SOUTHERN COLORADO.
Southern Colorado is the richest, most fer
tile, and mildest tempered section of the great |
Territory Of Colorado. 1t is State within it
self of magnificent proportions, incalculable
natural resources, and diversity of soil and |
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 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,
copper, marble, petroleum.
PUEBLO.
The capital city of this great region is |
Pueblo located on the old trading route of the
Sante Fa trail, just where that ancient highway
crossed and the trunk line of railway now
crosses the Arkansas river.
Pueblo is an old, wel-establshed point. 1t
has been a missionary station, trading post, |
military fort, and is now thriving Western
town.. Its location has been determined by the
established routes of travel for over century.
1t has therefore solid foundation. 1t is now
three building, converge here. At this point
will stand the
GREAT CENTRAL CITY OF THE FAR WEST.
In every respect of centralty, 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 q commercial centre.
SOUTH PUEBLO.
The systematic development Of Pueblo
towards this, its own proper position, is now
going on under the auspices of tho Denver
and Rio Grande Railway, who have opened to
Colony settlement and improvement the land
on the south bank of the Arkansas, heretot ore
unoccupied by reason of the want of capital in
Colorado to construct the great irrigating caual
necessary to supply water.
South Pueblo has been regularly laid out and
plated, streets opened and graded, 10, 900 trees
planted along the avenues and public squares,
large park laid out and planted, bridges
built, and all the foundations for prosper
GUS town broadly and intelligently laid. The
streets are 100 feet wide, the central boulevard
| $50 feet. Acequias, or miniature Canals run
along the front of each sidewalk
The main work, however, is the great irrl-
eating canal, 20 miles in length, which has
already been built at cost of $4,000.
This canal covers and waters tract OF
10000 acres, and this tract constitutes the
| colony settlement of South Pueblo.
South Pueblo differs from the generality of
towns Just starting, in having already est;Lb-
lished 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 South
Pueblo, being connected by four completed
| bridges and a horse railway.
Coonists, 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
a recent act of Congress-, and now in the
trustees of the Company.
