SUNM0UNT, A
CITY OF HOMES
Is But One Mile from the Rapidly Improving
Capital Of New
Mexico.
A MOST BEAUTIFUL spot
Peous from All Parts Of Tho United States PURCHASING
Permanent nomesltss In -ThIs. Exquisite Location
at a Rate That Is Truly
Remarkable

That the plan projected by A. II
Gibson of this city and +. II. Milcnei
Of albuquerque to locate and puma
citv of homes in the most peautllu
sunt in the whole southwest, IL not "
+bis country, is to be a sue ess, lStt
already been demonstrated. EVEN DE-
fore the improvements under way are
anything like completed, people from
many points east north, south ana
west are securing homesites in way
that is phenomenal
At the point where the Cnaiiiso
valley broadens as it emerges from the
oreat Santa Fe range OF mountains and
within one mile of ia Villa Real de
Santa Fe," the Territorial capltai
which is soon to be the capital OF the
State of New Mexico, this beautiful TO-
cation was selected. Gently sloplng as
the land does from the immediate base
of the mountains this ideal home city
commands one of the most perfect and
inspiring views in the country. From
every point on the land can be seen
the Santa Fe spine of the Rocky noun
tains with the dignified and inspiring
peak of "Old Badly" standing out
prominently. During most of the year
his snow cap glistens and sparkles IN
the sun. There are, too, the Cochltl
mountains with their ever changing
hi
distant Jemez Los Cerrillos range ana
the Ortiz Sandals and San Pedro
mountains. Down just a little lower
nestles the City of Santa Fe which has
wakened from it's sleep of many years
and has made a. wonderful progress
during the past two years. 1t Is this
SPOT that has been selected for those
who desire to live close to nature with
the advantages of civilization as can
be done in no other place.
1t is the place where one can estab-
lish for himself and his family a sum-
mer or winter home in the Land OF
Sunshine" and in the most equable eli
mate in the world. Such holdings will
increase in value from year to year by
natural accretioEs. Near enough 1t Is
to the mountains to receive the bene-
fits of the pinon and cedar perfumed
air, and the purest water that is to be
found
Colorado Springs with it's lofty Pixies
Peak and crystal water the most beau
tiful and thoroughly home city in the
west is not more inspiring. Denver,
with it's mountains and plains, the
great metropolis is not more beautiful
The pure mountain spring water
comes down the canon absolutely un-
contaminated, as for several thousand
feet it passes through bed OF SAND
twelve feet deep and is stored In res
ervoir which extends to bed rock, maxi
ing a natural rock reservoir. From
this reservoir the descent to the city
is sufficient to give all pressure neces-
sary by gravity.
But not alone is, Sunmount desirable
for it's nearness to nature but 1T is the
natural outgrowth of the ambition and
energy of Santa Fe during the past two
years. The Capital Light & Power
Company which Is to furnish electric
power generated by the Pecos river,
Santa Fe enterprise, has run it's lines
through Sunmount so that the subur-
ban city will share with Santa Fe, Las
Vegas and other distant towns all the
benefits of that gigantic enterprise.
The Santa Fe Central Railway,
from Santa Fe to Torrance, Is now
under construction and will be in oper-
alton by January 1. This road con-
meets at Santa Fe with the Santa Fe
Railway system and the Denver and
Rio Grande railroad and at Torrance
with the Chicago Rock Island and Pa
cifc railway system.
Near enough this charming site is to
Santa Fe to have the benefits of tele-
phone connection and be in immediate
connection with all parts Of the world
by rail or wire.

but 1t is place for rest for those who
need to rebuild weak system. People
afflicted with bronchial and pulmonary
troubles will be given relief. Thous-
ands will here find a cure. The great
est authorities in the world agree that
for the cure of pulmonary troubles,
climate is the only remedy. There Is
no longer any question but that 1t is
the most effective and that the sufferer
should promptly go to that region
where climatic conditions are most IA
yorable and live as near to nature as
possible. 1t is agreed that the most
desirable altitude Is something over
$500 feet. A dry air, eQuable temper
ature and abundance Of sunshine are
the requisites.
After the most exhaustive tests ever
made and the most careful investiga-
ton ever pursued, the United States
government has declared the climate
of New Mexico to best fulfill the ideal
