The Branch Line to the Yellowstone NatiOral
Park has its terminal point here, and all the IN
merse travel to that famous resort is compelled
to stop here from few hOlTs' time to q number
of days. The principal shops of the railroad
company between Braineid and the Pacific Ocean
are now being built here. They Will give en-
ploymeut 10 probably 1000 men. Pine timber is
plenty in the surrounding country, and various
sawmills in the immediate vicinity of the town
furnish wor., fJT hosts of employ s. The valleys
OF the Yellowstone, Shields an Smith rivers are
vast and very rich in agricultural resources, and
are well settled Their trade is entirely tribut ry
20 Livingston, Vlie magnificent cattle ranches
abound n eve-y direction; vast mines OF true 5l-
luminous coal, which can be cooked for I = cents
per ton: also Iich IRON mines are within TWO TO
four miles from town. Q are belrg worked.
The gold placer mines OF EmlgJant Guch. Bear
CTevice, Mill Creek, and kight-Alile Creek, are
ali IN the Yellowstone NaIe5 just south OF llv-
inCstOl, directly tributary 10 1t, and are being
actively worked That wonderfully rich quartz
count Y, silver and gold, known as the Clarks
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 pOIntafter leaving Du-
luth on the east, l,UOG miles, where lime rock IS
found. There are some 200 buildings IL course
OF construction. TIL Park Addition on which
built is the most desirable residence property IN
town. while the Palace Add ion contains the
cheapest business property offered for sale-Jhe
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 mpary is also in process of
formation, to be located here. There many
chances for business enterprises of various kinds.
Like all new countries, the o portunitle5 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 Old yet it IS probably TIE second
largest cay in Montana. 1t Is not surprising
when one considers that agriculture alone has
made Fargo: the NOTtht TT Pacific cOmpany's rail
road shops, Brainerd; summer visitors, Ssratoga;
lumber, Fan Claire: silver aud gold mines, Den
YER: cattle Kansas City; iron ard coal, Plttsburg;
that combination o. all Ct these factors as is
found here should within the neLC i've years
make this point ty OF at least 5U,OUO people.
The prediction may seem wild one, but we have
yet . see 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
ly occurred II the Northern Pacific country. We
sold lot in Fargo a few years ago for 500 each
that would sell to-day for SO OtO acres a James
town for SIS per acre (cost - cents( that to-day
sell or $500, and are built on. We have acres
to-day II Fargo which cost 1872 cents that are
row III town lots selling at the rare OF SlzJU per
acre. So lots at Living ton which we now fer
at from $25 $3.50 viii, inside of years, sell at
from $500 TO $4,000 apiece. They have dones'
at all good points the road III the past, and
they viii IN the particularly at an ezcep-
tionaliy good poiLt like this. We Lance price
in Judy.
