NATURAL BEAUTY.
Even the inveterately lazy can enjoy
life here also if they have money. To the
east Old Baldy 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.
PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS.
Among the more important public IN
situations located here, in spacious and
attractive modern buildings, are the U.
y. court and federal office building, the
territorial capitol, st. Vincent's sani-
tarium, territorial penitentiary, New Mex.

fit of health-seekers.
The U. s. court of private land claims
is in session here throughout most of the

geological interest, are instructive, not
only to the lawyer but to the layman.
