RESOURCES.
Santa Fe county has an area of 1,498,0O0
acres and population of 5000. The prin.
cipal occupations are mining, sheep and cat
tie raising, truck farming and fruit growing.
The valley soils are especially adapted to
horticulture and there is at hand a never
failing market in the mining camps.
In the southern portion Of the county
mining forms the principal industry, the
large deposits of coal, lead, silver, iron, cop
per and gold in veins as well as in the form
of placer gold, at Cerrllos New Pacers

But it is to Santa FEES superior climatic
advantages, and its fame as natures most
potent healing power as a cure for consump-
ton and other pulmonary disease that Santa
Fe bases its great future upon. The highest
American medical authorities concede the
superior advantages of the citys location.
The requisites of climate curative of
consumption, are, according to the best
medical testimony, altitude, dryness, cqua-
bility of temperature. light and sunshine,
and porous soil Moreover, if possible,
these must be sought in localities interesting
and attractive, where variety and occIpa-
ton hay be had, and the social advantages
are good.

and as soon - it was possible as many as
could be were removed TO the Weddeli
House annex.
For hours confusion was rampant.
Persons residing in this city who had
relatives or acouaintances in the institu-
tion crowded the stairways aud corridors
in their wild endeavor to ascertain who
were among the injured, and the groans
and screams that came from every room
where physicians were attempting to al
leviate suffering caused strong men TO
shudder and the tears course down their
faces. As described in yesterdays Journal.
Room III was chamber OF horrors 1t
was there that three women. whose bodies
had been licked by the cruel flames until
the flesh dropped of. were taken. and their
agony was such that words fail to de-
scribe it
In the early morning. shortly before the
darkness of that awful night was dissipated
by approaching day. one of the women.
Miss Kate Straughan. OF Memphis Tenn.,
was claimed by the angel of death. which,
IN that case was welcomed with out
stretched hands. Later death also came TO
the relief of Fannie Broaden, another of the
sufferers. Room III had been aptly named
the chamber of horrors"
THE PLACE ovERCRowDED.
In the other rooms the sights and sou nds
were little less sickening, and screams is
sued from every quarter. So many suffer
ers were carried into the annex that. added
with those already there. the hotel soon be-
came overcrowded. There were not suf-
ficient beds to accommodate all the pa
tlents, and upon the floors and in the hall
ways the halt. the lame the crippled and
the suffering were stretched.
The physicians present attended TO the
wants of those fatally injured, but of neces-
slty many were unable to receive the etten-
tion they should have had after such an
awful night OF suspense and suffering:
The scenes presented on the different
floors of the hotel at o'clock this morning
cannot be adequately described. because in
times of need language is perversely made
quate. 1t was impossible to keep down ex-
citement or repress grief. There were
women there who did not know where
their children were-babes that had either
perished in the roaring flames or been res
cued and carried to some unknown place of
safety. But the mothers hearts were
bleeding for their ofsprings and the kind
words of sympathizing persons fell far
short of reinsurance.
People who thought they had friends
cooped mp In the little rooms of the hotel
were frantic In their efforts to gain sdmis-
sion to the building, and it required the
services of two policemen at the entrance
door all the time to keep the throng back.
1t would have been the worst kind of ]udg-
ment to have allowed the crowd admission
to the building, for the place was already
crowded with patients and attendants in o
too great degree.
The rooms of the hotel were in confused
condition. Nothing more GOULD have been
expected. The bed clothes taken from the
main building had been tossed to the
ground beneath and thence carried to the
hotel. There had been no time nor oppor-
tunltv to sweep and dust the rooms and in
their jumbled-up condition they were
thrown open to receive the rescued inmates.

sorrowfui Crowds View the Charred Remains
of the Victims

of the Victims.
Thursday nights horror was the univer-
sal topic of conversation yesterday. All
day long there were throngs of sorrowful
faces about the bodies In the different
morgues.
The unfortunates who were taken to
Kreglo & Whitsett's had been burned
worse than any others. Ii was difficult to
believe that those distorted. charred and
blackened forms were so lately instinct
with life. In the case of four the heads
were almost burned of. From blackened.
shapeless masses protruded bones. whose
extremities were missing.
A most pathetic sight. and one that
touched every heart was that of mother.
supposed to be Mrs. G. 4. Earl. literally
roasted to O crisp. and yet pressing to her
breast atiny child. That both were so
charred and disfigured did not render the
example of mother-love less beautiful
Another instance of o mothers devotion
was the case OF Mrs Lszurus. Being closely
pressed by the flames. she leaped from
window with her little daughter In her
arms. The mothers life was sacrificed, and
the child is 2ot expected to live. A
pathetic lecture Of this ease is related by
Mrs. Larue. a freud ca tho unfortunate
Mrs. Lazarus 1t had been the intention
of the parents to take their child home. but
only last week they decided that. as she
was improving so nicely, they would leave
her some time longer. Mira Lazarus. OF
course, was identified, but Mr.. Kregelo
thinks, as must all who have seen them.
that the other four can never be positively
identified individually.
At Flannsr 81 Buchanan's is only one
body, that of George w. Ellis. said to be
of Terre Haute. His relatives have not
been heard from. His death was caused
by inbaling the flames, as his body was not
burned.
At III. w. Tutewiler's lie three bodies, ell
of which have been identified. Miss Min
ME Arnold's remains are to be shipped to
Lancaster, Mo-, and Miss Iona Payne's
to Dexter. Mimi. Moo ers have been re-
ceived concerning the body of Frank
Burns. These three werc roasted 70 death.
but not so charred as some others.
Powers IL Blackwelrs morgue, opposite
the place of death. holds four of the VIC
Tins. Fred Dockendorf was horribly
burned from head to foot. His face is per-
fectly black, but his arms and breast have
fiery red color. Miss Speice's remains are
charred to q cindcr. with a part OF her
skull burned off. The back part of the
scalp still clings to the skull. William
Ramstack was burned in q fearful manner.
but evidently died from suffocation- Miss
Strawn was also at this morgue. and was
prepared for burial. The father of Miss
Speice arrived last night.

