This touches the Denver and Rio Grande in a weak spot. --- Pueblo's chief amusement seems to be, voting bonds to railroad companies, and then employing lawyers to dispute their validity in the Courts. ## pg. 3 New signs, new stores, and new houses in every part of town, in course of erection indicate a continued growth in Trinidad. --- Proposals are invited for carrying the mail from Grenada, Colorado, to Fort Union, New Mexico. - 200 miles. --- A stage line is not in active operation from Del Norte to San Juan City. Antelope Park, sixty miles from Del Norte, and forty miles from the mines. --- The Chieftain has a letter from a Missouri party, who desires to establish a woolen factory in Southern Colorado. It says, that Pueblo is the centre of the wool trade of Southern Colorado and Northern New Mexico, a fact we very much doubt. It is a little too much on one side. Trinidad is a far better point, in every respect, has as good water power as Pueblo, is not better; is the point at which the trade of Northern Colorado, Kansas and New Mexico must concentrate, as the two roads, the Denver ad R.G. and the A.T.&S R.R's, will within a year have depots at Trinidad. It is almost impossible for the wool trade of New Mexico to reach Pueblo, without passing through Trinidad, and when it reaches this point, is it sure to diverge towards the East and aim for either West Las Animas or Granada. If any party desires to establish a woolen factory, where it will eventually prove a profitable investment, we affirm Trinidad to be the point. --- A meeting of the Trinidad Base Ball Club, held Monday evening 27th, the following gentlemen were elected officers, for the ensuing six months, viz: - R.
