THE TERTIO- MILLENNIAL
CHEAP EXCURSION RATES EVERY DAY DUR
ING THE SUMMER TO SANTA FE, NEW
MEXICO,

MEXICO.
Santa Fe, New Mexico is the oldest cit,
in The United States. 1t has reached III,
end Of It's fist third of a thousand years
its ter,io-mil)enial period. The Tertio. Mi
lennial Celebration and Mining and Indus
trial Exposition, which will be inaugurateC
there ON the 2d of July and close on the 30
of August, will be an event OF great histo
rical as well rs 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 Al epitome of the
mineral agricultural, horticultural, stock
and general industrial resources and capa-
blites of the Territory. Those, therefore,
who are interested in either mining, agri-
culture or stock raising will have good OPP
portunlty to visit New Mexico this season,
Us 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 proportlonate 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 u cattle and sheep country, too,
New Mexico cannot be surpassed. Her
valleys and mesas afford fine grazing
grounds for countless herds. As the cele-
hration 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- NJ ilIenis
Will brace 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 century
OF history and progress. The three civ:li
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-
cades In costume, indicative of the several
distinctive expeditions into New Mexico
and the surrounding territory. There will
also he numerous tableauX, the whole com
bining to make one Of the most novel and
exhibitions ever witnessed in
tins country. There will, in addition, be
various Indian games, races and dances by
the Pueblos, descendants of the ancient IN.
habitants Of the Territory; smbuscadcs and
sham lights 10y the Luns, 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

Jicarilla Apaches exhibitions by Mexican
vacqueros in throwing the larat;
