The Branch Line to the Yellowstone National
Park has its terminal point here, and all the i'm
mense travel to that famous resort is compelled
to stop here from a few hoprs' time to 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 1890 men. Pine timber is
plenty in the surrounding country, and various
sawmills ia the immediate vicinity of the town
furnish work for hosts Of employees. The valleys
of the Yellowstone, Shields and Smith rivers
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 direction; vast mines of true BIZ
luminous coal, which can be cooked for 1 a cents
per ton; also rich iron mines are within two to
four miles from town, ard are being worked.
The gold placer mines of Emlgrant GuIch, Bear
Crevice, Mill Creek, end Eight-Mlle Creek, are
all in the Yellowstone Valley just south of Inv
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, aud Livingston
is the headquarters and outftting point. I'M
mense deposits of limestone, sandstone, clay and
fine brick clay, arc 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, ] Co miles, where lime rock ID
found. There are some 200 buildings in course
Of construction. The Park Addition on which
the new SIT, 900 school house is expected to be
built is the most desirable residence property IN
town, while tbs Palace Addition contains the
cheapest business property offered for sale-the
tendency of business and business improvements
being largely il that direction. There are two
banks, the First National and private bank; two
newspapers, one daily and one weekly. smelt
ing and reduction mpany Is also In process of
formation, to be located here. There are many
chances for business enterprises of various kinds.
iIroo oil +ria tho ppr
profitable employment are very good and work
men as well as of capital Will find plenty or
chances in and around the town. Livingston Is
less than year DID, yet it is probably the second
largest city IL Montana: 1t is net surprising
when one considers that agriculture alone has
made Fargo; the Northern Pacific company's rail-
road shops, Brainerd summer visitors, Saratoga;
lumber, Fan Claire; silver and gold mines, Den
YER; cattle Kansas City; iron and coal PittBburg;
that a combination eff all OF thase factors rs Is
found hero shouid, within the next five years
make this point city of at least $4,000 people.
The prediction msy seem wild one, but We have
yet to see or know anyone who, few years age,
was accused OF being wild then in their Predlc-
tons, who predicted one-half IF what has actual
ly occurred In the Northern Pacific country. We
sold lot in Fargo few years age for 500 each
that would sell to-day for $40 ESQ; acres at James
town for S15 per- acre (cost 48 eerts) that to-day
sell fer 81, $50, and ara built we have acres
to-day in Fargo which cost 49, cents that are
now in town lots selling at tss rate Of 81 25c per
acre. So lots at Living ton which we new offer
at frem $25 to $3.50 ull inside Of years, sell at
from S5e0 te s1l,00s apiece. They have doneso
at all good points On tbs read il the past, and
they will in the tuture-pariculsrly at an excep-
tionally good poiLt like this. We 81 sance price
in July.
