The Branch Line TO the Yellowstone National
Park has its terminal point here, and ell the i'm
mense travel to that famous resort is compelled
TO stop here from few hours time to number
OF days. The principal shops OF the railroad
company between Breinerd and the Pacific Ocean
are row being built here. They VIII give en-
ploymert to probably 1900 men. Pine timber IL
plenty IN the surrounding country, and various
saWnlliis Ii the Immediate vicinity of tho town
furnish work for hosts OF employs. The valleys
OF the Yellowstone, Shields ana Smith rivers are
vast ana very rich in agricultural resources, and
are well 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 be coked fer x cents
per ton; also rich iron mines ere within two to
tour miles from town, d are being worked.
The gold placer mines Of G,nigrant Guloh, Zee:
Crev1ce, Mill Creek, and Eight-hiile Creek, are
all In the Yellowstone Valley just south of Iiv-
lngston, directly tributary to it, and are being
actively worked. That wonderfully rich quartz
country, silver and gold, known as the Clark's
Fork District, is south of town, and Livingston
Is the headquarters and Quitting point. I'm
mense deposits of limestone, sandstone, clay and
hne 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 Dn
luth on the east, ,00a miles, where lime rock il
found. There are some 200 buildings in oourse
OF construction. The Park Addition on which
the new SIT eco school house is expected to be
built Is the most desirable residence property in
town, while the Palace Addition 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. A sIuelt
ing and reduction c~mpany is also IN process OF
formation, to be located here. There ase many
chances for business enterprises of various kinds
Like all new counties, the portuIiities for
profitable employment are very good and WORK
men as well as men Of capital will find plenty ui
chances In and around the town. Livingston IL
less than year DID, 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'g rail
road shops, Brainerd; summer visitors, Saratoga;
lumber, Eau Claire; silver snd gold mines, Den
yer; cattle Kansas City: iron and coal, Pittsburg
that 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 kEow anyone who, a few years ago.
was accused of being wild then in their predic
TONS, who predicted one-hulf uf what has sctuRl-
~ occurred II the Northern Pacific country We
sold lot In Fargo few years ago for 800 each
that would sell today for $40 0U0; acres at James
trW1 for SIS per acre (cost 4S cents) that to-day
sell 'or $500, and are built on. We have acrea
today Il Fargo which cost 1875 cents that are
now IL town lots selling at the rate OF 81, $50 ger
acre. So lots at Livingston which we now ( fer
at from s25 to $3.50 VII, nside of years, sell al
from $500 to $4,000 apiece. They have done so
at all good points on the road in the past, and
they viii in the future particularly at ar excep-
nonaiiy good poilt Ike this. We &C. .ance prica
;nIuly.
