The Branch Line 20 the Yellowstone National
Park has its terminal point here, and all the I'm
mense travel TO that famous resort is compelled
20 stop here from few hours tina to number
of days. The principal shops OF the railroad
company between Brainerd and the Pacific Ocean
ere now being built here. They viii give en-
ployment to probably 1000 men. Pine timber is.
plenty IL the surrounding country, ard Yacious
sawnills Ia the Immediate vicinity OF the town
furnish work for hosts of employs. 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 ranchaa
abound in every direction; vast mines OF true be
luminous coal, which can be ooked for II cents
per ton; also rich iron mines ara within two ID
four miles from town. are being worked.
The gold placer mines of Emigrant Guloh, Bea-
Crevice, Mill Creek and Eight-Mile Greek, are
all in the Yellowstone Valley just south of LiT-
ingston, directly tributary to it. and are being
actively worked. That wonderfully rich qnsrtz
country, silver and gold, known as tho ClarE's,
Fork District, is south of town, and Livingston
is the headquarters and Quitting point. In
mense deposits of limestone, sandstone, clsy and
hue brick clay, hut two miles distant, md TIA
manufacture of lime is already an impoTtalss m
dustry. this being the first point after leaving LS-
luth on the east, 900 miles, where line rock Is
found. There are some eco buildings IL cou=se
of construction. The PARK Addition on which
the new 81, 600 school house is expected 10 BIS
built is the most desirable residence property NJ
town, while the Palace Add ion contains the
cheapest business property offered for sa.e-tAe
tendency OF business and business improvements
being largely IL that direction. There are too
banks, the FIRST National and private bank: tyso
newspaper, ons daily and one weekly. sEnelt
ing and reduction Inpany Is also IN process CT
formation, to be located here. There are many
chances for business enterprises of various KINDS
Like all new countries, the o portunities fog
profitable employment very good and wo<k-
men as well as men OF capital will find plenty of
chances in and around the town. Livingston re
less than year DID, yet it is probably the second
largest city III Montana: 1t is not surprising
when one considers that agriculture alone hss
made Fargo tho Northern Pacific company's re.il-
road sh,ns, BJainerd; summer visitors, S-rstogas
umter, Eau Claire; silver and gold mines, Dan-
yer; cattle Kansas City; iron and coal, Pittsbnrg
that combination of all of these factors as Is
found here should, within the next FIVE years
make this point city Of at least $4,000 people.
The prediction may seem wild one, but We have
yet to see or know anyone who, few years ago,
was accused of being wild then in their prsdic-
tons, who predicted one-half of what has setuAl
ly occurred in the Northern Pacific country. We
sold lots In Fargo few years ago for 500 each
that would sell to-day for $40 600; acres at James
town for SIS per acre (cost IS cents) that to-day
sell for 81, 800, and are built on. We have Reres
to-day in Fargo which cost 4S1z cents that are
now In town lots selling ct the rate of 81 $50 per
acre. So lots at Livingston which we now offer
at from s25 to $3.50 will, inside of years, soil at
from $500 to $4,000 apiece. They have done 30
at all good points On the road in the past, and
they viii in the future-particularly at an eIcep-
ionally good point like this. We ad- .ance price
inJuly.
