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 a number
of days. The principal shops of the railroad
com ,any between BraineId 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 In the Immediate vicinity of the town
furnish work for hosts of employ S. The valleys
OF the Yellowstone, Shields an Smith rivers are
vast and very rich in agricultural resources, and
well settled. heir trade is entirely tribut ry
to Livingston, while magnificent cattle ranches
abound Ill every direction; vast mines of true b1-
luminous COAL which can be cOked for u cents
per ton; also rich iron mines are within two to
four miles from town, d are being worked.
The gold placer mines of Emigrant Gul0h, Bear
Crevice, Mill Creek, and Eight-Mile Creek, are
all in the Yellowstone Valley just south of Liv-
ingston, directly tributary to 1t, and are being
actively worked. That wonderfully rIch quartz
count V, silver and gold, known as the Clark's
Fork District, is south of town, and Livingston
is the h adquarters and Outhttng point. I'M
mense deposits of limestone, sandstone, clay and
fine brick clay. are but miles Distant and the
manufacture of lime is already an important in
dustry this being the first point after leaving Du-
lutn Oh the east, l. U0U miles, where lime rock is
found. There are some 200 buildings IL course
of construction. Tha Park Addition on which
tie new SIT 600 school house Is expected ITO be
built is the most desirable residence property in
town, while the Palace Add ION 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 mpany Is also III process of
| formation, to be located here. There many
chances for business enterprises of various kinds.
Like all new countries, the portunitieS for
profitable employment are very good and work
men well men of capital will ind 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 Fargo; the Northern Pacific company's rail
road Shops Brainerd; summer visitors, Saratoga;
| lumber, Eau Claire; silver and gold mines, Den
yer; cattle Kansas City; iron and coal, Plttsburg;
| that combination of all Of these factors is
| found here should. within the next five years
| make this point city of at least 5O,OuO people.
| The 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 predic
tions, who predicted one-half Of what has actual
| ly occurred in the Northern Pacific country. We
sold lot in Fargo few years ago for $lOO each
that would sell to-day for $40 QUO; acres at James
town for SIS per (cOst 40 cents) that to-day
sell tor 81 500, and are built on. We have acres
to-day in Fargo which cost 4812 cents that are
now in town lots selling at the rate of 81, ESQ per
acre. So lots at Living ton which we now fer
at from s25 to $3.50 WILL inside of years, sell at
from 500 to 10000 apiece. They have dones
at all good points on the road in the past, and
they Will in the future particularly at an excep-
tionally good poiLt like this. We ad.-.ance price
inJuly.
