1t will therefore be seen that while
Santa Fe possesses the delightful climate
OF santarium, she is not devc:1 of in
terest. The health seeker should neve.
60 to dull place. Ennui and listless
ness are the handmaidens of disease.
Hero 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 euch
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
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.

Santa Re county has ar erea of 10000
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 fhlvor and appearances.
Peaches sweet rs a nectarine, rlums and
apricots, large and luscious, apples, pears,
berries and all the hardy fruits flourish in
abundance, usually commanding 6 better
and more remunerative market than even
the California fruits. The c)oIdless, sun.

silver, precious stones, principally tbs
