    c.l. printed: The city of sunshine and broad streets, nestling at the \ foot of Pike's Peak, whose hoary head is seen lifted into \ the clouds in the distance. It is a beautiful city of 30,000 \ people, six thousand feet above the sea. In the immediate \ foreground is the Alamo Hotel, and across it, to the west, \ wrapped in the embrace of the rugged foothills, is the \ entrance to the sublime Garden of the Gods and pic- \ turesque Manitou. It is a favorite resort of all classes \ of tourists, from the millionaire to the one taking their \ first sight-seeking journey, and has accommodations to suit \ all. Is surrounded by many of the most sublimely pic- \ turesque points of interest in the whole Rocky Mountain \ country.
