| NATURAL BEAUTY.
Even the inveterately 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.

THE WATERS OF SANTA IN. ..
DR.. ]. F. Banter, vice president of tn,
American Health Resort association, says
ut 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 fol-
irrigation of the fruit farms. The water
is absolutely pure, cold and fresh from
the melting SHOWS above, or tricklinc
from springs in the mountain side. 1t il
free from all lime, alkali or other ingre
dents SO very injurious to the consump
tive patient. Such water is great boor
anywhere and at any time, but here, where
other features of sunshine and pure al,
combine to produce an ideal climate, II
is of special value"
