It will therefore be seen that while
Santa Fe possesses the delightful climate
OF a sanitarum, she is not devc:d of in
terest. The health seeker should nevst
go to dull place. Ennui and listess
ness are the handmaidens of disease.
Here is interest for the studious hstor-
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 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 4
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.

Among the more important public IN.
situations located here, in spacious and
attractive modern buildings, are the U.

several sanitary institutions for the bcns-
fit of health-seekers.
The U. S. court of private land claims
is in session here throughout most Of tho
year, and the arguments therein, involving
as they do points of historical and arch
geological interest, are instructive, nos
only to the lawyer but to the lsyman.
nEsoUloEs.
Santa Fe county has an orea of J $4,000
acres and a 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 favor and appearances.
Peaches sweet as u lectarine, plums and
apricots, large aud luscious, apples, pears,
berries and all the hardy fruits flourish in
abundance, usually commanding q better
and more remunerati7e market than even
the California fruits. The cloudless, sun.
ny days bring ont all their fruity and
saccharine qualities.
Large mineral deposits, including gold,
silver, precious stones, principally tbs
turquoise and garnets neatly as line as ru-
bies, and topaz, also; both bitumi Gus and
anthracite coal are found in giant veins.

veins in the same mine. In addition to
this natural coke" is found.

did land in and around the city. These
will undoubtedly be completed within two
years, az every effort 10 being made to
hurry their construction.
THE WATERS OF SANTA II.
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
tho melting SHOWS above. or trickling
from springs in the mountain side. 1t 10

dents SO very injurious to tho consump-
tive patient. Such water is great boon
anywhere and at any time, but here, where
other features of sunshine and pure ok
combine TO produce an ideal climate, il
is of special value"
