it stands at the head of all the Territories.
Geographically, Colorado is in the very van
Of the column OF solid migration. being the
westward front of that great tier OF prosper

moves in straight lines-the population OF
any one climate, soil or temperature follow
ing Its parallel OF latitude. This has been the
uniform history Of settlement in this country.
Colorado, However, will have the advantage
OF her old sisters, in that while their settle

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

Already her condition reveals her vantage

SOUTHERN COLORADO
Southern Colorado is the richest. most fer
tile. and mildest-tempeIed section of the great
Territory of Colorado. 1t is State within
itself OF magnificent proportions, incalculable
natural resources, and diversity of soil and
climate, and 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 and petroleum.
PUEBLO
The capital city of this great region is
Pueblo. located on the old trading route of the
Santa Fe trail, just where that ancient high
way crossed and the trunk-ne of railway now
crosses the Arkansas river.
Pueblo is an old, established point. 1t
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 a
century. 1t has therefore solid foundation
II is now 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 tow
ard this, its own proper position, is now go
/ ing on under the auspices of the Denver and
| Rio Grande railway, which has opened to
colony settlement and improvement the land
| on the south bank of the Arkansas, heretofore
unoccupied 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.
! 10000 trees planted along the avenues and
public squares a large park laid out and
| planted, bridges built, and all the foundations
! for a prosperous town broadly aud inteiii-
! gently 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 nri-
eating canal 20 miles IN length, which has
already been built mt a cost of @90, 900.
This cansl covers and waters a tract of 10,
600 acres. and this tract constitutes the colony
settlement of South Pueblo.
South Pueblo differs from the generality
of towns just starting in having already
established railway telegraph and express
and postal connections with the entire coun-
try.
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 aud horse-raiway.
Colonists. in addition to the facilities Of the
new town, will have al the advantages in the
way of markets, society, etc. 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.
