Editor Burke Says That the Pos.
sibi|ities of Sunmount Can.
not Be Exaggerated.
AN ENHANCING VIEW
Cool and Delightful Climate, Balsamic
Air and Pure Water Health-Civing
to InvaIids.

Il do not think that anything that
you could say would exaggerate the
beautiful Sunmount," said w. S.
Burke, the veteran editor of the Albu-
querque Journal-Democrat Il was out
to the Tent City yesterday and do
not know of more delightful location
in the whole Territory than Sunmount.
l was simply carried away with the
views and the beauties of the place.
am confident that Sunmount will be-
come one Of the noted resorts just as
soon as it becomes more generally
known and that it will prove one of
the greatest OF the attractions of San
ia Fe.
81 know of no more enchanting
spot Is it possible for man, with
any poetry at all in his soul, not to be
simply entranced with the view?
There one stands and has the great
valley spread out before and below
him Behind him rise the dark and
massive cliffs of the Santa Fe range,
but in front the view is limited only
by the range of vision. The eye can
follow the Sandals and then the out
line of the Coyote hills on to the Man
zanos as they rise over to the east
of Albuquerque. Then the eye can
trace the Manzanos far to the south
and even discern in the far away dis
tance the Oscura range as it rises out
of the plain beyond Socorro. The
view is one that is unrivalled and l
have found nothing in New Mexico
that will compare with it. | have |
looked on the Rio Grande from the |
summit of the Sandals, an elevation |
of something over 10000 feet and /
thought the scene one of splendor
and such it really is, but so far as |
know there is in no part of New Mex
leo view Of such beauty, such gran
deur and CT such great extent as that
afforded from the delightful Sun
mount. think that it is only a mat
ter of few years until Sunmount
will be one of the great attractions of
the Territory and resort, not only
for the health-seeker but the pleasure
seeker as well. Sunmount provides
Just what the Territory has needed
in the way of pleasure resort and fills
a long felt want. The altitude is suf-
hciently high to insure continued cool
and delightful seasons even through
the hottests months. The water is the
purest and the balsamic air Is health
giving to the invalid and invigorating
to the we'll With pure air, good wa
ter and such surroundings there is lit
tie to be desired And as have said
1t is just such place as this that the
people of the Terr.tory need. Take
for example, you know
how wearing ON one the continued
heat for several months is and how
literally the various resorts over to-
ward the mountains are patronized
and how the average Albuquerquean
feels the necessity of going some !,
where where he will escape the heat
and find rest and recreation. Well,
here is the opportunity for Sunmount. :
It is located most conveniently and is
easy of access. Its railroad facilities
ire very good and it's close proxilnityI /,
% the city o. Santa Fe means really
he full benefit of the country and in :
he meantime the full enjoyment Of
he advantages of the city.
"But what the new resort needs is ;,
and once it is generally !,
Known am sure that Sunmount will !.
,rove one of the great resorts of the
lection. Ii is ideal in its location and !,
he conveniences that the place offers :
ire superior and greatly in its favor. :
can see the brightest future ahead
or Sunmount. :.
