The Branch Line to the Yellowstone National
Park has its terminal point here, and all the I'M
mense travel to that famous resort ls compelled
to stop here from few hours time to a number
of days. The principal shops Of tie railroad
company between Brainerd and the Pacinc Ocean
are now being built here. They will give en-
ployment to probably 1000 men. Pine timber ls
plenty in the surrounding country, and various
sawmills In the immediate vicinity OF the town
furnish work for hosts of employ The valleye
or the Yellowstone, Shields and Smith rivers are
vast and very rich In agricultural resources, and
well settled. Their trade is entirely tributary
to Livingston, while magnificent cattle ranches
abound In every direction; vast mines of true bl-
luminous coal, which can be cooked for u cents
per ton; also rich iron mines are within two to
four miles from town, aGd are being worried.
The gold placer mines of Emigrant Gulch, Bear
Crevice, Mill Creek, and Eight-Mile Creek, 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
fine brick clay, are but two miles distant, and the
manufacture of lime is already an important in
dustry, this being the first point leaving Du
luth on the east, l ,00e miles, where lime rock is
found. There some 200 buildings In course
of construction. The Park Addition on which
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. snelt ,
ing and reduction company Is also IN process or
formation, to be located here. There are many
chances for business enterprises various kinds.
Like all new countries, the @ pOrtunltle5 Tor
profitable employment are very good and work
men as well as OF capital VIII ind plenty or
chances in and around the town. Livingston IL
less than year old, yet it is probably the second
largest city i'll Montana: 1t is not surprising.
when one considers that agriculture alone has
made Fargo; the Northern Pacific cOnpany's rail
road shops, BrainerG; summer visitors, Saratoga;
lumber, Eau Claire; silver and gold mines, Den
YER; cattle Kansas City; iron and coal, PiJsburg;
that combination OF al of these factors as Is
found here should, within the next f5ve years
make this point city of at least $4,000 people.
The prediction may seem wild one, but we have
yet to seq or know anyone who, few years ago,
was accused of being wild then in their predlc-
tons, who predicted one-half OF what has actual
~ occurred IN the Northern Pacific country. We
sold lot; in Fargo few years age for Sl00 each
that would sell to-day for $40 Geo. acres at James
town for SIS per acre (cost 4S cents) that today
sell for 81 800, and are built We have acres
to-day in Fargo which cost 1914 cents that are
now in town lots selling at the rate of 1850 per
acre. So lots at Living ton which we now cffer
at from $25 to $3.50 will, inside of years, sell at
from $500 to $4,000 apiece. They have doneso
at all good points on the road in the past, and
they viii in the future-particularly at 81 excep-
tionally good poi1.t like this. We adssanee price
in July.
