BEAUTIFUL HEALTH LOCATION

for Health Seekers, Tourists and Residents at

!, A rery substantial enterprise, and one
Il which promises much to the business
men of this city, is now under way and
e in short time will be in active opera
G tion.
To those who know and appre-
ciate what the climate of New Mex
leo Is, and its wonderful effect upon cer-
tain forms of disease, this movement will |
appeal with great force. To the man of
small and moderate means as WE'LL it
will likewise prove enticing as it will af-
ford him an opportunity of acquiring
home amidst ideal surroundings in an
easy way at a moderate expense
| Z. H. Mitchell, of Albuquerque, and
A. r. Gibson, of this city, have pur-
chased forty acres of land within one
| mile of the Plaza, east of the city ex-
tending to within two hundred yards of
the city limits. A portion of the land
embraces Talaya mountain and the
beautiful and picturesque valley of the
| Arroyo Chamiso No more lovely spot
| could be selected for residence purposes
and it is bound to prove most at
| tractive selection for the uses to which
it is to be put. Its position commands
one of the finest views in the entire
southwest Three quarters of the circle
bring before the eye several distant
mountain ranges, some of them almost
one hundred miles distant. To the
north the Santa Fe spine of the Rocky
Mountain range with the glorious inspir-
ing peak of sold Baldy;' to the west
the Cochiti range presents an unbroken
panorama, while still beyond lie the
lofty ,Jemez mountains and to the south
can be seen, distinctly and clearly, the
Los Cerrillos, Ortiz and Sandals, all
within plain view of the naked eye on a
clear day, and a clear day at Santa Fe
is almost every day of the year.
The suburb or settlement will be mod
ern and up to date in every essential par
ticular with electric lights, telephone
connection with the City of Santa Fe,
perfect drainage and an abundant sup
ply of the most wholesome and pure
water brought from the mountain
springs near by.
Evergreens of various kinds surround
the location and the already pure and
atmosphere is in addition
charged with the fragrant aromas which
endow it with a doubly curative action.
The city will be one of tent homes, plat
ted and graded on accurate lines, lots to
be numbered and alleys in the rear.
The tents will be of the best quality,
artistically arranged and furnished with
all modern necessities, making thus ideal
homes in this beautiful sunny climate
which admits OF an outdoor existence
all the year.
For rest, peace, isolation, relaxation
and recuperation, no more ideal form of
life can be conceived than that con-
in this plan, Lots are to be
sufficiently large to permit of all the
privacy desired. Thirty homes have al
ready been spoken for in this beautiful
little "Sunshine City, and forty lots sub
scribed for by eastern parties who con-
coming to New Mexico.
Professor Lieberkuhn, an eminent
German authority on physiology, states
that 1000 meters is the right altitude for
the average human organism. This is
about $500 feet and almost approximates
the altitude of this tent city. Another
great advantage from health stand
point is the fact that the germ life has
no chance either for existence or danger
in such an atmosphere and at such an
altitude. There are no mosquitoes nor
other pests to annoy one. and blanket
covering even in midsummer nights is
an essential to comfort. Hope and joy
will fill the heart and mind of the suffer
er by day, calm and reposeful sleep re-
construct and strengthen every tissue
and cell of the body at night. 1t is indeed
hard to find anywhere conditions more
favored by nature than those existing
here.
The improvements now under way at
Santa Fe, new railways, electric gener-
ating plants, etc., will undoubtedly ear
Iy attract class of people who will take
advantage of these movements which
are bound greatly to enhance, in short
time, property values on all sides. 1t is
the intention of the citizens at the head
of this laudabe project to dispose of at
east 100 lots cheaply at the start. An
office will be opened on the premises,
where all business connected with the
will be conducted.
