WILL LEAVE Mr.. A. s. Gould, who
for nearly one year has been Superin-
tendent of the Day mine, will leave here
either this evening or Sunday morning
for San Francisco. A number of his
friends will accompany him from town as
far rs Bristol. All the boys at Jackrabbit
are preparing to give him a fitting fare

him and say they never worked under a
more kind hearted boss and gentleman
than Mr.. Gould. 1t was this gentleman
who took the superintendency of the Day,
when it had the BLACKLIST name of any
mine in the State, and it is alone owing
to his energy and indomitable persever.
ance that the Day mine stands at the tor
ladder and can show the best record of any
mine throughout this section, and present
to public view an elegant breast Of high
grade ore. Mr.. Gould has our best
wishes and we hope, like four-ffths o.
our citizens and every person in Jack
rabbit District, to see his smiling counte
nance among us again at an early day.
