JemeZ and Vale mountains, scarcely less
grand than the Santa Fe range reflect tina
sunsets in hundred glorious tones, whils
their purple bases lend an ideal back
ground for all this splendor.

| acres and population OF about 1000.
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.

aprlcots, 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 cloudless, sun.

THE wArERs OF SANTA y..
DR.. ]. 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
the melting SHOWS above, or trickling
from springs in the mountain side. 1t is
free from all lime, alkali or other ingrs-
dents so very injurious to the consulnp.
tive patient. Such water is great booa
anywhere and at any time, but here, wher.
other features OF sunshine and pure ar
combine to produce an ideal clmata,'it
is of special value.'
THE MILITARY POST,

established military station on American
