THE TERTI0-MILLENNIAL
CHEAP EXCURSION RATES EVERY DAY DUR
ING THE SUMNER TO SANTA FE, NEW
MEXICO.


ING THE SUMNER TO SANTA FE, NEW
MEXICO.
Santa Fe, New Mexico, is the oldest city
in the United States. II has reached the
end of its first third of thousand years
its tertio-millenial period. The Tertio. Mil
lennial Celebration and Mining and Indus
trial Exposition, which will be inaugursted
there on the I'd of July and close on the 3D.
of August, will be an event of great histo-
rical as we'll 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 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-
portunity 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
ico's showing at the mining exposition held
at Denver last season showed, more clearly
than anything else, the vastness of its min
ersl 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, 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. Hel
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 tn,
Territory than usual, owing to the cheal
fare, an opportunity will be offered thos
who may be interested in stock-raisinl
to investigate.
| THE CELEBRATION.
Besides the practical, the Tertio- Millenia
will embrace many features the most move
and romantic. For instance, three days
the 18th, 10th, and Goth of July-will b
devoted to the presentation of hlstori
scenes. These will represent the periot
which has transpired since the settlement
OF the city, each day TO represent q centur
OF history and progress. The three civil
cations will also be represented tina
which existed at the time of the coming O
the conquerors, that which the Spaniard
brought with them and that which followe
the American occupation of l846. Thes
representations will be illustrated by caval
cades in costume, indicative of the severa
distinctive expeditions into New Mexic
and the surrounding territory. There will
also be numerous tableaux, the whole com
bining to make one of the most novel an
interesting exhibitions ever witnessed il
this country There will, in addition, b.
various Indian games, races and dances b
the Puebos, descendants of the ancient IN
habitants of the Territory; smbuscades ant
sham fights by the Zunis, with exhibition
of their peculiar rites and ceremonies on
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 dance,
in which both Mexicans and Indians will
take part; various Mexican sports and tn
grand fandango war and other peculia
dances by the Mescalero an
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, anC
other peculiar and interesting ceremonie
which would take much space and time I,
note.
