The Branch Line to the Yellowstone National
Park has it's terminal point here, and all the i'm
Glense 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
company between BraineTd 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, ard various
sawmills in the Immediate vicinity of the town
furnish work for hosts of employ E. The valleys
OF the Yellowstone, Shields am Smith rivers are
vast and very rich in agricultural resources. and
are well settled Their trade is entirely tribut ~
70 Livingston, while magnificent cattle ranches
abound III every direction; vast mines of trae BIZ
luminous coal, which can be cooked for 3 cents
per ton; also rich iron mines are within two to
four miles from town, are being worked
The gold placer mines of Emigrant Gulth, Bear
CrevIce, Mill Creek, and Eight-Aiile Creek, are
all in the Yellowstone Valley just south Of Liv-
ingston. directly tributary to it, and being
actively worked. That wonderfully rich quartz
county, silver and gold, known the Clark's
Fork District. is south of town, and Livingston
is the headquarters and Quitting point. I'M
meEse 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 is
found. There are some 200 buildings in course
of construction. The Park Addition on which
tie new 81, 0OU 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 Ter sale-the
tendency Of business and business improvements
being largely in that direction. There are two
banks, the First National ard private bank: two
newspapers. ore daily and one weekly. smelt-
ing and reduction mpany is also III process of
formation, 70 be located here. There are many
chances for business enterprises o. various kinds.
Like all new countries, the portunities for
profitable employment are very good and work
men as well as men Of capital viii 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, BTainerd: summer visitors, Saratoga;
lumber, Eau Claire; silver and gold mines, Den
yer; cattle Kansas City; iron and coal, Pittsburg;
that combination OF all Of these factors Is is
found here should. within the next i've years
make this point city of at least $1,000 people
The prediction may seem 4 wild one, but we have
yet to see or know anyone who, q few years ago,
was accused Of being wild then IN their predic
tons, who predicted oEe-half of what has actual
" occGrred in the Northern Pacific country. We
sold lot in Fargo a few years ago for 500 each
tina, would sell to-day for $40 0U0; acres at James
trwn for SIS per acre (cost IS cents that to-day
sell or 81 500. and are built on. We have acres
to-day in Fargo which cost 4S % cents that are
now III town lots selling at the rate OF 81, 25G per
acre. So lots at Living ton which we now offer
at from S25 to $3.50 WILL inside of years. sell at
from $500 to SIC, 600 apiece. They have done 50
at all good points the road IN the past, and
they viii IN the future-particnlarly at an excep-
tionally good pOi-t Ike this. We advance prices
in July.
