Even the inveterately lazy can enjoy
life here also if they have money. To thu
east Old Badly lifts a snowy dome ir

sides IN summer rival his winter beauty
In the winter the full moon at night and
the sun by day turn his crest into q
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.

RESOURCES.
Santa Fe county has an area of ,498, GOO
acres and population of about 1900.
The city itself contains over 10000 actual
residents. The valley soils are especially
adapted to fruit raising, and the product
is of the finest flavor and appearances.
Peaches sweet MS 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 c1oudless, 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 a magnificent
water works system just east of town, fur.
nishing water under l40 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 spl.n.
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 rs.
DR.. j. F. Banter, vice president of the
American Health Resort association, says:
ut 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 tricklinc
from springs in the mountain side. 1t is
free from all lime, alkali or other ingre.
dents SO very injurious to the consump-
tive patient. Such water is great boon |
anywhere and at any time, but here, where !
other features Of sunshine and pure ar |
combine to produce an ideal climate, il |,
is of special value"
TIE 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 1860; 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.
