U. S. GRAND JURY 1883

RARE PHOTO OF THE U.S. GRAND JURY IN SOCORRO N.M.- In the early 1880s, Socorro was the center of a frenetic mining boom, with thousands of silver and lead ore deposits located in and about the area. The town was incorporated in 1884, and became a center of commerce and agriculture, as well. Here we see a group of men identified as the U.S. Grand Jury standing on the steps of the courthouse. Slightly underdeveloped, but a fine image, nevertheless. The picture has been cut from an old photo album.
