MEXICO.
Santa Fe, New Mexico, is the oldest city
in .he United States. 1t has reached the
end Of its first third of thousand years
Its terto-milenlal period The Tertio Mil.
Iennial 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 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.
THE EXPOSITION,
| Which will constitute the practical part of
the celebration, will be an epitome OF the
mineral, agricultural, horticultural, stock
| and general industrial resources and Capa-
| bllities OF the Territory. Those, therefore,
who are interested in either mining, agr-
| culture or stock raising will have good OPP
| portunty to visit New Mexico this season,
IS the low fare will be a great induCement
to make the trip. The development of the
mines OF this vast region has but begun,
yet In the past year the proportlonate 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 he 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 remunetatve than that Of farming
Agricultural products, Of all kinds, bnng
high prices upon u 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 messs afford fine grazing
grounds for countless herds. As the ce,e-
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.
