1t will therefore be seen that Will,
Santa Fe possesses the delightful cimat,
of sanitarium, she is not devoid of in
terest. The health seeker should neve
go to dull place. Ennui and lstless
ness are the handmaidens of disease
Here is interest for the studious histor
ian, the gay sportsman or the mere sight
seer. If you have energy enough to NOV
around you can not be dull amid sucl
surroundings.
NATURAL BEAUTY.
Even the inveterately lazy can enjo,
life here also if they have money. To thu
east Old Badly lifts snowy dome il
winter, and his steeply sloping forestet
sides in summer rival his winter beauty
In the winter the full moon at night ant
the sun by day turn his crest into
diadem of brilliants. To the west tn,
Jemez and Vale mountains, scarcely les
grand than the Santa Fe range reflect thu
sunsets in a hundred glorious tones, Will
their purple bases lend an ideal back
ground for all this splendor.

situations located here, in spacious ant

RESOURCES.
Santa Fe county has an area of 1,498,0O(
acres and population of about 1900
The city itself contains over 10000 actue
residents. The valley soils are especially
adapted to fruit raising, and the product
is of the finest flavor and appearances
Peaches sweet as a nectarine, plums anG
apricots, large and luscious, apples, pears
berries and all the hardy fruits flourish in
abundance, usually commanding better
and more remunerative market than ever
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 as fine as ru
bies, and topaz, also; both bituminous and
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 magnificent
water works system just east of town, fur.
nishing water under 40 pounds pressure
Allthe modern improvementsint 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 to
hurry their construction.
TIE WATERS OF SANTA n.
DR.. J. F. Banter, vice president of the
American Health Resort association, says
at is worth travelling miles to- drink OF
such waters as flow through this deep cut
in the mountains and supply the city OF
Santa Fe for domestic purposes and for
irrigation of the fruit farms. The water
is absolutely pure, cold and fresh from
the melting SHOWS above, or trickling
from springs in the mountain side. 1t is
free from all lime, alkali or other ingre-
dents so very injurious to the consum D.
tive patient. Such water is great boon
anywhere and at any time, but here, where
other features of sunshine and pure air
combine to produce an ideal climate, il
is of special value"
THE MILITARY POST,
Fl. Marcy, at Santa, Fe is the oldest
established military station on American
soil. The Spaniards occupid it as such
in 1902. Old Fort Marcy was built by
Gen. Kearney in 1916; and the present
site was occupied in 1850; the post is
garrisoned by headquarters, the band
and two companies of the 10th U. s. in
fantry under command of Col. E. P.
Pearson; its location here adds greatly to
Santa Fe's attractions socially and COM
mercially. The military band stationed
here is one of the best in the army and
renders delightful music daily in the
public plaza for the pleasure of citizens.
