1t will therefore be seen that while
Santa Fe possesses the delightful climate
of a sanitarium, she is not devc:l of in
terest. The health seeker should nevet
so to dull place. Ennui and listless
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 move
around you can not be dull amid such
NATURAL BEAUTY.
Even the inveterately lazy can enjoy
life here also if they have money. To tho
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 Z
diadem of briliants. 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
stitutions located here, in spacious and
attractive modern buildings, are the U.
s. court and federal Office building, the

RESOURCES.
Santa Fe county has an area of ,49S, 600
acres and population of about 1900.
The city itself contains over 10000 actual
residents. The valley soils are especially
adapted to fruit raising, and tho product
is of the finest favor and appearances.
Peaches sweet as nectarine, plums and
apricots, large and luscious, apples, pears,
berries and all the hardy fruits flourish in
abundance, usually commanding e better
and more remunerative market than ewes
the California fruits. The cloudless, sun.
ny days bring out all their fruity aud
saccharine qualities.
Large mineral deposits, including gold,
silver, precious stones, principally the
turquoise and garaets 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.

years, as every effort Is being made to
hurry their construction.
