1t will therefore be seen that while
Santa Fe possesses the delightful climate
of sanitarium, she is not davc:d of in
terest. The health seeker should nevet
go to dull place. Ennui and listess.
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
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 .
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.

stitutions located here, in spacious and

RESOURCES.
6enta Fe county has an .rea of l, 49e, 900
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 flavor and appearances.
Peaches sweet as a nectarine, pums and
apricots, large and luscious, apples, pears,
berries and all the hardy fruits flourish in
abundance, usually commanding better
and more remunerative market than eves
the California fruits. The c)oudless, sun.
ny days bring out all their fruity and
aaccharine qualities.
Large mineral deposits, including gold,
silver, precious stones, principally the
turquoise and garnets nearly as fine as ru-
bies, and .opaz, 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 q magnificent
water works system just east of town, fur.
nishing water under 140 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 splen-
did land in and around tho city. These
will undoubtedly be completed within two
years, rs every effort IL being made to
hurry their construction.
THE WATERS OF SANTA n.
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
the melting SHOWS above, or tricklinc
from springs in the mountain side. It 10
free from all lime, alkali or other ingre-
dients 30 very injurious to the consump.
tive patient. Such water is a great boon
anywhere and at any time, but here, where
other features OF sunshine and pure air
combine to produce an ideal climate, il
is of special value"
THE MILITARY POST,

established military station on Anne rican
soil. The Spani.rds occupid it as such
in 1902. Old Fort Marcy was built BY

renders delightful music daily in The
