The Branch Line TO the Yellowstone National
Park has its terminal point hsse, end all the I'M
Inense travel to that famous resort is compelled
to stop here from few hours time to number
OF days. The principal shops III Che railroad
company between Rrallerd aud tho Pacific Ocean
ere now being built here. They will give en-
ployment TO probably 1000 men. Pine timber ie
plenty IN the surrounding country, and various
aawmjLs La the immediate vicinity of the town
tnIIilsh work for hosts Of employs. 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 ranches
abound In every directions; vast mines of true BIZ
luminous coal, which can ne cooked for Is cente
per ton; also rich iron mines are within two to
four miles from town, are being worked.
The gold placer mines of Emigrant Guloh, Bear
Creyice, Mill Creek, and Eight-Mile Creek, ere
all In the Yellowstone Valley just south of Lily
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 gouth of town, and Livingston
ID the headquarters and outitting 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-
iuth on the east, 200 miles, where lime rock is
found. There are some 200 buildings in course
of construction. TIE Park Addition on which
the new ST., coo school house ie expected TO be
built is the most desirable residence property in
town, while the Palace Addition contains the
cheapest business properly offered for sae-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 smeit
ing and reduction ctmpanY is also 1t process of
formation, to be located here. There are many
chances for business enterprises Of various kinds.
Like all pOuntr1pn. Tha q DOrtuuIfJaa for
profitable employment are very good and work
mon as well as men of capital viii find plenty of
chances N and around the town. Livingston Is
less than year old, yet it is probably the second
largest city in Montana: It lie not surprising
when one considers that agriculture alone has
made Fargo; the Northern Pacific conpany's rail-
road shops, Brainerd; summer visitors, Saratoga;
lumber, Eau Claire; silver and gold mines, Dem
yer; cattle Kansas City; iron and coal, Pittsburg;
that coordination of all OF these factors as Is
found here should, within the next five years
make this point city Of at least Sc, 600 people.
The prediction may seem wild one, but we have
yet to see or know anyone who, few years age,
was accused of being wild then in their predic-
tons, who predicted one-hef of what hiss actual
ly occurred in the Northern Pacific country. We
sold lot in Fargo few years age fer 800 each
that would sell to-day for $40 coo; acres at James
town for sl5 per acre (cost az cents) that to-day
sell for 81 800, and are built on. We have ceres
to-day in Fargo which cost 4816 cents that are
now il town lots selling at the rate of s., ESQ Ger
acre. SO lots at Livingston which we now offer
at from $25 to $3.50 viii, inside of years, sell ct
from $5o0 to $4,000 apiece. They have done 60
at all good points OF the road in the past, and
they viii IL the future-particularly at an excep-
tionaly good point like this. We ad-snce price
In July.
