Ihs Branch Line 10 the Yellowstone National
PARK has It's terminal point here, and al the i'm
rlense travel TO that famous resort is compelled
to stop here from q few hours time 60 number
OF days. The principal sbope of the railroad
company between BTainerd and tbs Pacific Ocean
are now being built here. They will give en-
ployment TO probably 1900 men. Pins timber is
plenty III the surrounding country, and various
sawmills III 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
are well settled Their trade is entirely tributary
to Livingston, while magnificent cattle ranchee
abound IN every direction; vast mines of true BIZ
luminous coal, which can be cooked for IL cents
per ton; also rich iron mines are within two to
four miles from town, ard are being worked.
The gold placer mines of Emig7ant Guloh, Bear
Crevice, Mill Creek, and Eight-Mile Creek, are
all In the Yellowstone Valley just south of Liv-
ingston, directly tributary to it, and are being
actively worked. That wonderfully rich quartz
country, silver and gold, known as the Clark'e
Fork District, is south of town, and Livingston
ls the headquarters and Quitting point. In
mense deposits of limestone, sandstone, clay and
tne brick clay, are but two miles distant and the
manufacture of lime ia already an important in
duetry this being the first point after leaving D-
luth on the east, I,008 miles, where lime rock ie
found. There are some 200 buildings in course
of construction. The Park Addition on which
lIc Low 81 iJUUu SCHOOL mousse Is GGDeCtSu TO be
built IS tie most desirable residence property in
town, while the Palace Addition contains the
cheapest business property offered for ssle-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 Company is also IN process of
formation, to be located here. There are many
chances for business enterprises of various kinds
Like all new countries, the O portunities for
profitable employment are very good and work
men as well as men of capital will find plenty of
chances in and around the town. Livingston lie
less than year old, yet it is probably the second
largest city III 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, Pittsburg;
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 ego,
YVES accused of being wild then in their predic-
tons, who predicted one-balf Of what has actual
ly occurred in the Northern Pacific country. We
sold lot in Fargo few years ago fer 500 each
that would sell to-day for $40 COO; acres at James
town for SIS per acre (cost 48 csnts) that to-day
sell Tor 81 800, and are built on. We have acreg
to-day In Fargo which cost zS1S cents that are
now in town lots selling at the rate of ,250 per
zero. SO lots at Livingston which we now oder
st from SIS to $3.50 win, inside Of years, sell st
from $500 to $4,000 apiece. They have done SO
at all good points on the road IN the past, and
they Will in the future at an excep-
tionally good point like this. We sd Zance price
in July.
