March 9th, 1873.

March 9th, 1873.
have found the climate of the
Arkansas valley in southern Colora-
do the most beautiful it has ever
been my lot to spend a winter in;
it Is not winter but summer. Canon
City is a very pretty country town
situated on the bank of the Arkansas
river just at the base of the Rocky
Mountains. The entire valley of the
Arkansas presents scenes OF unusual
life and activity, consequent upon
the rapid construction of three addi-
tional lines of Railroads all centering
at the fsmous coal fields of Fremont
County, which have recently been
brought to public notice by the
completion of the Denver and Rio
Grande r. r. to the very center Of
the deposits, and when hundreds OF
tons of coal is now daily mined,
loaded and shipped TO the various
markets of Colorado with the Rail-
roads completed. which are detained
for this point. A very large amount
of coal will daily be mined and trans.
ported from this coal center, this is
made doubly sure by reason of the
superiority of this coal over all
other coal of Colorado, indeed west
of the Missouri River. / am inform
ed by the r. r. official. that one ton
of Fremont Co. coal is quite equal
to two and one halftons of all other
Colorado coal.
There is destined to be built up
in the Immediate vicinity of the coal,
a large mining and manufacturing
town. The coal mining alone will
support large population. Add to
this iron works, abundance of iron
ore at HANDY rolling mill, metal re-
ducing works for the ores of gold,
silver, copper, and lead, all this of
necessity must be done at or near
the coal. | have no hesitation in
predicting that the S ~ansea of Amer
lea will be in the vicinity OF these
coal and iron measures where the

Delaware county has butter fac
tory, the first of its kind in this State
1t is situated near the town of Della.
ware, and is owned and run by Mr..
John Steward. He buys from farmers,
using the milk from two hundred
and fifty COWS, paying about seventy
cents per hundred pounds, returning
the sour milk, an arrangement which
suits the farmers exactly, inasmuch
as they obtain as much for their milk
as though they manufactured it them
selves into butter. By the process
in use on most farms it takes thirty.
three pounds of milk to make a
pound of butter. In this factory only
twenty.three and a half pounds is
required. The butter is sold in Bos.

twenty cents, rose to thirty-seven,
mostly on its merit. So says the

The oil interest is at the present
time attracting very great amount
or attention, it is a we'll known fact
that tor the past nine years the sur
face oil springs six miles north of
Canon City have supplied Southern
Colorado with oil of very superior
quality. Now that this county is
opened up by railroads, the parties
controlling the Oil Creek valley and
its tributaries have just commenced
extensive Developments, by boring
wells. At the depth of25 feet they
struck vein of oil producing two
and one.half barrels of oil per day.
This is the heaviest surface vein ever
struck in the western states, the fact
that there is basin of oil here quite
equal to Pennsylvania, is conceded
by all biologists who have examined
the Territory. Another important
fact is not to be overlooked. There
is not a stream in America that
offers better water power for estab-
lishment of factories, etc., than the
Arkansas River at this point. The
stream a fair size, with good fall,
good banks-fed from snow mount
aims during the summer season,
causes the water to be cool, pure,
and healthy, and in climate where
the ice does not interfere in the win

in front rank for wealth. rrigating
canals and bitches are being taken

and thrift prevails.
