The Branch Lins to tho Yellowstone National
Park hiss its terminal point here, and aJl the i'm
rense travel to that famous resort is compelled
to stop hers from 2 few hours time to q number
of days. The principal shops of the railroad
company between Braineri and the Pacific Ocean
ere now being built here. They viii give en-
~ployment to probably 1900 men. Pine timber is
plenty IN the surrounding country, and yarious
sawInills In the immediate vicinity of the town
furnish work for hosts of employees. The valleys
OF the Yellowstone, Shields and Smith rivers are
vast and very rich IN agricultural resources, and
sre veil 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 bs cooked for III cents
Per ton; alec rich iron mines are within two to
four niles from town, ard are being worked.
The gold placer mines Of Emigrant Gulch, Bear
Crevice, Mill Creek, and Eight-Mile Crock, are
all in the Yellowstone Valley just south Of Iiv-
ingston, directly tributary to it. and are being
actively worked. That wonderfully rich quartz
country, silver and gold, known as the CIark's
Fork District, Is south Of town, aud Livingston
Is the headquarters and Quitting point. I'M
mense deposits Of limestone, sandstone, clay and
fine brick ciey, are but two miles distsnt. and the
manufacture OF lime Is already IN important in
dustry, this being thu first point after leaving Du-
luth on the east, I,GG} E%liiee, where limo rock is
found. There axe some zoo buildings IN course
of construction. The Park Addition on which
the new $1,000 school house is expected 70 be
built is the most desirable resids2ce property In
town. while the Palace Addition contains the
cheapest business property offered for eale-the
tendency of business and business improvements
being largely IL that direction. There are two
| banks, the First National and g private bank; two
newspapers, one daily and one weekly. Asmelt
ing and reduction company IS also II process OF
| formation, 10 be located here. There are many
chances for business enterprises of various kinds.
Liks all new countries, the o pCFtunItIes for
-4-l - -
men as well as mon of capital viii find plenty OF
chances In and around the town Livingston Ii
| less than q year old, yet it Is probably the second
! largest city in Montana: It is not surprising
| when one considers that agriculture alone has
! made Fargo; the Northern Pacific compeny's rail-
road shops, Brainerd; summer visitors, S-ratoga;
lumber, Eau Claire; silver and gold mines, Dem
yer; cattle Kansas City; iron and coal, Pittsburg;
that a combination of ali OF these factors as Is
| found here should, within the next five years
make this point 3 city Of at least $4,000 people.
The prediction may seem a wild one, but we have
yet to see or know anyone who, g few years ago,
was accused OF being wild then in their prsdic-
tons, who predicted one-half of what has actual
ly occurred in the Northern Pacific country. We
sold lote IN Fargo a few years ago for 300 each
that would sell to-day for $40 0G0; acres at James
town for SIS per acre fcost ~ cents that to-day
sell Tor $500, and are built on. We have acres
to-day IN Fargo which cost 1874 cants that ara
now IN town lots selling at the rate of 81 1850 per
acre, so lots at Livingston which we now fer
at from S25 to $3.50 will, inside of 8 years, sell at
from $509 to $1,000 apiece. They have done 80
ST all good points on the road in the past, and
they viii In the future-parricularly at an excep-
tionslly good point ike this. We adj gnce price
In July.
