Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1894-04-14

New Mexico; St. Vincent's hospital,
conducted by the Sisters of Charity, and
the Orphans industrial school; the In
dian training school; Loretto academy
and chapel of Our Lady of Light; the
Ramona Indian school, St. Catharine's
Indian school.
1t will therefore be seen that while
Santa Fe possesses the delightful climate
of a sanitarium, she is not devoid of in
terest. The health seeker should nevet
go to dull place. Ennui and lstless
ness are the handmaidens of disease.
Here is interest for the studious histor-
ian, tho 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 q
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.
PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS.
Among the more important public In
stitutions located here, in spacious and
attractive modern buildings, are the U.
S. court and federal office building, the
territorial capitol, St Vincent's sani-
tarium, territorial penit-ntiary, New Mex
leo Orphans training school, st. Vincent's
| charity hospital, U. S. government Indian

Michael's college, Loretto academy, Pres
| byterian home missions industrial school
| for girls, New Mexico deaf and dumb in

P. L. Chapelle and many others, including
first-class hotel accommodations, and
several sanitary institutions for the beue-
fit of health-seekers.
The U. s. court of private land claims
is in session here throughout most of the
| year, and the arguments therein, involving
as they do points of historical and arch
geological interest, are instructive, not
only to the lawyer but to the layman.
RESOURCES.
Il Santa Fe county has an area of ! 100000
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 remuneratiye market than eyeE
the California fruits. The cIoudless, sun
ny days bring out ali their fruity and
saccharine qualities.

. silver, precious stones, Principally the
turq and garnets nearly as fine as ru.
bies, and topaz, also; both bitumiuous and

veins in the same mine. In addition to

years, as every effort Is being made to
hurry their construction.
!; TIE WATERS OF SANTA n.
DR.. J. F. Banter, vice president of the
American Health Resort association, says:
a at is worth travelling miles to drink of
v such waters as flow through this deep cut
Q in tn. mountains and supply the city of
8 Santa Fe for domestic purposes and for
v irrigation of the fruit farms. The water
n is absolutely pure, cold and fresh from
q the melting SHOWS above, or trickling
i from springs in the mountain side. 1t il
i free from all lime, alkali or other ingre
}. dents 80 very injurious to the consump'
tive patient. Such water is great boou
, anywhere and at any time, but here, whers
W other features OF sunshine and pure all
q combine to produce an ideal climate, il
Il is of special value" r---
