CHEAP EXCURSION RATES EVERY DAY DUR
ING THE SUMMER TO SANTA FE, NEW
MRyIrn

Santa Fe, New Mexico, is the Oldest city
in The United States. 1t has reached the
end of it's first third of thousand years
its teriio-millenia period. The Tertio. Mil
lennial Celebration and Mining and Indus
trial Exposition, which will be inaugurated
there on the I'd of July and close on the 3D.
OF August, will be an event OF great hsto-
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 cspa-
bilties Of the Territory. Those, therefore,
who are interested in either mining, agri-
culture or stock raising will have good OPP
porunlty to visit New Mexico this season,
rs 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 proportonate 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 vastnoss 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. Her
valleys and mesas afford fine grazing
grounds for countless herds. As the cee-
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 stock-rsising
to investigate.

which has trapspired since the settlement
of the city, each day 10 represent century
of history and progress. The three civil
cations will also be represented-tha'
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
aud the surrounding territory. There VII
