plenty IN the surrounding country, and various
sawnliiIs IL tie Immediate vicinity of the town
furnish work for hosts Of employ s. The valleys
of the Yellowstone, Shields an Smith rivers are
vast and very rich in agricultural resources, and
are well settled. Their trade is entirely tribUt ~
to Livingston, while magnificent cattle ranches
aboJnd IN every direction; vast mines of true bi-
luminous coal, which can be cooked for l . cents
per ton; also rich iron mines arr within two TO
four miles from town, d are being worked.
The gold placer mines of Emigrant Guloh, Bear
Crevlce, Mill Creek, and Eignt-Alile Greek, are
all IN the Yellowstone Valley Just south of Liv-
lngston, directly tributary to 1t. and are being
actively worked. That wonderfully rich qcartz
county, silver and gold, known as the Clarli's
Fork District, is south of town, and Livingston
Is the headquarters and Quitting point. I'm

manufacture of lime is already an impOrtan- IL
dustry this being the first point after leaving Du
luth on the east, 200 miles, where lime rock is
found. There are some 200 buildings IL. course
of construction. The Park Addition on which
the new SIT GOO school house is expected 30 be
built is the most desirable residence property in
town, while the Palace Addition cOntai0s the
cheapest business property offered for sale-the
tendency of business and business Improvements
being largely in that Correction. There are two
banks, the First National and private bank; two
newspapers, one daily and one weekly. A snlelt-
ing and reduction company is also in process of
formation, to be located here. There 4 e many
chances for business enterprises of various kinds.
Like all new countries, the 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 IS

The prediction may seem a Wild one. butwe have
yet to see or know anyone who, few years ago,
wa accused of being wild then in their predic-
tons, who predicted one-half of what has actual
ly occurred in the Northern Pacific country. We
sold lot in Fargo few years ago for 500 each
that would sell to-day for $40 0U0; acres at james
t1wn for SIS per acre (cost IS cents) that to-day
sell or $1,000, and are built on. We have acres
to-day in Fargo which cost 49, cents that are
now in town lots selling at the rate OF 81, $50 per
acre. So lots at Living ton which we now fer
at from $25 to $3.50 WILL inside of years, sell at
from $500 to $4,000 apiece. They have dones
at all good points on the road il the past, and
they will in the future-particularly at an excep-
tionally good poilt like this. We advance prices
in July.
