The Branch Line to TIE Yellowstone Natl onaL
Park has Its terminal point here, and al the IN
mehse 'raVel to that famous resort is compelled
To stop here from few hours time to Il mum Der
of days. The principal shops of the railroad
CON any between BTaineId and the Pacific Ocean
are being built here. They wIl give
plOyment to probably 1000 men. Pine timber -
pleaty Iii the surrounding country, ard TarIous
sawmLls IN lie Immediate vicinity of the town
furnish work for hosts of employ s. The valleys,
o. the Yellowstone, Shields an Smith rivers are
vast and very rich in agricultural resources, and
well settled. heir trade is entirely tTibut ~
to Livingston, while magnificent cattle ranches,
abound III every direction; vast mines OF true BIZ
luminous coal, which can be cooked for Is cents
per ton; also rich iron mines ara within two to
four miles from town, d are being worked
The gold placer mines OF EmigTant GulCh, Bear
Crevice, Mill Creek, and Eight-Mile Creek, are
all in the Yellowstone Valley Just south Of IlIY-
ingstOn, directly tributary to it, and are being
actively worked. That wonderfully rich quartz
count ', silver and gold, known as the Clarke
Fork District, is south of town, and Livingston
is the headquarters and Quitting point. In
mense 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 first point after leaving Du
luth on the east, 1000 miles, where lime rock rs
found There are some 200 buildings In COnrse
of construction. The Park Addition which
the new ST, 600 school house Is expected Ito be
built IS the most desirable residence property IN
town, while the Palace Addi 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. Asmeit-
ing and reduction mpany is also in process Of
formation, 10 be located here There o o many
chances for business enterprise OF various kinds.
Like all he" countries, the portunitie3 for
profitable employment are very good and work
men a. well DIS men of capital viii find plenty Of
chances Ill and around the town. Livingston rs
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 TaI.
road shops, BraTerd; summer visitors, S.FatOga;-
lumber, Eau claire; silver and gold mines, Den
yer; cattle Kansas City; iron and coal PittSbaEg;
that a 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.
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 pFedie-
tons, who predicted One-half OF what has actual
ly occurred in the Northern Pacific country We
sold lot in Fargo a few years ago for Sl01 each
that would sell to-day for $40 QUO; acres at J.mes
town for SIS per acre (cost 48 cents) that to-day
sell for 81 500, and are built on. We have acres
to-day in Fargo which cost 49, cents that are
now in town lots selling at the rate of 1850 per
acre. So lots at Living ton which we now fer
at from $25 to $3.50 will, inside of years. sell at
from $500 to $4,000 apiece. They have doneso
at all good points on the road in the past, anG8
they will in the future-particnlarly at an ezcep-
tionally good poi-t like this. We dance price,
in July.
