The writer first met this Boer genera
! in the latter part of 1870. At that time
Joubert was one of the trfumvirate
who were planning the rebellion to
overthrow British rule in the Trans
vaal. The others We're Kruger and
Pretorius. who founded the republics
of the Orange Free State and the
Transvaal. In those days Joubert was
impetuous, and it required all the sa-
gacity of Kruger to keep him in check
in order that he might not rush hos
tilities before the best moment had
come to strike the blow for freedom.
IT was hard work for Kruger. but he
managed to do it. When the time,
however, came to fight the English.
Joubert was given complete control of
all the Boer forces. Kruger in all the
battles took his orders from Joubert
and obeyed them without a question.
for the Transvaal president had i'm
plicit faith in his generalship. In 1894
the writer had the good fortune to
spend few days with General Jouhert
in the northern portion of the Trans
Vaal, while he was there with large
force of men putting down 6 rebellion
among the Malaboch natives. Though
there were over 5000 natives up in
arms, and Joubert had only 1000 at
his command, he put down the fighting
Malaboch in very short time, captur
ing their chief who was a woman-tIe

il his sixty eighth year, he is as full
Of fire and fight as he was in 1891 when
he defeated the British at Maiuba Hill.
Beside being the general Of the Boer
forces, Joubert is also vice president
of the TransvaaI, and next to Kruger
stands nearer to the hearts of the
Beers than any man in the Transvaal.
His notable battles have been: De
feating the British at Laing's Mex: de
feating the Natal troops, under General
Cooley, at Majuba Hill: completely
suppressing the Swazies in 1885, d feat
which the British We're unable to &C
conplish though they tried it for years
and finally turned over Swaziland to
the Beers in 1855 as being a bad egg;
but it did not take old Joubert long to
trim the 5wazies. and they are now
among the best behaved OF the native
of old Kruger; and whipped
Jameson when he tried to raid Johan-
nesburg.
This is the kind of a man that the
British forces viii have to contend with
in the coming great struggle. Behind

C. OF. c. & Y. RAILWAY.

The future of Yuma never seemed
brighter than at the present time. The
project of gaining an outlet to the sea
is nearer a realization than ever be-
fore. The Sentinel says that Colonel
Stocker and his force OF surveyors are
now ten miles below Santa Clara
slough and are meeting no obstacles
whatever. Capt. Alfonso E. Smith has
been in Yuma for week awaiting the
return of the surveying party. The
captain is enthusiastic and says that
actual work viii commence on the road
within four months.
The road viii be called the Gulf Of
California and Yuma railroad and VIII
be 115 miles in length, extending from
Yuma to San Jorge bay on the gulf
When completed it will be of untold

There are 22S prisoners now confined
in the territorial prison. Twenty-six
men are serving life sentence, thirty
eight are serving time from ten to
forty years, ffty-seven from five to ten
years and 1O7 from one to five years
Composing this number are los white
men, ninety-seven Mexicans, two
Cinnamon, twelve Indians and nine
negroes. There are fourteen Mexicans
in the pen whose names begin with the

precincts of the institution are kept
clean in the most careful manner and
the inmates are all healthy.
Speaking of the urgent need of the
grading up of cattle on the Arizona
ranges the Wilcox Range News says:
The report that stockmen on the upper
San Pedro in this county have arranged
10 purchase 400 high grade bulls for
their mingled herds is one which we
would be most glad to hear confirmed.
Whenever the cattlemen of a district
begin to cooperate in this way they
have made long step in advance. The
greatest obstacle to the Improvement
of the cattle in most localities is the re-
fusal of some non-p progressive owners
to buy good bulls. Their neighbors,
who believe in breeding up but feel too
poor to provide good sires for all the
breeding cattle in the country, COM
promise by investing in stock OF me
dunn quality. Now when prices are
good and cattIenen are forehanded is
"a good time to make the change If
every stOclInan will do his part, the re-
suit will be most gratifying. Cattle in

reputation for quality, bat there is yet
room for improvement Raise choice

Particulars of the Ezekiels- RASMUSSEN
Affair.

