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

mEAlCU,
Santa Fe New Mexico, is the Oldest city
in the United States. 1t has reached the
end OF its first third OF thousand years
its terio-millenial period. The Tertio. Mil
Iennial Celebration and Mining and Indus
trial Exposition, which will be inaugurated
there on the I'd Of July and close on the Sd /
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 4
the celebration, will be an epitome of the
mineral, agricultural, horticultural, stock
and general industrial resources and cspa-
bilities of the Territory. Those, therefore,
who are interested in either mining, agri-
culture or stock-raising will have good op-
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 hut 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
ico's showing at the mining exposition held
at Denver last season showed, more clearly
than anything else, the vastness Of it's 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 y
exposition will be seen samples of all sorts
OF fruits and field products which vie with
those Of prolific Kansas. With irrigauons
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 a 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 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 than usual, owing to the cheap
fare, an opportunity will be offered thosef
who may be interested in stock.raising
to investigate.
THE CELEBRATION.
Besides the practical, the Tertio. Millenisl
will embrace many features the most novel
and romantic. For instance, three days
the 18th, 10Th, and Goth of Juy-will be-
| devoted TO the presentation Of hlstorct
scenes These will represent the period
which has transpired since the settlementI
of the city, each day 10 represent a century,
OF history and progress. The three civlli|
cations will also be represented that
which existed at the time of the coming Of
\ the conquerors, that which the Spanisrds
brought with them and that which followed
the American occupation Of 1916. These
representations will DC illustrated by cava
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,
| bniDg u 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 Pueblos, descendants of the ancient In
habitants Of the Territory; ambuscades and
