Colorado.

well as the largest emigration from the United States. And with reason; for both in the way of geographical position, internal re- sources and capacity for diversified industry it stands at the head of all the Territories.
 Geographically, Colorado is in the very van of the column of solid migration, being the western front of that great tier of pros porous commonwealths which belt the Union Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado. Emigration always moves in straight lines-the population of any one climate, soil, or temperature following it's parallel of latitude. This has been the uniform history of settlement in this country.
 Colorado, however, will have the advantage of her older sisters, in that while their settle ment was slow, fortuitous and disintegrated hers is rapid, organized and systematic- while theirs was the work of individuals, hers by experience, capital and combination. She begins at point the others oAly reached after generation.
 Already her condition reveals her vantage ground and demonstrates her position as the leader of the great column of the Middle States.
 Colorado is even now an exceptionally favor ed territory for any one thinking of going West to settle. Society is already established there railway communication with the Atlan- tic and Pacific States is direct and good the Territorial Government economically organized and honestly administered, exempting the settlers from onerous taxation. Witness the following items
 TAxEs.-There were no territorial taxes laid in 1873.
 PUBLIC DEBT.-There is no territorial debt, and balance of $1s, 172.1 .19 in the treasury.
 SoHooLs.-The educational facilities of the Territory are f1rst-class. The common school system is well organized. There are good ladies', theological, conventual, and boys schools. There is college at Colorado Springs. .r-
 THE PREss.-There are daily and s6 other papers published in Colorado. BANKs.-There are 27 banks. TELEGRAPH.-There are 1,01S miles. SOUTHERN COLORADO. Southern Colorado is the richest, most fer tile and mildest tempered section of the great Territory of Colorado. It is 8 State within it. self of magnificent proportions, incalculable natural resources, and diversity of soil and l climate, and capacity for agricultural, pas tural, mining, manufacturing, and commercial development which render it self-supporting. Lying south of the Great Divide it is the most genial climate of all Colorado.
 The Arkansas, the greatest river running from the Rocky Mountains, gives it the richest valley and strongest water power in Colorado.
 Embracing in it's limits the South Park and San JuaA country, it covers the richest mining districts of the Territory. it's minerals being not merely gold and silver, but coal, iron, copper, marble, petroleum.
 PUEBLO.
 The capital city of this great region is Pueblo, located on the old trading route of the Santa Fe trail, just where the ancient highway crossed and the trunk line of railway now crosses the Arkansas river.
 Pueblo is an old, wel-established point. It has been 8 missionary station, trading post, military fort, and is now 8 thriving Western town. It's location has been determined by the established routes of travel for over 8 century It has therefore solid foundation. It is now 8 railway center. Five roads, two built and three building, converge here. At this point will stand the GREAT CENTRAL CITY OF THE FAR WEST.
 In every respect of centrality, climate, local situation, position with reference to North, South, East and West, Pueblo is destined to become the great commercial city of the Rocky Mountains. For one thousand miles along the base of the mountain range there is no point equal to it as commercial center. SOUTH PUEBLO.
 The systematic development of Pueblo towards this, it's. own proper position, is now going on under the auspices of the Denver and Rio Grande Railway, who have opened to Colony settlement and improvement the land on the south bank of the Arkansas, heretofore Colorado to construct the great irrigating canal necessary to supply water.
 South Pueblo has been regularly laid out and plated, streets opened and graded, 10, GOO trees planted along the avenues and public squares, large park laid out and planted, bridges built, and all the foundations for prosperous town broadly and intelligently laid. The streets are 100 feet wide, the central boulevard 150 feet. Acequias, or miniature canals, run
 
 The main work, however, is the great irri. gating canal, 20 miles in length, which has already been built at 8 cost of $90,000. | This canal covers and waters tract of 10,- 900 acres, and this tract constitutes the colony settlement of South Pueblo.
 South Pueblo differs from the generality oi towns just starting, in having already estab lshed railway, telegraph, and express and post. al connections with the entire country.
 The old town of Pueblo is located on the north bank of the river, and just opposite soutt Pueblo, being connected by four completed bridges and horse railway.
 Colonists, in addition to the facilities of the new town, will have all the advantages in the way of markets society, &c., afforded by the old town.
 South Pueblo is not an experiment. One thousand people are now on the colony grounds.
 The title is clear and simple, confirmed by recent act of Congress, and now in the trustees of the Company.
