Colorado.
Colorado to-day is the centre of the best. as
well as the largest emigration from the United
States. And with reason, for both in the way
of geographical position, internal resources
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 social migration, being the
westward front of that great tier OF prosper
GUS commonwealth which belt the Union
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana. Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Colorado Emigration always
moves in straight Hnes-the population of any
one climate, soil, or temperature following its
parallel of latitude This has been the uni
form history of settlement IN this country.
Colorado, however, viii have the advantage
of her elder sisters, in that while their settle
ment was slow, fortuitous and disintegrated,
hers is rapid organized and ystematic-while
theirs was the work of individuals, hers is
the work of great organizations, supported by
experience, capital and combination. She be-
gins at point the others only reached after q
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 IA
vored territory for any ore thinking of going
West to settle. Society is already established

tic and Pacific States is direct and good; the

Southern Colorado is the richest, most fer
tile, and mildest tempered section of the great
Territory OF Colorado. It is a State within it.
self Of magnificent proportions, incslculable
natural resources, and diversity of soil and
climate, and a capacity for agricultural, pas
tOral, 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 its limits the South Park and
| San Juan country, it covers the richest mining
districts of the Territory, its minerals being
not merely gold and silver, but coal iron, cop
per, marble, petroleum
