Later from Mazatlan

By the arrival of the steamship Oregon we have later dates from Mazatlan.

The first number of the Mazatlan Times, a weekly newspaper, was published on the 12th may. A.D. Jones, the editor, is an American, but whether Union or Secession in politics is not discoverable from his paper.

Don. C. Jesus Garcia Morales has been appointed Governor of Sinaloa.
The American warship Narragansett is at Mazatlan.

The first American stage line in Sinaloa was established on the 1st instant, by S.P. Bowman, formerly of San Francisco. The line connects Mazatlan and Noria; distance 115 miles.

There is regular communication between Mazatlan and Texas, in twenty-five days time.
A lot 75 by 70 varas, on the corner of Recreo and Carneval streets, in Mazatlan, sold lately for $18,500.

The rainy season is about to commence in Northwestern Mexico.

George E. Bond, formerly of Marysville, was killed in a fight between some Constitutionalists and a body of Lozardas men, at Rosamorada, 190 miles from Mazatlan.
Gen. Morales has issued a decree making American coin a legal tender.
We clip the following item from the Times

One great drawback to the successful working of many mines in this country is the small sums sent down by the capitalists of San Francisco and trustees of companies. If they expect to reap large results, they must come out more liberally.
