1t will therefore be seen that while
Santa Fe possesses the delightful climate
of sanitarium, she is not davc:d of i'm
terest. The health seeker should ne7si
go to a dull place. Ennui and listess
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 also if they have money. To the
east Old Badly lifts a 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 q
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.
PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS.
Among the more important public In
situations located here in spacious and
attractive modern buildings, are the U.
s. court and federal Office building, the
territorial capitol, St Vincent's sani.
tarium, territorial penitentiary, New Mex
leo orphans training school, st. Vincent's

frst-class hotel accommodation, ard
several sanitary institutions for the bens~
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, nos
only to the lawyer but to the laymau.
RESOURCES.
Santa Fe county has an -rea Of ,49s, eco
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 favor and appearances.
Peaches sweet RS a nectarine, piums and
apricots, large and luscious, apples, pears,
berries and all the hardy fruits flourish in
abundance, usually commanding o better
and more remuneratiye market than even
the California fruits. The c|oudless, sun.
J ny days bring out all their fruity and
saccharine qualities.
Large mineral deposits, including gold,
silver, precious stones, principally the
turquoise and garaets nearly as fine as RI.

years, az every effort 10 being made to
hurry their construction.
THE WATERS OF SANTA n.
DR.. ]. F. Banter, vice president CT ths
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
J Santa Fe for domestic purposes and for
irrigation of the fruit farms. Tho water
! is absolutely pure, cold and fresh from
. the melting SHOWS above, or trucking
from springs in the mountain side. 1t 10
free from all lime, alkali or other ingre-
. dents so very injurious to the consump-
tive patient. Such water is great booA
anywhere and at any time, but here, where
other features OF sunshine and pure air
combine to produce an ideal climate, il
is of special value"
, THE MILITARY POST,
> Fl. Marcy, at Santa, Fe is the oldest
, established military station on Anne fican
: soil. The Spanicrds occupid it as such
, in 1902. Old Fort Marcy was built BY

site was occupied in 1850; tho post 10
garrisoned by headquarters, the band
and two companies of the 10th u. 8. In
fantry under command of Col. E. p.

renders delightful music daily in ths
public plaza for the pleasure Of clvixens,
