departments and jurisdictions culminates with the election of Governor Nicolás A, Villanueva. Among the measures, the agreements on the use of currencies based on the declaration of legal tender of 1863, which established the recognition for payment of Bolivian coins, Napoleons, English sovereigns, the Spanish doubloon, Brazilian kings, United States eagles and Chilean condors, stand out. It also includes the interesting contract for the surveyor Julio Ballofet to carry out the Topographic Map of the province in the part of large crops between the Mendoza River and the foothills of the mountain range, indicating the cultivated surfaces and the land registry of owners.
