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 few hours time to number
of days. The principal shops of the railroad
company between Braine1d and the Pacific Ocean
are now being built here. They will give en-
ployment to probably 1000 men. Pine timber is
plenty in the surrounding country, ard various

Ia. linous coal, which can be coked for 1a cents
per ton; also rich iron mines within two to
four miles from town, are being worked.
The gold placer mines of Emigrant GulCh, Bear
Crevice, Mill Creek, and Eight-alile 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
county,, silver and gold, known as the Clarks
Fork District, is south of town, and Livingston
Is the headquarters and outhttlng point. I'M
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
luth the east, 900 miles, where lime roc k is
found. There are some 2C0 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 the Palace Addi ion 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. smelt

formation, to be located here. There many
chances for business enterprises of various kinds
Like all new countries, the portunities for
Profitable employment very good and work
Iaen as well as men of capital will find plenty of
chances in and around the town. Livingston Is
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

lumber, Eau Claire; silver and gold mines, Den
yer; cattle Kansas City; iron and coal, Pittsburg;
that combination of all of these factors as is

make this point city of at least $1,000 people.
