The Branch Line to the Yellowstone National
Park has Its terminal point here, and all the i'm
nlense travel to that famous resort is compelled
to stop here from a few hours time to a number
OF days. The principal shops of the railroad
company between Brainerd and the Pacific Ocean
are now being built here. They will give en-
ployment to probably 1000 mon. Pine timber is
plenty In the surrounding country, and various
sawmills III the immediate vicinity of the town
furnish work for hosts of employ, 1. The valleys
oe the Yellowstone, Shields ani Smith rivers are
vast and very rich Ill agricultural resources, and
well settled. their trade is entirely tribut .ry
to Livingston, while magnificent cattle ranches
abound In every direction; vast mines of true BIZ
luminous coal, which can be coked for 12 cents
per ton; also rich iron mines are within two to
four miles from town, d are being worked.
The gold placer mines of EmigTant GulCh, Eear
Crevice, Mill Creek, and Eight-Mile Greek, are
all in the Yellowstone Valley just south of Liv-
ingston, directly tributary to it. and are being
actively worked. That wonderfully rich quartz
country, silver and gold, known as the Clark's
Fork District, is south Of town, and Livingston
Is the headquarters and Quitting point. I'M
mense deposits of limestone, sandstone, clay and
hEe brick clay, are but two miles distant, and the
manufacture OF lime is already an important in
dustry, this being the first point after leaving Du
luth on the east, 1000 miles, where lime rock is
found. There are some 200 buildings In course
of construction. The Park Addition on which
the new 81, ,0O0 school house is expected to lie
built is the most desirable residence property IN
town, while the Palace Addi ion contains the
cheapest business property offered for sale-the
tendency OF business and business improvements
being largely in that direction. There two
banks the First National and private bank; two
newspapers, one daily and one wcekl ly. snelt
ing and reduction Inpany is also in process of
formation, to be located here. There a. many
chances for business enterprises of various kinds.
Like all new countries, the portunities for
profitable employment are very good and work
men as well as men of capital will find plenty of
chances in and around the town. Livingston Is
less than year DID, yet it is probably the second
largest city in Montana. 1t is not surprising
when one considers that agriculture alone has
made Fargo; the Northern Pacific coTpany's rail
road shops, Brainerd; summer visitors, Saratoga;
lumber, Eau Claire; silver aid gold mines, Den
yer; cattle Kansas City; iron and coal, Pittsburg;
that q combination Of al Of these factors as is
found here should, within the next five years
make this point city of at least $4,000 people.
The prediction may seem wild che, but TIVE have
yet to see or know anyone who, few years ago,
was accused of being wild then in their predic
tons, who predicted one-half Of what bas actual
ly occurred in the Northern Pacific country. We
sold lot in Fargo few years ago for SlO0 each
that would sell to-day for $40 090 acres at James
t1wn for SIS per acre (cost IS cents) that to-day
sell for S1,5C0, and are built on. We have acres
to-day in Fargo which cost 4615 cents that are
in town lots selling at the rate of 81 ,250 per
acre. So lots at Living ton which we now fer
at from s25 to $3.50 WILL inside OF years, sell at
from $500 to $4,000 apiece. They have done SO
at all good points the road in the past, and
they Will in the future-particularly at an excep-
tionally good poiLt like this. We ad -ance price
inJuly.
