THE COMING CITY.
The Next Great Point on the Northern Pa
cific Road.

The Next Great Point on the Northern Pa
cific Road.
A business circular which is being circu-
lated on the reverse side of private letters,
gives so clear an account of the new and
rising city on the Northern Pacific that we
copy it entire:
Livingston, Montana territory, situated
on the main line of the Northern Pacific
railroad, at the junction of its National
Park branch, and at the crossing of the
Yellowstone river, is the terminal point of
the Yellowstone division on the
east, the Rocky Mountain division on the
welt, and the National Yellowstone divis-
ion on the south. From this point the
N. P. r. R. Co. have under construction a
branch road running to the National
park, and spur to the coal and iron mines
about four miles distant; they also are
building their principal machine shops
east Of the Pacific coast, and will also con-
shops at Brainerd, they now employ about
$500 men; it is estimated the shops
at Livingston, independent of the
rolling mills, will give employment to
about the same number; in addition, they
have laid out, and will build large round
houses, cattle sheds, etc. Timber (pine
and FRY abound in great quantities; coal
of excellent quality mot Ignite iron, gold.
silver, and very fine limestone abound.
The limestone is particularly fine and val
liable, being the only limestone found on
the line of this road from Dnlkth to this
point, being about 1000 miles. The man
ufacture of lime is destined to become a
large and important industry; the quartz
mines are very rich, as are the placer
mines, lying but short distance south, at
Emigrant Gulch; company to erect
smelling works here is now being formed.
Lying southeast of the town site is a
largs body of level land, susceptible Of
raising all kinds of grain, and north
and west, cattle ranches are numerous.
The immense body of tourists from all
parts of the world, who will yearly visit
the celebrated National park, disembark
here, and spend few days in resting, both
in going in, and coming out of the park.
Arrangements will soon be consummated to
build large hotel with all modern i'm
provements for their accommodation.
Among other Improvements already pro-
vided for is a national bank with capital
of $50, 1000, one-half of the capital stock
being subscribed by the undersigned. and
a contract let for the construction of our
building. The location of the town is pic
turesque in the extreme, being almost at
the foot of the Rocky mountains; the
streams are cold and clear, and abound in
trout; the air dry and healthful. The
wonderful and happy combination of ag-
ricultural, grazing and timber lands, min
eral, coal, iron, lime and sand stone, gold
and silver bearing quartz. as well as
placer mines; the travel to and from the
National park, the great shops and rolling
mills of the Northern Pacific road, fully
warrant the assertion that this is to make
one of the great towns of the new North
west. Before the town was plated or a
site 1000 people living in tents and tenn
porary structures, waiting the first oppor-
tunity to purchase lots to erect permanent
buildings in which to commence business.
One of the largest banking firms in
America have decided to open a branch
of their New York house here, and
still third bank will start in. In the early
spring, long before the town is year old,
5000 people will claim it as their home,
and lots will have increased in value over
our selling prices from one hundred to
several thousand per cent. My associates
and myself own about one-half the origi-
nal town site, portion of which, only, we
offer at the present time for sale, after
which we will advance our prices. Full
particulars and prices will be furnished
upon application to
