1t will therefore be seen that while
Santa Fe possesses the delightful climate
of sanitarium she is not dave:d of in
terest. The health seeker should nevet
go to dull place. Ennui and listless
ness are the handmaidens of disease.
Here is interest for the studious histoI-
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 a 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 a hundred glorious tones, while
their purple bases lend an ideal back.
ground for all this splendor.

REsounoxs.
Santa Fs county has an 0rea of l, 49S,oO0
acres and q population of about 1900.
The city itself contains over 10000 actual
adapted to fruit raising, and the product
is of the finest flavor aud appearances.
Peaches sweet as u Eectarine, plums and
apticots, large and luscious apples, pears,
berries and all tho hardy fruits flourish in
abundance, usually commanding better
and more remunerative market than eveR
the California fruits. The cjoudless, sun.
ny days bring out all their fruity aud
saccharine qualities.
/ Large mineral deposits, including gold,
silver, precious stones, principally the
turquoise and garaets nearly as fine rs ru-
bies, and topaz, also; both Unanimous 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.

will undoubtedly DO completed within two
years, as every effort is being made to
hurry their construction.
i THE WATERS OF SANTA ~.

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

the melting euows above, or trickling
from springs in the mountain side. 1t 10
