MEXICO
Santa Fe, New Mexico is the oldest city
| in .he United States 1t has reached the
end of its first third of q thousand years
| its tertio-Ipil)enlal period. The Terio. Mil
lennial Celebration and Mining and Indus
trial Exposition, which will be naugurated
there on the I'd of July and close on the 3D.
of August, will be an event Of great hlsto.
| rical us well as practical importance 10 the

third anniversary of the Spanish settlement
of the place.
THE EXPOSITION,
Which will constitute the practical part Of
the celebration, will bean epitome of the
mineral agricultural, horticultural, stock
| and general industrial resources and capa-
bllities Of the Territory. Those, therefore,
who are interested in either mining, agri-
culture or stock raising will have good OPP
porlumty to visit New Mexico this season,
| rs the low fare will be great induccment
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
co's showing at the mining exposition held
at Denver last season showed more clearly
than anything else, the vastness of its min
| era wealth.
II 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 he made to
yield immensely, and there is no pursuit
more remunerative than that of farming
Agricultural products, Of all kinds, bnng
hgh 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 celc-
0ration ut Santa Fe will be the means Of
drawing larger number Of people into the
Territory taan usual, owing TO the cheap
fare, an opportunity will be offered those
who may be interested in stock-raising
to investigate.
