Santa Fe county has an area of !, $4,000
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 as a Gectarine, plums and
apricots, large and luscious, apples, pears,
berries and all the hardy fruits flourish in
abundance, usually commanding better
and more remuneratiye market than even
the California fruits. The c)oudlcss, sun.

saccharine qualities.

silver, precious stones, principally the

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

American Health Resort association, says,
"It 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 trickling
from springs in the mountain side. 1t 10
free from all lime, Rlkali or other ingre-
dients SO very in furious to the consump-
tive patient. Such water is great booa
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"
