The Branch Line to the Yellowstone NationaI
Park has its terminal point here, and all the iM-
mense travel to that famous resort is compelled
to stop here from few hours time to a number
of days. The principal shops Of the lFaihoad
company between BraineHd and the Pacific OCEAN
are now being built here. They will give sm-
ployment to probably 1000 men. Pine timber In
plenty in the surrounding country, and various
sawmills In the immediate vicinity Of the town
furnish work for hosts of employees. The valleys
OF the Yellowstone, Shields and Smith rivers eao
vast and very rich in agricultural resources, and
are well settled. Their trade is entireiy3Eibutary
to Livingston, while magnificent cattle ranches
abound In every direction vast mines Of true b.
luminous coal, which can cooked for l11<f6ents
per ton; also rich iron mines are within two to
four miles from town, ard are being worked.
The gold placer mines of Emigrsnt Guleh, Hear
Creyice, Mill Creek, and Eight-Miie Creek. are
all in the Yellowstone Valley Just south OF Tdv-S
ingston, directly tributary to. it, aud ara being
actively worked. That wonderfully Hich oHsztH
country, silver and gold, known as the Clarkss
Fork District, is south of town, snd Ldvinayrn
is the headquarters and outftHng point. I'M
mense deposits of limestone, sandstone, ciEy Krd
hne brick clay, are but two miles distant. and Sa
manufacture of lime is already an important n-
dustry. this being the first point after leaving Du.
luth on the east, 900 miles, where lime rock d
found. There are some 200 buildings In course
of construction. The Park Addition on which
the new 81, 900 school house is expected ytD be
built is the most desirable residence property In
town, while the Palace Addition c0ntalzs the
cheapest business property offered for sale-the
tendency OF business and business improvesnAnts
being largely IN that direction. There are 6To
banks, the First National and private benkt two
newspapers, one daily and one weekly. A Sne&
ing and reduction company is also In process o4
formation, to be located here. There are many
chances for business enterprises Of Various kinds.
Like all new countries, the Opportunities ner
profitable employment are very good and voT&-
men as well as men of capital viii find plenty of
chances in and around the town. Livingstoa 10
less than year DID, yet 1t is probably the second
largest city in Montana: 1t ie mot surprising
when one considers that agriculture alone haS
made Fargo; the Northern Pacific eompany's nd
road shops, Brsinerd; summer VISITORS, 6afstn4ss
lumber, Fan Claire; silver and gold mines, Den-
yer; cattle Kansas City; iron and coal, HttsbnrSs
that combination Of all Of these factors az Il
found here should, within the next FIVE ysaEs
make this point city Of at leest 10000 people.
The prediction may seem q wild one, but we hATO
yet to see or know anyone who, few years ago,
was accused of being wild then In their prsdic.
dOns, who predicted one-half Of what has actuAl-
lyocourred in the Northern Pacific country. We
sold lots in Fargo few years ago for e100 each
that would sell to-day for $40 000; acres at james
t7wn for $15 per acre (oost 4s cents) thst to-day
sell for $l, 800, and are built on We hsve acres
to-day in Fargo which cost 4815 cents that xro
now in town lots selling at the rate Of el $50 Per
acre. So lots at Livingston which we now cEx
at from $25 to $3.50 WILL inside Of years, sen at
from $500 to $4,000 apiece. They have donsso
at all good points on the road in the past, and
they will in the future particularly st an sxcep-
tiOnally good point like this. We ads sarce pricc
