Here is interest for the studious histor.

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 q
diadem of brilliants. To the west the
Jemez ard Vale mountains, scarcely less
grand than the Santa Fe range reflect the
their purple bases lend an ideal back.
ground for all this splendor.

RESOURCES.
Santa Fe county has ar 1rea 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 nectarine, plums and
apricots, 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.
ny days bring out all their fruity and
saccharine qualities.
Large mineral deposits, including gold,
silver, precious stones, principally the
turquoise and garnets 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.
The Chicago Municipal & Investment
company has completed a magnifcens
water works system just east of town, fur.
nishing water undsr 14O pounds pressure.
Allthe modern improvements in the way of
of Il,
thereto preliminary work is now being
conducted on reservoirs and canals that
will irrigate over 100000 acres of splen-
did land in and around the city. These
will undoubtedly be completed within two
years, as every effort is being made to
hurry their construction.
THE WATERS OF SANTA n.
DR.. ]. F. Banter, vice president of the
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. It 10
free from all lime, alkali 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"
THE M1L1rARY POST,
Fl. Marcy, at Santa, Fe is the oldest
established military station on American
soil. The spaniards occupid it as such
in 1902. Old Fort Marcy was built BY
Gen. Kearney in 1915; and the present.
site was occupied in 1850; the post 10
garrisoned by headquarters, the band
and two companies of the 10th U. 8. In.
fantry under command of Col. e. p.
Pearson; its location here adds greatly to
Santa Fe's attractions socially and COM
mercially. The military band stationed
here is one of the best ip the army and
renders delightful music daily in the
public plaza for the pleasure of cIsizens.
