NATURAL BEAUTY.
Even the inveterately lazy can enjoy
life here also if they have money. To the
east Old Baldy 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

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.

such waters es 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
