THE TERTIo-M ILLENNIAL

MEXICO.
Santa Fe, New Mexico, is the Oldest CITY
in the United States, Ii has reached the
end of its first third of thousand years
its ter,io- millenial period, The TertioM Mil
lennial Celebration and Mining and Indus.
trial Exposition, which will be inaugurated
there on the Cd of July and close on the Sd
of August will be an event of great hlsto-
rical as well as practical Importance to the
country at large. 1t is intended to COM
memorate the three hundred and thirty
third anniversary OF the Spanish settlement
OF the place.
f-t THE EXPOSITION,
Which will constitute the practical part OF
the celebration, will be an epitome OF the
mineral, agricultural, horticultural STOCK
aud general industrial resources anu capa-
bilities OF the Territory. Those therefore,
who are interested in either mining, agri-
culture or stock raising will have agood OPP
portuplty to visit New Mexico this season,
as the low fare will be great inducement
to make the trip. The development OF the
mines of this vast region has but begun,
yet in the past year the proportlonaie IN
crease in the output of ore was greater than
in any other State OF Territory. New Mex.
ico's showing at the mining exposition held
at Denver last season showed, more clearly
than anything else, the vastness OF its min
eral wealth.
1t has been the general belief heretofore
that agriculture in New Mexico would not
pay This is an unfortunate error. AT the
exposition will be seen samples of all sorts
of fruits and field products which vie with
those of prolific Kansas With irrigation
the soil of the Territory can be made to
yield immensely, and there is no pursuit
more remunerative than that of farming.
Agricultural products, of all kinds, bring
high prices upon ready market, always
accessible in the growing mining towns
and the cost of raising is comparatively
small. As a cattle and sheep country, too,
New Mexico cannot be surpassed. Her
valleys and mesas afford fine grazing
grounds for countless herds. AS the cele-
bration at Santa Fe will be the means of
drawing larger number of people into the
Territory than usual, owing to the cheap
fare an opportunity will be offered those
who may be interested in stock-raising
to investigate.
THE CELEBRATION.
Besides the practical, the Tertio- Milenial
will embrace many features the most novel
and romantic. For instance, three days
the 18th, 10th, and Goth Of July-will be
devoted to the presentation Of historic
scenes. These will represent the period
which has transpired since the settlement
of the city, each day to represent a century
of history and progress. The three civil
cations will also be represented that
which existed at the time of the coming of
the conquerors, that which the Spaniards
brought with them and that which followed
the American occupation of 1916. These
representations will be illustrated by caval-
cadcs in costume, indicative of the several
distinctive expeditions into New Mexico
and the surrounding territory. There will
also be numerous tableaux, the whole com
bining to make one of the most novel and
interesting exhibitions ever witnessed in
this country. There will, in addition, be
various Indian games, races and dances by
the Pueblos, descendants of the ancient In
habtants of the Territory; ambuscades and
sham fights by the Zuns, with exhibitions
of their peculiar rites and ceremonies, one
OF which will be primitive dance repre-
senting the gods aud heroes Of their folk
lore mythology; native Mexican games
dances and Juggling; original Aztec Dances
in which both MexiCans and Indians will
take part; various Mexican sports and the
grand fandango; war and other peculiar
dances by the Mescalero and
Jicarilla Apaches; exhibitions by Mexican
vacqueros in throwing the lariat;
mounted tournament, in cos.
tunes of three centuries ago
the San Domingo and Sandia feasts, and
other peculiar and interesting ceremonies
which would lake much space and time to
note. N f6eh
