Population 412,198. Colorado has a land
area of 103,645 square miles. The surface consists of mountains
and parks, foothills and plains. It is intersected by the Sierra
Madre range of the Rocky Mountains, among which are several of
the highest peaks, including Pike's, Long's and many others. The
mountains enclose wonderful valleys or basins, known as parks,
which are well timbered. The eastern part of the State is an
immense plain, well adapted to stock-raising. Agriculture is
limited, as irrigation is necessary to a good production of all
crops. Cattle-raising and sheep-farming are the chief
agricultural pursuits. Lumbering is an important industry, but
the mining of gold, silver and other metals is the chief source
of wealth. The several counties in which newspapers are
