ING THE SUMMER TO SANTA FE, NEW


Of. B. . MEXICO.
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 tertio-milenlal period, The Terllo- Mil
lennal Celebration and Mining and Indus
trial Exposition, which will be inaugurated
there on the I'd of July and close on the ID
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 epitome OF tie
mineral, agricultural, horticultural, stock
and general industrial resources and capa-
bilities of the Territory, Those, therefore,
who are interested in either mining, agri-
culture or stock raising will have good OPP
portunity 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 hut begun,
yet in the past year the proporhonate 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 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, Hei
valleys and mesas afford fine grazing
grounds for countless herds. As the cee
bration at Santa Fe will be the means Of
drawing larger number of people into the
Territory than usual, owing to- the cheaI
fare, an opportunity will be offered thos,
who may be interested in stock-raisinl
to investigate.
.I THE CELEBRATION.
Besides the practical, the Terti0- 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
of history and progress. The three civil
cations will also be represented that
winch existed at the time of the coming OF
the conquerors, that which the Spaniard'
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 severa
distinctive expeditions into New Mexico
and the surrounding territory. There will
also be numerous tableaux, the whole com
bning to make one of the most novel and
interesting exhibitions ever witnessed in
this country There will, in addition, be
various Indian games, races and dances by
the Puebos, 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-
senting the gods aud heroes of their folk
lore mythology native Mexican games

in which both Mexicans and Indians will
