1t will therefore be seen that while
Santa Fe possesses the delightful climats

Here is interest for the studious histor-

around you can not be dull amid such
surroundings.

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

REsouRoEs.
Santa Fe county has an area of 1,499, 900
acres and a population Of about 10000.
The city itself contains over 10000 actual
residents. The valley soils are especially
adapted to fruit raising, and the product
is of the finest favor and appearances.
Peaches sweet as a 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 eyeA
the California fruits. The cloudiess, 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.
i PROSPECTIVE RESOURCES.
The Chicago Municipal d Investment
company has completed a magnificent
water works system just east of town, fur.
nishing water under 40 pounds pressure.
Allthe modern improvementsint the way Of
eereation, etc, are provided. In addition
thereto preliminary work is now being
conducted on reservoirs and canals that
will irrigats 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.
i THE WATERS OF SANTA N.
Dr.. ]. F. Banter, vice president Of the
American Health Resort association, says,
SIT 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 il
free from all lime, alkali or other ingre-
dents so very injurious to the consump p
tive patient. Such water is great boon
anywhere and at any time, but here, where
other features of sunshine and pure ali
, combine to produce an ideal climate, il
is Of special value"
