grand than the Santa Fe range reflect the
sunsets in hundred glorious tones, while

RESOURCES.
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 as necturine, pums and
apricots, large and luscious, apples, pears,
berries and all the hardy fruits flourish in
abundance, usually commanding better

saccharine qualities.

silver, precious stones, principally the
turquoise and garaets nearly as fine as ra-
bies, and topaz, also; both bituminous aud
