  There's a Las Vegas in New Mexico too. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Vegas,_New_Mexico Including Johnson, he and the men to the right are numbered 1, 5, 2, 3, 4. And the man 2nd to the right of the column behind them is numbered with a reversed "6" Here is the key: 1. Jack Johnson 2. W. Burns 3. C. Respress 4. Perkins 5 J. Cannon reversed 6. C. O'Malley Johnson had his training camp in Las Vegas, New Mexico to prepare for his july 4, 1912 bout with Jim Flynn. So this photograph was taken shortly before that date, and probably in front of what is today the address 2008 North Gonzales Street. ref.: lasvegasnmcchp.com/tours/oldtown/4johnson.htm maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=...
