Iron Mountain (Missouri) railroad.
Now there appears in the schedule
of oroDertv belonging to his estate,
$0,000,000 in bonds invested iu this
roa.il. from which investment, wo
willl sav. an annual dividend is paid
of :j(i0.000. or J0,000 a month. This
ainonntiwhich represents the wealth
produced by a part of the State of
Missouri, finds lodgement in another

Before J. Gould died, liko many
multi-millionaires of these times, he
appointed by his will a self-perpetuating
board of tiustees to control
his rotates. By this very act he
gave direction to the wealth pro

man who i3 not evea a citizen or
