The Branch Limo to the Yellowstone National
Park has itE terminal point here, and al the i'm
Dlehse travel 60 that famous resort 10 compelled
TO stop here from few hours time 10 number
of days. The principal shops OF the railroad
company between BraineTd and the Pacific Ocean
are now being built here. They viii give ena-
ployment to probably 1900 men. Pine timber is
plenty IN the surrounding country, and varioue
sawmilis in the immediate vicinity Of the town
furnish work for hosts Of employees. the valleys
of the Yellowstone, Shields and Smith rivers sre
vast and very rich IN agricultural resources, and
we'll settled. Their trade is entirely tribntary
to Livingston, wlile magnificent cattle ranches
abound IN every direction; vast mines of true bi-
luminous ccal, which can be cooked for q cents
per ton; also rich iron mines are within two to
four miles from town. aud are being worked.
The gold placer mines Of Enigralt Guloh, Bear
Greyice, Mil Greek, and Eight-A[ile Creek, are
all in the Yellowstone Yalley just south OF Liy-
ingston, directly tributary to 1t, ard ara 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
me brick clay are but two miles distant, and the
manufacture of lime is already important in
dustry. this being the first point after leaving Du-
1uth on the east, 1,000 miles, where lime rock is
found. There are soma zoo buildings in course
of construction. The Park Addition on which
the Lew 1000 school house is expected to be
built IS the most desirable residence property in
town, while the Palace Addition contains the
cheapest business property offered for sale-the
tendency of business and business Improvements
being largely in that direction. There are two
banks. the First National and private bank; two
newspapers, one daily and one weekly. smelt
ing and reduction company is also IN process of
formation, to be located here. There are many
chances for business enterprises Of various kinds.
Like all new countries, the opportunities for
profitable employment are very good and work
men as well as men of capital viii find plenty Of
chances In and around the town. Livingston Is
less than year old, 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 company's rail
road shops, Brainerd; summer visitors, Saratoga;
lumber, Eau Claire; silver and gold mines, Den
yer; cattle Kansas City; iron and coal, Pittsburg;
that combination of all of these factors as IS
found here should, within the next FIVE years
make this point city of &C least 0,000 people.
The prediction may seem a wild one, but we have
yet to see or know anyone who, few years ago.
was accused of being wild then in their predic-
tions, who predicted one-half of what has actual
ly occurred in the Northern Pacific country. We
sold lot in Fargo lev years ago fer 500 each
chat would sell to-day for $40 0OG; acres at James
town for SIS per acre cost as cents that to-day
sell Tor 81 800, and built on. We have acres
to-day in Fargo which cost 1914 cents that are
in town lots selling at the rate OF 81 $50 pei
aero. So lots at Livingston which we now ifei
at from SIS to $3.50 win, inside of 3 years, sell al
from $500 TO $4,000 apiece. They have done se
at all good points on the road in the past, and
they viii in the future-psrticUlarly at an exeep
tiOIally good point Like this. We ed -ance price
inJnly.
