works of art, the soldiers monument

1t will therefore be seen that while
Santa Fe possesses the delightful climate
of sanitarium, she is not davc:d 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, 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 alsojf they have money. To the
east Old Badly lifts snowy dome in
winter, and his steeply sloping forested
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 hundred glorious tones, while
their purple bases lend an ideal back
ground for all this splendor.

Among the more important public In
stitUtions located here, in spacious and
attractive modern buildings, are the U.
8. court and federal Office building, the

first-class hotel accommodations, ard
several sanitary institutions for the hons-
lit of health-seekers.
The U. S. court of private laId elaine
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 lsyman.
REsouRoIs.
Santa re county has an Srea of 1893 900
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 rs ucctarine, rlums and
apricots, large and luscious, apples, pears,
berries and all the hardy fruits flourish in
abundance, usually commanding better
and more remunerative market than even
the California fruits. The c)oudless, sun.
ny days bring out all their fruity and
saccharine qualities.
Large mineral deposits, including gold,
silver, precious stones, principally the
turq uoise and garaets nearly rs 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.
PROSPECTIVE RRsouRcEs.
The Chicago Municipal & Investment
company has completed magnificent
water works system just east of town, fur.
nishing water undsr 14O pounds pressure.
All the modern improvements in the way of
aereation, etc, are provided. In addition
thereto preliminary work is now being
conducted on reservoirs and canals that
will irrigate 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.
THE WATERS OF SANTA n.
| Dr.. J. F. Banter, vice president CT the
American Health Resort association, sayss
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, sold and fresh from
tho melting SHOWS above, or trucking
from springs in the mountain side. It 10

dents 80 very injurious to the consump-
tive patient. Such water is great boon
anywhere and at any time, but here, whera
other features OF sunshine and pure ali
combine to produce an ideal climate, II
is of special value"
THE MILITARY POST,
Fl. Marcy, at Santa, Fe is the oldest
established military station on America
soil. The Spani.rds occupid it as such
in 1902. Old Fort Marcy was built BY
Gen. Kearney in 1915; and the present
site was occupied in 1850; the post il
garrisoned by headquarters, the band
and two companies of the 10th u. 8. in.
fantry under command of Col. E. p.
Pearson; it's location here adds greatly "a
Santa Fe's attractions socially and COM
mercially. The military band stationed
here is one of the best IN the army and
renders delightful music daily in The
public plaza for the pleasure of clsixens
