The Branch Limo to the Yellowstone National
Park has its terminal point here, and all the i'm
inense travel to that famous resort is compelled
to stop here frem few houTs' time to a number
OF days. The principal shops OF the railroad
company between BraineId and the Pacific Ocean
are now being built here. They will give en-
ployInent to probably 1000 men. Pine timber is
plenty in the surrounding country, and various
sawmills in the immediate vicinity OF the town
furnish 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 direction; vast mines OF true BIZ
luminous coal, which can be coked for IL cents
per ton; also rich iron mines are within Two to
four miles from town, ard are being worked.
The gold placer mines of Emigrant Guloh, Bear
Crevice, NIill Creek, and Eight-Mile Creek, are
all in the Yellowstone Valley just south of Inv
ingston, directly tributary to 1t, and are being
actively worked. That wonderfully rich quartz
country, silver and gold, known as the Clarks
Fork District, is south of town, and Livingston
is the headquarters and Quitting 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
iuth ON the east, 1000 miles, where lime rock is
found. There are some 200 buildings in course
of construction. The Park Addition on which
the new ST., 900 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. Asmelt
ing and reduction company is also II process OF
formation, to be located here. There are many
oh fcrh of
Like all new countries, the opportunities for
profitable employment are very good and work
men ss well as men of capital Will find plenty OF
chances in and around the town. Livingston Is
less than year old, 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's rail
road shops, Brainerd; summer visitors, Saratoga;
lumber, Eau Claire; silver and gold mines, Den
yer; cattle Kansas City, iron and coal, Pittsburg:
that e. combination of all of these factors as ls
found here should, within the next five years
make this point city of at least O,0O0 people.
The prediction may seem wild one, but we have
yet to see or know anyone who, few years ago,
was accused of being wild then in their predic
tions, who predicted one-half of what has actual
ly occurred in the Northern Pacific country. We
sold lots in Fargo few years ago for 500 each
that would sell to-day for $40 0Oe; acres at james
town for SIS per acre cost 48 cents) that to-day
sell Tor $l,5OO, and are quilt on. we have acree
to-day in Fargo which cost ISL cents that are
in town lots selling at the rate of 81 ESQ per
| acre. So lots at Livingston which we now offer
at from S25 to $3.50 will, inside OF years. sell al
from $500 to $4,000 apiece. They have done &c
at all good points on the road in the past, and
they viii in the future-particularly at an ezcep-
| tionally good point like this. We sd Rnce price
