1t will therefore be seen that while
Santa Fe possesses the delightful climate
of a sanitarium, she is not devc:d of in
terest. The health seeker should nevef
go to dull place. Ennui and listless
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 enought to move
around you can not be dull amid such
surroundings.
NATURAL BEAUTY.
Even the inveterately lazy can eujey
life here also if they have money. To the
east Old Badly lifts snowy dome in
winter, and his steeply slopng 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 briliants. 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.
PUBLIC INsTITUTIoNs.
Among the more important public In
stitutions located here, in spacious and
attractive modern buildings, are the U.

several sanitary institutions4or the bene-
lit of health-seekers.
The U. S. court of private laid claims
ia 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, uoa
only to the lawyer but to the lpyman.
Santa Fe county has an 6ree of ,49S,000
! acres and population of about 1900.
. Tho city itself contains over 10000 actual
| residents. The valley soils are especially
adapted to fruit raising, and. tho product
is of the finest havor and appearances.
Peaches sweet as nectarine, piuns 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, sum
} ny days bring out all their fruity ind
,! saccharine qualities.
Large mineral deposits, including gold,
2 silver, precious stones, principally the
turquoise 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 iu parallel
veins in the same mine. In addition to
this natural coke" is found.

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.
+; TIE WATERS OF SANTA Fl.
Dr.. J. F. Danter, vice president Of The
American Health Resort association, says,
"It is worth travelling miles to drink Of
y such waters as flow through this deep cut
Q in the mountains and supply the city Of
8 Santa Fs for domestic purposes and for
Y irrigation of the fruit farms. The water
n is absolutely pure, cold and fresh from
a the melting SHOWS above, or tricklinG

}. dients 20 very injurious to the consump-
tive patient. Such water is n great booa
-. anywhere and at any time, but here, where
u other features OF sunshine and pure OH
Q combine to produce an ideal climate, il
i is of special value"
