8, CONTAINS THE LATEST MAP OF DENVEF. ^>* tifiiiii B1 Vol. I. DENVER, SEPTEMBER 15, 1883. No. III. DENVER, THE COMMON CENTRE. Denver, the metropolis of the West, and the entrepot of the vast Rocky mountain region, has now a population of fully 70,- 000. These figures are not surprising in themselves, but the rapid increase since 1880, when the last census showed a population of less than 40,000, is wonderful. This unprecedented growth marks Denver as the Chicago of the New West. It is the commercial centre, the supply depot of all that rich territory lying between the Missouri and the Pacific. The past has made Denver a beautiful city as to location, and her citizens have built it up as a model of beauty far better built than any other Western city. The surrounding country, as well as the East and West, have been drawn upon for the wealth that has centered here; the good taste of the people has given to the world a rest for those who would leave the overcrowded cities of the East, and the unexceptionable climate makes homes for health and permanency. Many very active business men have been attracted here by the advantages offered and the possibilities of commercial life. The development of every section of the Great West has been of the greatest advantage to its metropolis. The opening of mines or new camps, or the building of new cities, directly assist Denver in broadening the limits of her population and the scope of her industrial and commercial enterprises. She is, and ever has been, the pride of the people of a vast and wealthy region, and as development has been made in any sections, there has been progress in the city. Her interests are identical with those of all other places, as she is the point where the advantages, arising from the general progress made, are most apparent. The mines give up their wealth to the building up of the City of the Plains, and all the men of the interior pay a willing tribute to the growth of a place which they in some way regard as their future home. The genial climate with which Colorado is blessed has brought thousands to be citizens of Denver, and the life-sustaining atmosphere has become popular throughout the New World. With these surroundings it could not be otherwise than that this city should become —as it is to-day—the trade-centre of the entire West and its base of supplies for every section. In capital, manufacturing, merchandise and the production of all articles of necessity for this new Western empire, Denver is the one common centre from which supplies are drawn, and in return for which all parts become tributary to the wealth, growth and beauty of the metropolis. A solid and safe business, with remarkably large and certain profits, is the boast of her inhabitants. The site of Denver is pre-eminently cosmopolitan, here being the focus to which converge all of the wealth-producing forces of nature, and the financial benefits arising from the ever-growing civilization and commerce of the New West. THE TIME HAS COME for the working man and the mechanic to lay aside some portion of his weekly earnings—to put it in a savings bank that never fails—that always pays a large dividend on the investment—its cashiers never absconding, nor the doors of its depository ever closing. Denver, while like a miniature Philadelphia, is a city of homes, yet many hundreds of its employees have been and to-day are paying all that is left above their bare necessities to fill the greed of the exacting landlords; cooped up in garrets and so-called lodging houses, and actually suffering for the pure air that God has given us in such pure and life-giving qualities. The only pleasure that the patient wife and ltttle ones have is roaming the streets viewing the happiness of the more fortunate of our beautiful city. And yet how small is the cord which binds them to their misery. Ten cents a day laid quietly away by the father of the household, will each month make a payment on a home, a year will give the title and then the foundation is laid strong and sure for the future. The old maxim that " the Gods help them who help themselves " is ever new, actual and appropriate. It should be the " home motto." Each family as it clusters 'round the family altar at evening should strengthen the bonds that bind them together; then and there devising ways and means for the purchase of a home. Every man who labors—no matter where his lot is cast— owes it to his loved ones to provide a home some place where, when work is done he can lay aside the labors of the day and in commune with his family be at rest. Denver, unlike any other city of its size, possesses tracts of beautiful lands lying around and near its suburbs which can be had now that they are divided into lots for a small price. The new West Side is a notable in stance. Lots can be had from $20 to $100 and the purchase money divided into twelve equal payments to be paid monthly. It is the harvest time for all who wish a home, and no time should be lost in calling on the agents at 286 Seventeenth street, for information, maps and particulars. Go and see them it will do you good. THE GREAT DRIVE. Denver the beautiful, is annually visited by many thousand tourists, whose ranks embrace the tired merchant seeking a joyous holiday; the capitalist, with penetrating eye, seeking investment, safe and careful, far away from the wiles and snares of Wall street; the pleasure seeker, whose only idea is enjoyment; and then our own merchants, their clerks and the many young business men of our city, who desire to look upon the beauties that surround the Queen City of the Plains. All are interested, but having no direct information, drive at random through and around the city. Let all such read : Leave the heart of the city, by Fif-j teenth or Nineteenth street; cross the Platte river and then ascend to Backus avenue, viewing the beautiful, happy homes and costly residences until the Boulevard of the town of Highlands is reached. Thence southward along the Boulevard, where enticing glimpses of Denver are seen and amid its shady avenues real enjoyment is to be had. Cross the famous South Golden road and then reach the South Boulevard. The first attraction will be Villa Park hotel and the grand Barnum estate. Here the great P. T. Barnum, having sold his estate to Dr. W. II. Buchtel, has, through his agents, Dingee & Co., literally spread himself. The hotel deserves more than a passing notice, being a home-like place at which our wives, daughters and families can visit and be entertained, the conveyances be taken care of and a lunch obtained—without fear of boisterous characters} or anything disagreeable, no liquors being sold on the premises. While resting, visit the grand reservoir, and from its banks view Denver in all its glory. From the extreme north to the last point of interest in the south, all lies outstretched before you—the foothills and mountain range from Boulder and beyond, to the Spanish Peaks on the south—present an ever-changing, beautiful panorama. Then wheel along the boulevard southward until Alameda avenue is reached, thence to Broadway, near the exposition, and homeward until Nineteenth street is reached again. You will be pleased and be thankful upon your return, for you will have seen Denver as it is. You may regret it, for while you are waiting others are selecting their future homes on the New West Side, Villa Park and Barnum's property. \