Removing the Bodies Yesterday from the
Ruins Of the Old Annex Building
The RUNS yesterday presented q picture
of desolation, which was heightened by
the sense of frlghtful loss Of life. The
back half of the building was totally de-
stroyed. and lay in the form of ashes in the
cellar. On the second floor front is the re-
mains of DR.. Aliens private Office. and the
similar part on the third floor was
still firm. though much burned.
One-half OF the dining-room on
the second floor was not de-
stroyed. The third floor was occupied
by private rooms of patients. and dormi-
tory holding ten OF fifteen feminine pa
tients, from fourteen to twenty-four years
of age. The most of these escaped by
jumping out upon the roof. That all did
not escape was proven by the fact that five
bodies. two of women and three of children,
were found amid the rubbish on project
ing section Of the second-story floor. They
were burned beyond recognition from the
bodies themselves
The ruin in the 'roost" was the most dis
NAL of all the house. It was here that the
zine victims first discovered found
their death. The tar and gravel
roof had fallen in. and bedding,
clothing and the braces which the unfort-
unates wore were scattered about The
personal effects-clothing, jeweIry. letters,
trInkets-were half consumed or cover ed
with rubbish, and all soaking wet. Nine
watches were recovered by the officers and
firemen. Captain Qulgley found three
purses, one containing $50. Chief Splann
will be at the station-house to-day to de-
liver the watches and other property to
those whose description establishes their
ownership. Morris Peterson. of Blair. Wis,
reported yesterday that his watch and
pocket book, containing s37, were missing.
He had escaped, he said. from his room, No.

escape. His room-mates, Frank Webb and
Mark Cole. were nearly chokad before they
could escape. They had no tlme to dress.
and Peterson left his vest, containing his
watch and money, hanging on the wall.
Detectives Kinney and Page found, also,
on the fourth floor. a necklace, Q gold ring,
bracelet and several dollars in silver. Pa
trolmen Alberts and Simpson found two
men Hs0erman and Foltzenlogle found a
dictionary containing $35 between the
leaves. 1t proved to be the property OF
Mrs. Lazarus, one of the killed. Much
other property OF divers value and kind
was found, which was turned oyer to the
proprietors of the institution. There isyet
much to be found, and. in order to protect
it from thieves. Sergeant Lowe and five pa.
trolmen were detailed to stand guard over
it all night Nobody was allowed to enter
the building.
The front part of the main building
suffered very little from fire. and but f0I
the smoke the patients living on the
second and third floors would not have
been discommoded. The room occupied by
the babies. and known as the nursery, was

Horrible Suspicion Caused by White Ashes
But One Method of Allaying It
Dr.. Allen was asked. yesterday afternoon.
by Journal reporter if 1t would be possi-
BILE to secure a correct list of the inmates in

"It will be impossible to get such list. !"
said he. THE books containing 1t were de-

DR.. Palmer and Mr.. Wilson. manager of
the Weddell House annex, were also asked
if list could be procured. and both stated
that it would be impossible as the books
had been consumed. The reporter
next went to DR.. Markers Office.
He said he had seen q register
containing the names Of the inmates, and
it was from it that he had found out where
the identified dead were from.
Later Dr.. Allen was called up by tele-
phone. and said that some of the books had
been found and IL would be possible to
give full list of the inmates. The Jour-
nal last evening was furnished with list

Scene OF the Disaster and the Morgues
damned All Day Yesterday.
When people woke upyesterday morning
to the fact that death in its most awful
form had claimed a score of victims the ex-
citement became intense. and great crowds
gathered on Illinois and Georgia streets.
near the wrecked building. where they
stood, many of them the whole day through
in snow and slush six inches deep. A
large crowd had witnessed the fire from it's
inception, together with the concurrent
happenings of death and destruction until
daylight. had been satiated with the sight
of the unrecognizable bodies as they had
been carried from the building to the wait
ing ambulances, and had gone away tired
and worn out to seek little rest.
BY daylight fresh crowds began to gather
in tho streets and about the various
morgues where the dead had been taken,
and by o'clock thousands of people were
on the spot. anxious out of q curiosity that
under such circumstances is mex plicable

time been used as an annex to the Surgical
Institute, will never forget the narrowing
scenes and hundreds of heartrending incl
dents that were presented.
Thursday night. when the patients were
rescued from the hungry fury Of the holo-
csust, they were carried across. many of
them. to Griffith's restaurant, which was
thrown open to receive the injured and IN
