The Branch Line to the Yellowstone National
Park has its terminal point here, and all the in
mense travel to that famous resort Is compelled
to stop here from few no rs time to number
OF days. The principal shops of the railroad
company between BraiEe.d d 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, ard various
saWmills In the immediate vicinity of the town
furnish work for hosts of employ :. 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 tribut ~
to Livingston, while magnificent cattle ranches
abound in every direction; vast mines Of true bi-
luminous coal, which can be coked for = cents
per ton; also rich iron mines are within two to
four miles from town, d are being worked
The gold placer mines of Enigrant Guloh, Bear
Crevice, Mill Creek. and EighJ-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 Outftting point. I'm
! meuse deposits of limestone, sandstone. clay and
fine brick clay. but two miles distant, and the
manufacture of lime is already az important IL
dustry, this being the first point after leaving DU-
lUth the east. 200 miles, where lime rock Is
| found. There are some 200 buildings IN course
of construction. The Park Addition which
the new ST, 600 school house Is expected EtO be
built is the most desirable residence property in
| town, while the Palace Addi ion contaiCs 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 IN process OF
| formation, to be located here. There are many
chances for business enterprises of various kinds.
| : kc all NAY n
| profitable employment are very good and work
| men well as men of capital Will find plenty of
| chances IN and around the town. Livingston is
less than year old. vet it is probably the second
| largest city in Montana. 1t is not surprising
when one considers that agriculture alone has
| made Fargo the Northern Pacific cOmpany's rall
road shops, Brainerd: summer visitors, Saratoga;
| lumber, Eau Claire; silver and gold mines, Den
yer; cattle Kansas City: iron and coal, Plttsburg
| that combination of all Of these factors Is
found here should. within the next five years
make this point city of at least 1000 people.
! The prediction may seem wild one, butwe 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 a few years ago for $lOU each
that would sell to-day for $40 0U0; acres at James
tlwn for SIS per acre (cOst 48 cents) that to-day
sell or Sl.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 81 ,25O per
acre. So lots at Living ton which we now fer
at from S25 to $3.50 will, inside of years. sell at
from $500 TO $4,000 apiece. They have dones
at all good points on the road in the past, and
they Will in the future-particularly at an excep-
tionally good poiLt like this. We advance prices
inJuly.
