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 hundred glorious tones, whila
their purple bases lend an ideal back.

RESOURCES.
Santa Fe county has ar Orea of ,49S, 900
acres and population Of about 1900.
The city itself contains over 10000 actu:4
residents. The valley soils are especially
adapted to fruit raising, and the product
is of the finest favor and appearances.
Peaches sweet as a Eectarine, plans 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 cJoudless, sun.
ny days bring out all their fruity ard
saccharine qualities.
Large mineral deposits, including god,
silver, precious stones, principally tbs
turquoise and garnets nearly as fine as rr.
bles, and topaz, also; both bituminous and
anthracite coal are found in giant veins.
The two kinds sometimes run ia parallel
veins In the same mine. In addition to
this "natural coke" is found.
PROSPECTIVE RESOURCES.
The Chicago Municipal d investments
has completed magnificent
water works system just east of town, fur
nishing water under 40 pounds pressure.

eereatlon, ETC., are provided. In addition
thereto preliminary work is now being
on reservoirs and canals that
will irrigate over 100000 acres of splen.
lid land in and around the city. These
will undoubtedly be completed within two
years, as every effort is being made to
hurry their construction,
TIE WATERS OF SANTA rz.
DR.. J. F. Banter, vice president of tho
American Health Resort association, says,
at 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
he melting SHOWS above, or trickling
rom springs in the mountain side. 1t ia
ree from all lime, alkali or other inpre-
iients so very injurious to the consump-
i've patient. Such water is great boon
anywhere and at any time, but here, where
'ther features of sunshine and pure air
combine to produce an ideal climate, il
s of special value"
