The Branch Line to the Yellowstone National
Perx has Its terminal point here, and all the i'm
| mense travel to that famous resort is compelled
| To stop here from few ho1rs time to q 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
| eawulius Ii the immediate vicinity of the town
furnish work for hosts OF employ s. The vni,srs

vast and very rich IL agricultural resources. aJ.d
are well settled. Their trade is entirely trbut ~
| to Livingston, while magnificent cattle ranches
abound in every direction; vast mines of true bi-
luminous coal, which can be coked for II cents
per ton; also rich iron mines are 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, ara
| 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
tine brick clay, are but two miles distant and the
manufacture of lime is already an important in
dostry. this being the first point after leaving Du
luth on the east, 1909 miles, where Lime rock is
found. There are some 200 buildings in course
OF construction. The Park Addition on which
the new Sl7, 900 school house is expected to be
built ls the most desirable residence property in
town, while the Palace Addiion contains ths
cheapest business property offered for sale-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. & sunelt
ing and reduction mpany is also IN process OF
formation, to be located hero. There are many
chances for business enterprises OF various kinds.
1tyno AIz
| profitable employment are very good and work
men as well as mel OF capital will find plenty OF
chances In and around the town. Livingston ls
less than year old, yet it is probably the second
| largest city in Montana. Ii is not surprising
when one considers that agriculture alone has
| mace Fargo; the Northern Pacific coinpany's rail-
road shops, BTaiuerd; summer visitors, Saratoga;
lumber, Eau Claire; silver and gold mines, Den
yer; cattle Kansas City: iron and coal, Pittsburg;
| that combination of ali OF these factors as Is
| found here should, within the next FIVE years
mako this point city of at least 60 coo people,
Inc prediction may seem Wild one, but we have
| got 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
| iy occurred in the Northern Pacific country. We
sold lot in Fargo few years ago fer 500 each
that would sell to-day for SIG OH0 acres at James
town for SIS per acre (cost IS cents) that to-day
cell for 81 500, and are built on. We have acres
| to-day III Fargo which cost 4315 cents that are
in town lots selling at the rate of 81 $50 per
acre. So lots at Living ton which 1e NOW Ter
at from S25 to $3.50 will, inside OF years, sell at
| from 500 to $40, ,o06 apiece. They have doneso
| at al good points the road in the past, ard
they will in the efuture-particularly at an excep-
tionally good poi1t like this. We ad ance price
