    c. printed: Scenery of the D.S.P.& P. Ry \ About 20 miles S.W. of Denver the main line \ of the D.S.P.& P.R.R. enters Platte Canon, \ and for 50 miles passes through scenes unsurpassed \ for picturesque grandure and variety of effects. \ Leaving the Platte, the road crosses Kenosha Hill, reaching an altitude of 10,140 feet. The Panoram- \ ic view of South Park as seen soon after leaving \ the summit is one that for sublimity is without a \ parallel upon the continent. \ W.H. JACKSON, Photo. 413 Larimer St. Denver, Colo.
