Pueblo, located on the OLD tra01ng route
of the Santa Fe trail, just where that an
Gent highway crossed and the trunk line
OF railway now crosses the Arkansas
River.
Pueblo is an old, well-established
point. 1t has been a missionary station,
trading post, a military fort, and is now
a thriving Western town. Its location
has been determined by the established
routes of travel for over a century. 1t has
therefore a 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 1000
miles along the base OF the mountain
range there is no point equal to 1t as a
commercial center.
SOUTH PUEBLO.
The systematic development OF Pueblo
toward this, its own proper position, is
now going on under the auspices OF the
Denver s Rio Grande Railway, who have
opened to colony settlement and improve
ment the land on the south bank of the
Arkansas, heretofore unoccupied by rea-
son OF the want Of capital in Colorado to
construct the great irrigating canal neces-
sary 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 fOunda-
lions Tor prosperous town broadly and
int pl IIOrnr1 1e,I
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
irrigating canal, twenty miles in length,
which has already been built at q 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
established railways, telegraph 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 op-
| posite South Pueblo, being connected by
| four completed bridges and horse rail
way.
Colonists, in addition to the facilities of
| the new town, will have all the advan-
tages 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.
