The Branch Line to the Yellowstone National
Park has its terminal point here, end all the in
nense travel to that famous resort is compelled
to Gtop here from lew hours time to a 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-
ployInent to probably 1000 men. Pine timber is
plenty in the surrounding country, ard various
sawmills in the immediate vicinity Of the town
furnish work for hosts of employs. The valleys
OF the Yellowstone, Shields an1 Smith rivers IRE
vast and very rich in agricultural resources, end
well settled. Their trade is entirely tri5u, -
to Livingston, while magnificent cattle ranches
abound in every direction; vast mines OF true BIZ
luminous coal, which can DO cOked for / 10 cents
per ton; also rich iron nIines IRE within two TO
four miles from town, d are being worked.
The geld placer mines of Enigraut Guloh, Bear
CreVice, Hill Greek, and Eight-Mile Greek, are
all in the Yellowstone Valley Just south Of Liv-
lpgstOn, directly tributary to it, and are being
actively worked. That wonderfully rich quartz
county, silver and gold, known as the Clarks
Fork District, is south of town, and Livingston
is the headquarters and Quitting point. I'm
r1ense deposits of limestone, sandstone, clay and
fine brick clay, are but two miles distant, and the
manufacture of lime is already an important in
dustry. this being the fret point after leaving Du
luth on the east, l,000 miles, where lime rock Is
found. There are some 200 buildings in course
the new SIT, 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 bank; two
newspapers, one daily and one weekly. smelt
ing and reduction CT mpany is also IN process OF
formation, to be located here. There are many

Like all new countries, the pOrtUnities for
profitable employment are very good and work
men as well as men of capital will find plenty 81
chances in and around the town. Livingston
less than year old, yet it e probably the second
largest city in Montana: It is not surprising
when enc considers that agriculture alone has
made Fargo; the Northern Pacific company's rail
road shops, BTainerd; summer visitors, s: ratoga;
lumber, Eau Claire; silver and gold mines, Den
yer; cattle Kansas City: iron and coal, Pittsburg;
that combination of all OF these factors as Is
found here should, within the next five years
make this point city OF at least $4,000 people.
TIE prediction may seem wild one, but we have
yet to see or know anyone who, few years ago;
was accused of being wild then in their preaic-
tions, who predicted one-half Of what has actual
ly occurred in the Northern Pacific country. We
sold lot IL Fargo few years ego for 500 each
that would sell to-day for $40 GO; acres at Janee
town for $l5 per acre (cost IS cents that to-day
sell for 1880, and are built on. We have Gcree
to-day in Fargo which cost A559 cents that ara
in town Lots selling at the rate OF 81 $50 per
aero. So lots at Livingston which We now fer
at from &25 to $3.50 will, inside Of years. sell at
from $500 to 1G,000 apiece. They have doneso
