The Branch Line 10 the Yellowstone National
Pack has It's terminal point here, and all the i'm
mere travel 10 that famous resort is compelled
to stop here from q few ho rs time to number
Of Gays. The principal shops of the railroad
com pany between BraineId and the Pacific Ocean
are now being built here. They will give en-
pioynent to probably logo men. Pine timber is
plenty in the surrounding country, ard various
sawmills III the immediate vicinity of the town
furnish work for hosts OF employ :. The valleys
OF the Yellowstone, Shields al Smith rivers are
vast and very rich in agricultural resources, and
are 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 cooked for Is cents
per ton; also rich iron mines are within two to
four miles from town, d are being worked.
The gold placer mines Of Emigrant Guloh, Bear
Crevice, Mill Greek, and Eight-Mile Creek, are
all in the Yellowstone Valley just south of Liy-
ingston, directly tributary to it, and are being
actively worked. That wonderfully rich quartz
count v, silver and sold known the Clark's
Fork District, is south OF town, and Livingston
is the headquarters and Quitting point. In
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 after leaving Du-
luth on the east, ,001 miles, where lime rock is
found. There are some 200 buildings in course
Of construction. The Park Addition on which
tie new sl7 ,O00 school house is expected to be
built is the most desirable residence property in
town, while the Palace Addi ion contains the
cheapest business property offered for saie-the
tendency of business ard 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 mpany is also IN process of
formation, to be located here. There a:e 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. It is not surprising
when one considers that agriculture alone has
made Fargo; the Northern Pacitlc conpany's rail
road shops, Brainerd summer visitors, S.ratoga;
lumber, Eau Claire: silver and gold mines, Den
W.T.; cattle Kansas City; iron and coal, Plttsburg;
that combination of all 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 ore, but we have
vet 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 has actual
ly occurred in the Northern Pacific country. We
sold lot in Fargo few years ago for SlU0 each
that would sell to-day for $40 0e0 acres at James
town for SIS per acre cost IS cents) that to-day
sell ior $500, and are built on. We have acres
to-day in Fargo which cost 49, cents that are
town lots selling at the rate of 81, $50 per
acre. So lots at Living ton which we fer
at fiom s25 to $3.50 viii, inside OF years, sell at
from S50U to $4,000 apiece. They have doues
at all gond points OF the road in the past, and
they will in the future-particulariy at an excep-
tionally good poilt lie this. We ad -Ence price
