The Branch Line to the Yellowstone National
Park has its terminal point here, and all the i'm
mense travel te that famous resort is compelled
to stop here from few helrs' time to number
OF days. The principal shops OF the railroad
company between .Erainerd and the Pacific Ocean
ere now being built here. They will give en-
ployTnent to probably 1000 men. Pine timber is
plenty in the surrounding country, and various
sawmills Ia the immediate vicinity of the town
furnish work for hosts of employees. 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 ranches
abound in every direction; vast mines of true BIZ
luminous coal, which can be coked for ~ cents
per ton; also rich iron mines are within two to
four miles from town, ard are being worked.
The gold placer mines of Emigrant GulCh, Besr
Crevioe, hill Creek, and Eight-hiile Creek, are
all IN the Yellowstone Valley just south of Liv-
ingstonq directly tributary to it, and sre being
actively worked. That wonderfully rich quartz
country, silver and gold, known as the Clark's
Fork District, Is south OF town, and livingston
:a the headquarters and 0uttitting point. In
neose deposits OF limestone, sandstone clay and
Inc brick clay, are but two miles distant, and the
manufacture OF lime is already an important in
dusty, this being the first point efter leaving Dr.
iuth on the east, 1000 miles where lime rock is
found. There are some 200 buildings in course
OF construction. The Park Addition on which
the new $4,000 school housa liz expected to be
built is tbs most desirable residence property in
town, while the Palace Addition contains 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. a snelt
ing and reduction Company is also In process Of
formation, to be located here There are many
chances for business enterprises of various kinds.
Ai&e au new countries, the opportunities fox
profitable employment are very good and work
men as well as men Of capital viii find plenty OF
chances in and around the town. Livingston ls
less than year old, yet 1t IS probably the second
largest city in Montana. Ii Is not surprising
when one considers that agriculture alone hes
made fargo; the Northern Pacific company rail-
road shops, BTainerd summer visitors, Saratoga;
lumber, Eau Clairei silver aud gold mines, Don
Yer cattle Kansas City; iron and coal, Pittsburg;
| that a combination of all Of these factors as Is
! found here should, within the next five years
make this point city OF aJ leest $4,000 people.
The prediction may seem q wild one, but We have
yet TO sea or know anyone who, few years ago,
was accused of being Wild then in their predio-
hons, who predicted ore-haf Of what has actual
| iy occurred II the Northern Pacific country. We
sold lots IN Fargo q few years ago fer 500 each
tnat would sell to-day for $40 600; acres at James
town FOR Sl5 per acre cost Is cent5) that today
sell for 81, 500, end are built on We have acres
to-day IN Fargo which cost 4s1S cents that ara
noV7 In toHn lots selling al tho rate OF $50 per
acre. Sc lots at Livingston which We now offer
at from S25 to $3.50 viii, inside of years, sell at
from $500 to $4,000 apiece. They have donoao
| ni all good points the road IN the past, and
they viii Ia the fdture-pavticUarly at an excep-
donauy good point h6e this. We dance price
