 Geographically, Colorado is in the very van of the column of solid migration, being tho 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 ines-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. l Colorado, however, will have the advantage of her older sisters, in that while their settle ment was slow, fortuitous and dieintegrated 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 begins at point the others only reached after a generation.
 Already her condition reveals her vantage ground and demonstrates her position as the leader of the great column of the Middle States.

 TELEGRAPH are 1,016 miles, SOUTHERN COLORADO.
 Southern Colorado is the richest, most fer tile, and mildest tempered section of the great Territory of Colorado. It is State within it. self of magnificent proportions, inoalculable natural resources. and 8 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 it's limits the South Park and San Juan 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.
 The capital city of this great region if Pueblo, located on the old trading route of the Santa Fe trial, just where the ancient highway crossed and the trunk line of railway nov crosses the Arkansas river.
 Pueblo is an old, well-established point. has been missionary station, trading post military fort, and is now thriving Westerr town. Its location has been determined by tht established routes of travel for over a century It has therefore 8 solid foundation. It is nov 8 railway center. Five roads, two built anG three building, converge here. At this poin } will stand the
 GREAT CENTRAL CITY OF THE FAR WEST.
 In every respect of centrality, climate, loca situation, position with reference to North South, East and West, Pueblo is destined tt become the great commercial city of the Rock, Mountains. For one thousand miles along tht base of the mountain range there is no poin equal to it as & commercial center.

 South Pueblo has been regularly laid out ant plated, streets opened and graded, 10, ,000 tree !, planted along the avenues and public squares large park laid out and planted, bridge r built, and all the foundations for prosper ous town broadly and intelligently laid. Th' streets are 100 feet wide, the central boulevard , 15O feet. Acequias, or miniature canals, rul 7 along the front of each sidewalk. The main work, however, is the great irri gating canal, 20 miles in length, which ha already been built at 8 cost of $90,000. This canal covers and waters tract of 10, GOO acres, and this tract constitutes the colon, settlement of South Pueblo.
 South Pueblo differs from the generality o towns just starting, in having already estab lished railway, telegraph, and express and post al connections with the entire country.
 The old town of Pueblo is located on tn north bank of the river, and just opposite Soul f Pueblo, being connected by four completes bridges and 8 horse railway. Colonists, in addition to the facilities of tn ) new town, will have all the advantages in tn } way of markets, society, &c., afforded by tn old town.
 ) South Pueblo is not an experiment. On 5 thousand people are now on the colony grounds l The title is clear and simple, confirmed b recent act of Congress, and now in tn trustees of the Company.
