There has been a large emigration this
spring through Pueblo to the San Juan
gold region. The San Juan mines are
about 200 miles southwest of Pueblo, on
the other side of the range. They have
a great reputation for richness, and are
attracting more gold seekers at the pres-
ent time than any others, except, per-
haps, those of the Black Hills. The near-
est railway point to these mines is Pueb-
lo, and emigrants from the East here
transfer from the rail to wagons or stages
for the remainder of the journey. Where
I was in Pueblo, the, town was full •of
intending San Juaders. The hotel where
I stopped for a day or two had a dozen
or more of them.. .16aong them was a
young Canadian froaa near BroAville,
also bound for San Yuan., had been
in Kansas and Colorado for several weeks
looking for a "place to locate." Of Kanfias
he had formed a very good opinion, es-
pecially of the Southern portion, but of
Colorado he did not think so highly. He
could not see honr people made a living in
such a withered -oat place." He also
thought the moral status of the country
very low, and it must be confessed that
Pueblo and many of the Western towns
do not impress one very favorably in this
respect.
