ING THE SUMNER TO SANTA FE, NEW
MEXICO.
Santa Fe, New Mexico, is the Oldest city
in The United States. 1t has reached the
end of its first third of q thousand years
its tertio-millenlal period. The Tertio.M ill
lennial Celebration and Mining and Indus
trial Exposition, which will be inaugurated
there on the Cd of July and close on the 30
of August, will be an event of great hlsto-
rcal 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.
| THE EXPOSITION.
Which will constitute the practical part OF
the celebration, will be an epitome OF tie
mineral agricultural, horticultural, stock
and general industrial resources and capa-
bilites of the Territory. Those, therefore,
who are interested in either mining agri-
culture or stock raising will have q good OPP
portunlty to visit New Mexico this season,
VS. 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 proportionate in
crease in the output of ore was greater than
in any other State OF Territory New Mex
icos 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 cattle and sheep country, too
New Mexico cannot be surpassed. He'
valleys and mesas afford fine grazing
grounds for countless herds. AS the cele
bration at Santa Fe will be the means oI
drawing a 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-raisiDg
to investigate.
THE CELEBRATION.
Besides the practical, the Tertio Millenia
will embrace many features the most move
and romantic. For instance, three days
the 18th, 10th, and Goth of July--will bt
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 century
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 aud dances by
the Pueblos, descendants of the ancient IN
} habitants of the Territory; ambuscades and
: sham fights by the Zunis, with exhibitions
of their peculiar rites and ceremonies, one
of which will be a primitive dance repre-.
sentng the gods and 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 aud
Jicarilla Apaches; exhibitions by Mexican
vacqueros in throwing the larat
mounted tournament, in cos
tunes of three centuries ago
the San Domingo and Sandia feasts, and
other peculiar and interesting ceremonie,
which would take much space and time t.
note.
