Socorro New Mexico Emerges as Mining Hub and Town
Socorro and surrounding county in New Mexico emerge as a booming mining and smelting center with Gustav Billing’s large smelter and the Graphic mining works driving jobs for about 150 workers. The Ruby mine strike near Magdalenas sparks regional interest and new investment as miners flood to the area. The community boasts mills, breweries, factories, and a growing rail network linking Magdalena and Kelly to Socorro.
