as well rs the largest emigration from the
Uuited States. And with reason, for both in
the way Of geographical position, internal re-
sources and capacity for diversified industry,
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
Gus commonwealth which belt the Union

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. 40 ir'
Colorado, however. will have the advantage
of her older sisters, in that while their settle
ment was slow, fortnitous and disintegrated,
hers is rapid, organized and systematic-while
theirs was the work of individuals. hers is
the work Of great organizations, supported by
experie1c nee, capital and combination. She be-
gins at q 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

SOUTHERN COLORADO.
Southern Colorado is the richest, most fer
tile, and mildest-tempered section Of the
great Territory of Colorado. It is q State
within itself of magnificent proportions, in
calculable natural resources and a diversity
of soil and climate, and a capacity for agri-
cultural, pastoral, mining, manufacturing
and commercial development which render It
seff-supporting. t.rg f1-s. i..
Lying south of the Great Divide it il 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. r. IN. .r.. -f.l.. .r.
Embracing in its limits the South Park and
San Juan country, it covers the richest min
ing districts OF the Territory, it's minerals
beng not merely gold and silver, but coal,
iron, copper, marble and petroleum.
pa. PUEBLo. ..,.E
The capital city Of this great region is
Pueblo. located on the old trading route of
the santa Fe trail, just where that ancient
highway crossed and the trunk-line Of rail
way now crosses the Arkansas river.
Pueblo is ali old, well-establlsbed point. 1t
has been a missionary station, a ~trading-post,
a military fort, and is now q thriving Western
town. Its location has been determined by
the established routes of travel for over a
1t has therefore q solid foundation.
1t ID now 4 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 centrally, 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 1t as a commercial center.
SOUTH PUEBLO.
The systematic development of Pueblo tow
ard this, its own proper POSITION, is now 60
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
by reason Of the want Of capital
in Colorado TO construct the great irriga:ing
canal necessary to supply water.
South Pueblo has been regularly laid out
plated, streets opened and graded, 10, 900
trees planted along the avenues and public
squares, n large park laid out and planted,
rf1nna bIntlf and all Tho M n.a fn~a
town broadly and intelligently
laid. The streets are 100 feet wide. the CEN
tral boulevard $50 feet. Acequias, or min
Iature Canals, run along the front OF each side
walk.
The main work, however, is the great irri-
eating canal, 90 miles in length, which has
been built ut a cost OF $50, 600.
This canal covers and waters a tract of TO-
200 acres, and this tract constitutes the colony
settlement of South Pueblo.
South Pueblo differs from the generality
Of OWNS 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
nortn bank of he river, and just opposite
South Pueblo, being connected by four COM
pleted bridges and II horse-railway.
Colonists. in addition to the facilities Of the
new town, will have all the advantages in the
way OF markets, society, etc, afforded by the
Did town.
South Pueblo is not an experiment. One
thousand people are now Oh he colony
grounds.
The title is clear and simple. confirmed by a
recent act of Congress, and now in the trustees
Of the company.
