The Branch Line to the Yellowstone National
Park has its terminal point here, and all the I'M
mense travel to that famous resort is compelled
to stop here from few hours time to number
OF days. The principal shops of the railroad
company between Bralnerd 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, and various
sawmills Ia 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
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 cooked for ~ cents
per ton; also rich iron mines are within two to
four miles from town, are being worked.
THE gold placer mines of Emigrant Guloh, Bear
Crevice, Mill Creek, and Eight-Mile Creek, are
all in the Yellowstone Valley just south of Liy-
ingston, directly tributary to it, and are being
actively worked. That wonderfully rich quartz
country, silver and gold, known the Clarks
Fork District, is south of town, and Livingston
is the headquarters and Quitting point. In
mense deposits of limestone, sandstone, clay and
line brick clay, are but two miles distant, and the
manufacture of lime is already an important in
dustry. this being the first point after leaving D-
luth on the east, LOCO miles, where lime rock is
found. There are some 200 buildings in course
of construction. The Park Addition on which
the new ST, 900 school house is expected to be
built is the 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 bark; two
newspapers, one daily and one weekly. smelt
ing and reduction company is also In process Of
formation, to be located here. There are many
chances for business enterprises af various kinds.
Like all new countries, the 9. portunities for
profitable employment are very good and work
men as well as men of capital will find plenty of
chances In and around the town. Livingston Is
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 Fargs; the Northern Pacific company'g rail
road shops, Brainerd; summer visitors, Saratoga;
lumber, Hau Claire; silver and gold mines, Den
yer; cattle Kansas City; iron and coal, Pittsburgh
that combination OF all Of these factors as le
found here should, within $he nsxt Eve years
make this point c1rT OF at East 60, 600 people.
