hers is rapid, organized and systematic-while
theirs was the work of individuals, hers is
the work of great organizations, supported by
experience, capital and combination. She be-

generation
Already her condition reveals her vantage

SOUTHERN COLORADO.
Southern Colorado is the richest, most fer
Territory of Colorado. 1t is a State within it
self Of magnificent proportions, incalculable
natural resources, and a diversity Of soil and
climate, and q capacity for agricultural, pas
tOrsl, 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.
PUEBLO.
The capital city of this great region is Pue-
blO located on the old trading route of the
Santa Fe trail, just where that ancient high
way crossed and the trunk line Of railway now
crosses the Arkansas river.
Pueblo is an old, well-established point. It
has been missionary station, a trading post,
a 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
a 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 centre.
SOUTH PUEBLO.
The systematic development of Pueblo to-
wards this, its 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 unOc-
Cupied by reason of the want of capital in
Colorado to construct the great irrigating
canal necessary to supply water.
South Pueblo has been regularly laid out
and plated, streets opened and graded, TO-,
600 trees planted along the avenues and pub
lie squares large park laid out and planted,
bridges built, and all the foundations of
prosperous town broadly and intelligently
laid. The streets are 100 feet wide, the cen
trial boulevard $50 feet. Acequias, or minia-
ture canals, run along the front of each side
The main work, however, is the great irri-
walk.
eating canal, 20 miles in length, which has
already been built at cost of $50, 900.
This canal convers and waters tract of TO-,
900 acres, and this tract constitutes the colony
settlement of South Pueblo.
South Pueblo differs from the generality of
towns just starting, IN having already estab-
hshed railway, Geographic, and express and
postal 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 COM
pleted 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 trus-
tees of the Company.
