ING THE SUMNER TO SANTA FE, NEW
MEXICO.
Santa Fe, New Mexico, is the oldest city
in the United States. ct has reached the
end of its first third of thousand years
its tertio-millenal period. The Tcrtio Mil
lennial Celebration and Mining and Indus
trial Exposition, which will be inaugurated
there on the I'd Of July and close on the Sd
of August, will be an event of great histo
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
THE EXPOSITION,
Which will constitute the practical part OF
the celebration, will be an cpltome Of tie
mineral agricultural, horticultural, stock
and general industrial resources and capa-
blites of the Territory. Those, therefore,
who are interested in either mining, agrl-
culture or stock raising will have good OPP
pOrtunlty 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 proporuOnate 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 vic 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. Her
valleys and mesas afford fine grazing
grounds for countless herds. AS the ceIe-
braton 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 stockraising
to investigate.
THE CELEBRATION
Besides the practical, the Tertio- illenial
will embrace many features the most novel
and romantic, For instance. three days
the 18th, 10Th, and Goth Of July-wlll be
| devoted to the presentation Of historic
scenes. These will represent the period
which has transpred since the settlement
OF the city, each day to represent 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
binng to make one of the most novel and
| interesting exhibitions ever witnessed in
this country, There will, in addition, be

other peculiar and interesting ceremonies
which would take much space and time to
note.
