THE IKRIGATION AGE.

(Continued from page 333.) 



Pueblo is becoming well known over the West on ac- 

 count of her mineral waters. The city is underlaid with a 

 stratum of mineral waters at a depth of about 1,200 feet. 

 One large sanitarium is filled with people from the whole 

 west who come here to bathe in and drink these waters. An- 

 other large bottling works plant uses these waters from an- 

 other well and the efficacy of these waters is becoming more 

 widely demonstrated. 



Pueblo business men are energetic and active and are 

 always willing to aid new enterprises coming to the city. They 

 maintain a well organized Business Men's Association, which 

 is ever vigilant to push the interests of the city. Home- 

 seekers and worthy citizens are always heartily received. In 

 the empire of which Pueblo is the metropolis there is plenty 

 of room for thousands of home builders. Many of the re- 

 sources are practically untouched and await the energetic 

 labors of the farmer, the manufacturers, and the alert man of 

 business. The banks of the city, of which there are seven, 

 are generous in aiding new enterprises. They are well handled, 

 financially strong and a credit to the city. 



The article would not be complete without a word about 

 the climate of Pueblo. Perhaps nowhere in America do the 

 people enjoy a more nearly ideal climate than this city, known 

 far and wide as Sunville. Comparison of total sunshine of 

 Pueblo during the year shows that Los Angeles alone of cities 

 in the United States equals Pueblo, each city haying 75 per 

 cent of possible. The altitude is 4,685 feet, giving the city 

 a cool, equable, invigorating climate. The location of the 

 city, south of the divide of the Arkansas and Platte, protects 

 it from the biting, sweeping winds from the north during the 

 winter. The mean annual temperature is 52 degrees, being 

 five degrees lower than Denver. The total wind velocity 

 during the year is less than twelve leading cities of the coun- 

 try located in various sections. The annual rainfall is about 

 fourteen inches, and the city in 1904 had only forty-six cloudy 

 days and only one day of fog.
