Inc Branch Line to the Yellowstone National
Park has It's terminal point here, and all the i'm
mense travel to thst famous resort is compelled
60 stop here from few hours time to g number
OF days. The principal shops OF the railroad
company between BraineTd and the Pacific Ocean
are now being built here. They Will give en-
ployment TO probably 1000 men. Pins timber Is
plenty IN tho surrounding country, end various
sawmills in the immediate vicinity of the town
furnish work for hosts OF employees. The valleys
OF the Yellowstone, Shields and Smith rivers are
vast and very rich IN agricultural resources, and
are well settled. Their trade is entirely tributary
10 Livingston, while magnificent cattle ranches
abound III every direction; vast mines of true BIZ
luminous coal, which can be cooked for ~ cents
Per ton; also rich iron minee are within two to
tour miles from town, and are being worked
The gold placer mines of Emigrant Guloh, Bear
Crevice, Mill Creek, and Eight-dile Creek, are
all IN the Yellowstone Valley just south of LY-
,ngston, directly tributary to it, and are being
actively worked. That wonderfully rich quartz
country, silver ana gold, known aa the Clark7s
Fork DIetrlct, Is south Of town, and Livingston
IS the headquarters and Quitting point. I'M
mense deposits of limestone, sandstone, clay anl'
hne brick clay are but two miles distant, and the
manufacture of lime is already important In
dustry, this being the FIRST point after leaving Du
luth on the east, LOCO miles, where lime rock is
found. There are come 200 buildings in course
of construction, The Park Addition on which
[t-S Low pAt 3ObS bJ4OOi ilOusb IL expected 70 De
built is the most desirable residence property In
town, while the Palace Addition contains the
cheapest business property offered for sae-the
tendency OF business and business improvements
being largely in that direction. There are two
banks, the First National and 8 private bank; two
newspapers, one daily and one weekly. Asmet
ing and reduction c. mDany le also IN process OF
formation, to be located here. There ere many
chances for business enterprises Of various kinds.
Like all new countries, the pOrtuuties for
profitable employment are very good aud work
men as well as men 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: 1t is not surprising
when one considers that agriculture alone has
made Fargo; the Northern Pacific company'g rail
road shops, Brainerd; summer visitors, Saratoga
lumber, Eau Claire; silver and gold mines, Den
yer; cattle Kansas City; iron and coal, Pttsburg;
that combination OF all OF these factors as IL
found here should, within the next Eve yearer
make this point city of at least $4,000 people.
The prediction may seem a wild one, but we have
YET 10 see or know anyone who, few years ago,
was accused of being wild then in their predic-
lions, who predicted one-half of what has actual
ly occurred in the Northern Pacific country. We
sold lots In Fargo few years ago fer 800 each
that would sell to-day for $40 000 acres at James
town for SIS per acre (cost 48 cents) that to-day
sell for 81, 500, and are built on. We have acres
today In Fargo which cost 1874 cents that are
now in town lots selling at the rate of 81 ESQ per
acre. So lots at Livingston which we now offer
ct from s25 to $3.50 viii, inside of years, sell at
from $500 to $4,000 apiece. They have done so
at all good points on the road in the past, and
they will in the particularly at an excep-
honally good point like this. We adsanoe price
In July.
