COLORADO'S SCHEME.

A Train of Specimens is Shown to the Wide World.

Colorado, one of the live States of the great west, is up and doing when it comes to advertising her resources, both in the mineral and agricultural way. A palace train composed of five cars has been fitted up with all of the products from the various districts of the State. The cars are painted with landscapes on the outside of interesting points that will attract the attention of the investing world. The train is taken to every quarter where any good can result and a competent crew is aboard that thoroughly explains the resources of the State.

The effect of this wholesale advertising has been to make Colorado one of the big States of the Union. Every nook and corner that invites any inspection is given credit, and when a stranger is looking for a chance to invest, he naturally turns to the State that does the advertising, as he can receive information from those in charge that he could not possibly receive in any other manner.

Not only this, but he is shown just where he can locate, the price of the ground that is in the section and whether it is mineral or agricultural.

It would not be possible to keep a train, but one car of specimens of mineral and agricultural products could be easily gathered and shown the people along the main line. Colorado has placed a scheme in operation that will surely pay and should Nevada see her way clear to copy the scheme, it will be a paying investment.
