COlOrnuOs
Colorado to-day is the center of the
best as we'll as the largest emigration
from the United States. And with reason,
for both in the way Of geographical po.
sition, internal resources and cape city for
diversified industry it stands at the head
of all the Territories.
Geographically, Colorado is in the
very van of the column of solid migra-
tion, being the western front of that great
tier of prosperous commonwealths which
belt the Union-Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illi-
nois, Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, Colo.
RADIO. Emigration always moves in
straight lines-the population of any one
climate soil or temperature following its
parallel of latitude. This has been the
uniform history of settlement in this
country.
Colorado, however, will have the ad-
vantage of her older sisters in that, while
their settlement was slow, fortuitous and
disintegrated, hers is rapid, organized
and ystematic-while theirs was the
work of individuals hers is the work Of
great organizations, supported by expert
ence, capital and combination. She be-
gins at point the others only reached
after generation.
vantage ground and demonstrates her
position as the leader of the great column
OF the Middle States.
Colorado is even now an exceptionally
favored territory for any one thinking Of
going West to settle. Society is already
established there; railway communication
with the Atlantic and Pacific States is
direct and good; the Territorial Govern
ment economically organized and hon
estly administered, exempting the settlers

| SOUTHERN COLORADO.
Southern Colorado is the richest, most
fertile and midesttempered section OF
the great Territory of Colorado. 1t is a
State within itself of magnificent proper.
tions, incalculable natural resources, and
a diversity Of soil and climatesand Gu
pacity for agricultural, pastural, mining,
manufacturing and commercial develop
ment which renders it self-suporting.
Living south of the Great Divide it is
the most genial climate of all Colorado.
The Arkansas, the greatest river run
ming from the Rocky Mountains, gives il
the richest valley and strongest water
power in Colorado.
Embracing in its limits the South PARK
and San Juan country, it covers the rich
est mining districts of the Territory, Its
minerals being not merely gold and sill
yer, but coal, iron, copper, marble, peuo
leum.
PUEBLO.
The capital city of this great region is
Pueblo, located on the old trading route
of the Santa Fe trail, just where that an
cient highway crossed and the trunk line
of railway now crosses the Arkansas
River.
Pueblo is an old, we'll established
point. 1t has been Il missionary station
a trading post, military fort, and is now
a thriving Western town. Its location
routes of travel for over century. 1t has
therefore a solid foundation. 1t is now q
railway center. Five roads, two built anC
three building, converge here. Al this
point will stand the
GREAT CENTRAL CITY OF THE FAR WEST
In every respect OF centrality, climate
local situation, position with reference tC
North, South, East and West, Pueblo is
destined 10 become the great commercial
city of the Rocky Mountains. For 1,00C
miles along the base of the mountain
range there is no point equal to it 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 & 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 tC
construct the great irrigating canal neces
sary to supply water.
South Pueblo has been regularly laid
ou: and plated, streets opened and graded
10000 trees planted along the avenues and
public squares, Il large park laid out and
planted, bridges built, and all the founda
tions for prosperous 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
irrigating canal, twenty miles In length
which has already been built at cost OF
$4,000
This canal covers and waters a 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 or
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 o.
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 tht
colony grounds.
The title is clear and simple, confirmed
by recent act Of Congress, and now il
the trustees of the company.
