THE TERTI0- MILLENNIAL
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. 1t has reached the
end of its first third of thousand years
its ter,iomilenal period The Tertio. Mil
ennial Celebration and Mining and Indus
trial Exposition, which will be inaugurated
there on the Cd of July and close on the Sd
of August, will be an event OF great hlsto.
rical as we'll as practical importance to the
country at large. 1t is intended to com
memora,e 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 eptOme Of the
mineral, agricultural, horticultural, stock
and general industrial resources and capa-
bilities of the Territory. Those, therefore,
who ere interested in either mining, agr-
culture or stock raising will have good OPP
portunlty to visit New Mexico this season,
IS the low fare will he 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 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
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 remuneIative than that OF farming,
Agricultural products, of all kinds, bring
high prices upon ready market, always
accessible in the growing mining towns,
aud the cost Of raising is comparatively
small AS 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 a 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-raising
to investigate.
THE CELEBRATION.
Besides the practical, the Tertio- Milenial

and romantic. For instance, three days

which has transpired since the settlemen,
of the city, each day TO represent century
OF history and progress. The three civil
cations will also be represented that
which existed at the time of the coming Of
the conquerors, that which the Spaniardc
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 severa
distinctive expeditions into New Mexico
and the surrounding territory. There vii
