COLORADO SPRINGS, !
February pod. 1888.


DEAR SIR:--All indications point to a
rapid and permanent growth OF this city
snd to the conclusion that it will be one
tf the great cities Of Colorado. There is
no longer any room for doubt that east.
ern railroads are pointing this way for a
connection with the Midland R. r., the
j.. & r. G. r. r. and the d. T. 4 G. R.
r., which latter road will bs running
through to the gulf within two months,
and Colorado Springs will soon be a
railroad center and large commercial
snd business point in addition to what
st now is. And Colorado City, only ~
miles away, will certainly be manufac-
turing and smelling point. You know
what Manitou is, and within few years
Colorado Springs, Colorado City and
1fanitou will be builtinto practically one
city. The ground all the way between
Colorado Springs and Colorado City is
now all plated into town lots which are
selling rapidly and nice buildings are
being erected at intervals along the
road. You see therefore that any loca-
tion here must necessarily be in a good
place. In addition to the rapid improve
ment here in 1887 know of large num-
bers of more new houses that will be
built here early in the spring, and OF
course there are others that have not
come to my notice, and never day
elapses that many lots are not sold here.
The New Years edition of the Colo
RADIO Springs Gazette, Of which some cop.
les were sent to Hillsboro people, was a
truthful statement of our present condi.
tion and future prospects.
Regarding the chances here of men oi
energy and means I say to you without
hesitation, and through you to anyone
in your city or county, that a shrewd
business man with money back of him
can make fortune upon fortune right
here every year, barring great panics
We are going to have large and con.
tinuous growth and large accessions oi
population for many years to come, and
a man has only to invest in lands and
lots here with proper judgment to see
his money double up rapidly under his
eyes. The same is true of that busy and
advancing city of Pueblo, where Mr..
John A. Collins, of your city, lately To-
Gated. Pueblo and Colorado Springs are
so close together that Mr.. Collins or any
other operator in Pueblo or Colorado
Springs can either for himself or other
investors, overlook investments in both
cities, and using proper judgment the re-
suits will be very profitable to investors.
Upon the above predictions will stake
my business reputation, which is very
dear to me, and if you or others of your
friends should be induced to take advan-
tage of my indications either as to Colo.
RADIO Springs or Pueblo, I feel sure that
you will not only not regret it but will
be large gamer thereby.
do not often extend such urgent and
decided advice, but you seem undecided,
and hence have stated frankly what
business men of standing and mesns
can do in Colorado. l believe the
growth of Colorado in the next ten years
in wealth, population, railroads, towns,
agriculture, mining, manufacturing and
in every other material point will be
simply marvellous and much greater than
the most sanguine predictions of the
most sanguine citizens. Add to this its
fine, healthy climate and unsurpassed
scenery and it is little wonder that we
should feel pride in the Centennial
State.
THE above was handed rs for publ
cation by the gentleman who has the
original.-EDIroRs.