Regarding the killing of C. c. Ras-
mussen in Tucson on Saturday last by
Al I3zel1iels, the Citizen says:
Al. I1zekiels shot and killed c. c..
! Rasmussen at 2 o'clock Saturday af-
ternoOn- Rasmussen was contractor
and builder and was about 80 years
old. He lived alone in an adobe house
a short distance east of the railroad
track. In that same neighborhood he
owned a number of houses which he
has rented. One of these houses had
been occupied by al. Ezekiels and his
family. Ezekiels has been out OF work
for some time and ran behind III his
rent. The story as told by those who
live in the neiShborhood is that Eze-
l1iels' wife has been critically i'll and
confined to her bed for some weeks
and Ezekiels has been almost constant
ly with her. Some days ago Rasnus-
sen started an eviction suit against the
Ezekiels family. to compel them to va
cate the house because of nOn-payment
of rent.
Ezekiels went to see Rasmussen Sat
urday afternoon and asked him to a.
low them to occupy the house while
longer. The men had their discussion
in the street about forty feet in front
Of the Rasmussen house and were OBJ
served by several neighbOrs.- They ap-
peared to be quarreling and were using
vigorous language toward each other
although no one was near enough to

up. A few minutes later he was inter

evidenced no disposition to conceal
anything, but he was so overcome by
emotion and excitement that he could
not talk connectedly. The prisoner is
well known in Tucson. He was raised
here and he has lived here since child
hood. He was married here four or
five years ago and he has two chill
drcn. He is - years old. He was for
several years a United States deputy

cAPr1vArED STOCKHOLM.

In 1891 Richard Hooiey sat in his box
at his theater in Chicago and looked at
a play being given by the Swedish so
CietieS of Chicago One of the perform
ers was Miss Hilma Nelson. She i'm
pressed him as Being possessed of tai

The latter requested TO see the young
lady and was agreeably surprised at
her talent. He engaged her. She re-
manned with him until 1897 and then
rested a year. Now she is appearing
at the Vasa theater in Stockholm, sing
ing the leading role in 'Geisha.' The
surprising part Of the matter lies il
the fact that she sings in English,
while the rest of the performers use
Swedish. She has captivated the peo-

There is 4 man in South Africa to-
ward whom the eyes of the world are
row turned and every movement will
/ lie watched with the greatest interest
Ee is the central figure of the great
hostilitieS that have commenced in
isouthern Africa between the British
! forces and the Beers.
/ This man is General Petl.I1s JacoI,,s
Joubert. Now that the diplomacy of
President Paul Kruger has failed to
bring about peace with honor to the
Transvaal the work of General Joubert
has begun, and from now on Joubert
will be the central figure in the South
African crisis.
This Boer general is a man rough of
speech, but a fighter whose capabilities
the English well appreciate. Joubert
was born in the Cape Colony in the
latter part Of 1881. being six years
younger than Dom Paul Kruger.
There is some French Huguenot blood
in his veins, from which he gets his
bulldog tenacity. When a boy of
years Of age. Joubert was ia ken with
his parents to the Orange Free States.
He was taught from early childhood
to detest the British, and that has been
one great force in his life, and it is TO
this hatred of the British that Joubert
owes the fact that he is one of the
greatest fighters that ever commanded
a body Of men in an African campaign.
At an early age he learned how to han
die a gun and to shoot with remarkable
accuracy. He was n young man when
he went to the Transvaal. He soon
made his power felt among the sturdy
Beers of those days. 1t was always
said that Joubert could lead a body of
men more successfully against hostile
natives than any other man in the
Trarsvaal; so 1t came about that when
there was any ugly uprising among the
natives that Joubert was called on 10
lead detachment Of Beers to QueH tho
rebellion. In a very short time the IA
tives came to respect the fighting quail
tiles of Joubert. and his presence Al
the head Of a Boer regiment had
marked effect on She natives.
In appearance Joubert is about five
feet nine inches in height, stoutly built,
has bushy gray beard, and a face
tanned by the African sun. There is

Journal Miner that a condition of the
greatest business prosperity exists
throughout all that section Of country.
manufacturing establishments of all
kinds are in operation with orders
ahead to keep them busy for several
months. Money is seeking investment
more than ever before in the west.
During visit to Washington he con-
suited with officials of the war depart
ment in regard to the re-establishment
of Whipple barracks as military post
and was assured that no change had
been made from the previously issued
order for it's re-establishment. and that
none was contemplated. II was only a
question of time of getting to it, in the
midst of the many other pressing re
quirements Of the department.
He stated that he was perfectly sur
prised to learn through the press while
there that the order for free mail deliv-
cry in Prescott had been rescinded and
expressed the hope that the department
would reinstate the order and establish
free delivery.
