1t will therefore De seen that while
Santa Fe Possesses the delightful climate
of sanitarium, she is not devoid of ain
terest The health seeker should never
go to a dull place. Ennui and lstless
ness are the handmaidens of disease.

ian, the gay sportsman or the mere sight
seer. If you have energy enough to move
around You can not be dull amid such
surroundings.
NATURAL BEAUTY.
Even the moderately lazy can enjoy
life here also if they have money. To the
east Old Badly lifts snowy dome in
winter, and his steeply sloping forested
sides in summer rival his winter beauty
In the winter the full moon at night and
! the sun by day turn his crest into a
] diadem of brilliants. To the west the
Jemez and Vale mountains, scarcely less
grand than the Santa Fe range reflect the
sunsets in hundred glorious tones, while
their purple bases lend an ideal back
ground for all this splendor.

situations located here in spacious and
attractive modern buildings, are the u.

pEaOupcra
Santa Fe county has an area of l $4,000
acres and population of about 10000
The city itself contains over 10000 actual
residents. The valley soils are especially
adapted to fruit raising, and the product
is of the finest favor and appearances
Peaches sweet as nectarine, plums and
apricots, large and luscious, apples, pears,
berries and all the hardy fruits flourish in
abundance, usually commanding better
and more remunerative market than even
the California fruits. The cloudless, sun
ny days bring out all their fruity and
saccharine qualities.
Large mineral deposits, including gold
silver, precious stones, principally the
turquoise and garnets nearly MS fine as ru-
bies, and topaz also; both bituminous aud
anthracite coal are found in giant veins
The two kinds sometimes run in parallel
veins in the same mine. In addition to
this "natural coke" is found.
PROSPECTIVE RESOURCES.
The Chicago Municipal & Investment
company has completed a magnificent
water works system just east of town, fur
nishing water under 40 pounds pressure
Allthe modern improvements in the way OF
aereation, etc, are provided. In addition
thereto preliminary work is now being
conducted on reservoirs and canals that
will irrigate over 100000 acres of splen
did land in and around the city. These
will undoubtedly be completed within two
years, as every effort is being made tt
hurry their construction.
THE WATERS OF SANTA FEE.
DR.. j. r. Banter, vice president of thu
American Health Resort association, says
SIT is worth travelling miles to drink o
such waters as flow through this deep Gu
in the mountains and supply the city o
Santa Fe for domestic purposes and fo
irrigation of the fruit farms. The waite
, is absolutely pure, cold and fresh from
! the melting SHOWS above, or tricklint
from springs in tho mountain side. 1t i
free from all lime, alkali or other ingrc
. dents SO very injurious to the consump
tive patient. Such water is a great BOOB
=. anywhere and at any time, but here, wher
other features of sunshine and pure al
. combine to produce an ideal climate, i
| is of special value"
