An indian Pueblo had existed on the site pre-
vlous to the 10th century. Its name was
O-ga-p'ho-ge, but it was abandoned
before Coronados time. The Spanish town
OF Santa Fe was founded in 1905, it is there
fore the second Oldest European settlement

The city lies in charming nook on the
west side of the Santa Fe range and is shell.
tered from the northern winds by spur of
low hills which extend from the mountains
west as far as the Rio Grande. 1t lies in the
center of the valley at the mouth of a pictur.

torlc interest than any other place on the
North American continent. Land may be
purchased at prices to snit the rich or the

Will produce more than can be produced
anywhere else in the world. Our markets
