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 Braine1d and the PacIhc Ocean
are now being built here. They Will give esr-
pIoynent to probably 1900 men. Pine timber Is
plenty in the surrounding country, aud vaTIOuS
sawmills In the immediate vicinity of tho town
furnish work for hosts of employ s. Tho valleys
of the Yellowstone, Shields an 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 cooked for IA cents
Der ton; also rich iron mines are within two to
four miles from town, AID are being worked.
The gold placer mines Of Enigrant Gulch, Bear
CreYice, Mill Greek, and Eight-hile Creek, are
all in the Yellowstone Valley Just south Of Lay
ingston, directly tributary to 1t, and are beng
actively worked. That wonderfully noh QUARTZ
country silver and gold, known as the Clafa's
Fork District, is south of town, and Livingston
is the headquarters and Quitting point. I'm
mense deposits Of limestone, sandstone, clay and
fine brick CLAW are but tive miles distant, and the
manufacture Of lime is already an important in
dustry this being the first point after leaving Du-
luth on the east, 200 miles, where limo rock ls
found There are some 200 buildings in course
the new sl7, 000 school house is expected to De
built is the most desirable residence property IN
town, while the Palace Addition CONTAINS the
cheapest business property offered for sale-lnS
tendency of business and business improvements
beirg largely in that direction. There are TWO
banks, the First National and private Dalih' U~O
newspapers, one daily and one weekly. sHlelt
ing and reduction Company is also III process OF
formation, to be located here. There a Q many
chances for business enterprises of various KINDS
Like all new countries, the o portunltle7 loE
profitable employment are very good ana WORK
men as well as men of capital viii md p4eAiy VI
chances in and around the town. Livingston IS :
less than wear old, vet it is probably the second
largest city in Montana 1t IS not sQrpr-SinS
when one considers that agriculture alone has
made Fargo; the Northern Pacine conlpany's ia1i-
road shops, Brainerd; summer visitors, S-ra.osa5
lumber, Eau Claire; silver aud gold mines, Den
ver: ,,qt Kansas City: iron and coal, Plttsbrgi
that combination of all of these factors as Is
found here should. within tho next five years
make this point city of at least 5GOGe people,
The prediction may seem wild one, but we have
vet to see or kaow anyone whS, few years ago,
was accused of being wild then In their predlo-
items, who predicted one-half Of what has actual
ly occurred in the Northern Pacific country. We
sold lots in Fargo a few years age fer SlO0 each
that would sell to-day for $40 ESQ., acres at James
town for SIS per acre (csst IS cents) that to-day
sell for 81, 500, and are built en-. We have acres
to-day in Fargo which cost 4616 cents that ara
now in town lots selling at the rate of 81, $50 per
acre. So lots at Livingston which we now fer
at frem s25 to $3.50 will, inside of years, sell at
from $500 to eco apiece. They have dones9
at all good poiEts on the road in the past, ano
they will in the future-particularly at an o1ceP
tionally good poirt like this. We Alliance prlce
in July.
