full moon at night and the sun by day turn
his crest into a diadem of briliants. To tho
west the Jeme2 and Vale mountains,
scarcely less grand than the Santa Fe range
reflect the sunsets in a hundred gIt
tones, while their purple bases lend an idea
background for all the splendor

THE WATERS OF SANTA FE.
Dr. j. F. Danter, vice president of the
American Health Resort association, says;
ut 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 irri.
CATION of the fruit farms. The water is alb.
solutly pure cold and fresh from the melt
ing SHOWS above, or trickhng from springs
in The mountain side. 1t is tree from all
lime, akali or other ingredients so very in
furious to the consumptive patient. Such
water is a great boon anywhere and at any
time but here, where other features Of sun
shine and pure air combine to produce
ideal climate, it is of special value" D
