MEXICO.
Santa Fe, New Mexico, is the Oldest city
in the United States. 1t has reached the
end Its first third of thousand years
its tertio-milIenlal period. The Tertio- Mil
lennial Celebration and Mining and Indus.
trial Exposition, which will be inaugursted
there on the % of July and close on the Sd
OF August, will be al event of great hlsto.
rical rs 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
aud 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
portunlty 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 but begun
yet In the past year the proportionate in.
crease in the output Of ore was greater than
IN any other State OF Territory. New Mex.
lcos showing at the mining exposition held
AT Denver last season showed, more clearly
than anything else, the vastness of it's min
eral wealth.
It 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 remuneratlve 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 a cattle and sheep country, too,
New Mexico cannot be surpassed. Her
valleys and messs afford fine grazing
grounds for countless herds. Az the cele.
bra,ion 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.rasinp
