The Branch Line to the Yellowstone National
Park has its terminal point here, and all the i'm
mense travel to that famous resort is compelled
to stop here from few rs 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 men. Pine timber is
plenty In the surrounding country, and various
sawmills in the immediate vicinity of the town
furnish work for hosts of employ 8. The valleys
OF the Yellowstone, Shields AMI Smith rivers are
vast and very rich in agricultural resources, and
are well settled. Their trade is entirely tributary
to Livingston, while magnificent cattle ranches
abound IN every directions vast mines of true bi-
luminous coal, which can be cooked for ~ cents
per ton; also rich iron mines ara within two to
four miles from town, are being worked.
The gold placer mines of Emigrant Guloh, 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
county,, 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 IL
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 ST., 900 school house is expected to be
built is the most desirable residence property III
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 mpany is also process OF
formation, to he located here. There are many
chances for hnsiress enterprises of various kinds
Like al rr~ centres, the o portunities for
pr'Ihts'i:e ''f ,,u. 4lt are very good and work
Men &c v.e!! ar If capital will find plenty OF
chances n a;'l i'on;.d the town. Livingston Is
less tha' 80, ,er it is probably the second
largest cay IL. "vtana. 1t is not surprising
when u.,s cuuoIJ ra hat agriculture alone has
made Farg,; The Northern Pacific company's rail-
road shops, Erainerd; 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 at least so, 600 people.
The prediction may seem wild one, but we have
yet to see or know anyone who, q few years ago,
was accused of being wild then in their predjc-
tions, who predicted one-haif Of what has actual
ly occurred in the Northern Pacific country. We
sold lot in Fargo few years ago for 800 each
that would sell to-day for $40 GEO; at james
town for SIS per acre (cost 48 cents) that to-day
sell for 81 500, and are built on. We have acres
to-day in Fargo which cost 4815 cents that are
now in town lots selling at the rate of ESQ per
aero. So lots at Living ton which we now otfer
at from $25 to $3.50 WILL inside of years, sell at
from $500 to 1000 apiece. They have done so
at all good points on the road in the past, and
they will in the future particularly at an e1cep
tionally good poiIt like this. We ad -ance price
in July.
