The Branch Lime 10 the Yellowstone National
Park has its terminal point here, and AZ the in
mense travel to that famous resort is compelled
TO stop here from few hours time to a number
of days. The principal shops of the railroad

The gold placer mines of Emigrart Gulth, Bear

all in the Yellowstone Valley just south of Liv-

actively worked. That wonderfully rich quartz

fine brick clay. are but two miles distant, and the
manufacture of lime is already an important

found. There are some 200 buildings IN course
of construction. The Park Addition or which

town, while the Palace Addi ion contains the
cheapest business property offered for saie-the

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
