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

MEXICO.
Santa Fe, New Mexico, Is the oldest city
in the United States. II has reached the
end of It's first third of a thousand years
its tertio-miIlenlal 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 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 m epitome of the
mineral, agricultural, horticultural, stock
and general industrial resources and capa-
bilties OF the Territory. Those, therefore,
who are interested in either mining, agri-
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 oI Territory. New Mex
co's showing at the mining exposition held
ut 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, brng
high prices upon a ready market, always
accessible in the growing mining towns,
and the cost OF raising Is comparatively
small AS q cattle and sheep country, too,
New Mexico cannot be surpassed Her
valleys and mesas afford fine grazing
grounds for countless herds. AS the cele-
bration at Santa Fe will be the means Of
drawing larger number OF people into the
Territory .aan usual, owing to the cheap
fare, an opportunity will be offered those
who may he interested in stuck-raiSing
to investigate.
THE CELEBRATION.
Besides the practical the Tertio- Millenial
will embrace many features the most novel
and romantic. For instance. three days
the 18th 10Th, and Goth of july-wll be
devoted to the presentation Of historic
scenes. These will represent the period
which has transpirod since the settlement
of the city, each day to represent century
OF history and progress. The three ciyil-
cations will also be represented that
which existed at the time Of the coming Of
the conquerors, that which the Spanlsrds
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
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; ambuscades and
sham fights by the Zunis, with exhibitions
of their peculiar rites and ceremonies, one
Of which will be primitive dance repre-
senting the gods and heroes Of their folk
lore mythology; native Mexican games,
dances and juggling; original Aztec dances,
in which both Mcxicans and Indians will
take part various Mexican sports and the
grand fandango; war and other peculiar
dances by the Mcscalero and
Jicarilla Apaches; exhibitions by Mexican
vacqueros in throwing the lariat
mounted tournament in cos
tunes of three centuries ago;
the San Domingo and Sandia feasts, and
other peculiar and interesting ceremonies
which would take much space and time to
note
