THE JAY GOULD MILLIONS.
(From tho Hartford Times.

George J. Gould, one OF the trustees OF
tho estate OF his father. jay Could. tes-
titled In court that In 1906 the estate WAS
probably worth about 100000 The
revenue from tho trust probably Yields
each OF the six children of the late rail-
road magnate nm annual income of some
thing Ike three-Guarters OF n million.
Mr.. Goud's evidence was given for the
purpose OF indicating the income OF How
ard Gould at the time Of his separation
from his wife In 1906.
The Gould estate has had some hard
knocks since 1905, During tho panic OF
1907 and the following depression many
OF the Gould properties suffered badly.
and the total value Of tho estate shrank
severely. But during the past year tho
market value of the Gould securities has
appreciated greatly.
jay Gould died In 1892 He left real
estate valued ut about 100000 and per-
sonal property aggrcgatins $780, 900. He
bequenthed s5,oooooo to his son George
ns special compensation for his services
In airing for his fathers varied interests.
and he directed that the rest Of hts es-
tate be divided into six equal shares. TO
be held in trust and invested for the
benefit Of his children.
Probably tho Gould estate, In trust. Is
to-day worth about what II was Mt tho
time Of the death OF Jay Gould. But out
OF the income which It yields the various
children have been able 10 accumulate
Independent fortunes. II would grieve
