At the mouth Of the mine the scene
was beyond description The wives and

The mine is one Of the largest IN West

The pumps and all other machinery in

everything had TO be done through
temporary arrangements on the sur

the first party in less than an hour, but
they met greater difficulties after that

places for physicians, nurses and cas-

Robbers Roost is a thing of the
past. All the country down through
San Juan and following the Colorado
river has been abandoned. and 1 do

wild region that for so many years

a position to make the above assertion.

London. March IA dispatch to the
Standard from Osfontein dated Sun
day, March 4, says: General Joubert
is reported to be in supreme command
of the Boer forces here"
Lord Roberts still pauses in the
neighborhood of Osfontein, while
stores, remounts and fresh troops
stream toward him from the Cape. The
British position also continues to i'm
prove in the minor spheres of the cam
paign. Natal is clear Of Beers, and
Cape Colony is nearly so.
The Beers seemingly are pursuing
the course commended by the STRAIT
egists, and are concentrating to resist
the British main army. Various mes
sages from correspondents with Lord
Roberts report that the enemy are in
creasing continuously on his front, ex-
tending, as one correspondent wires,
eight miles, and, as another says,
eighteen miles. The lowest estimate
Of their numbers gives the Beers from
5000 TO 10000 men, with smaller bodies
moving north and south of the British
lines.

Beers Mounting Guns.

Each army is on both sides OF the
Modder river. Although the Beers
have mounted eight guns on the tops
of kopjes, and appear TO be too far
away for inspection, the British scouts
report that they are diligently using
pick and shovel. Military opinion is
that their present position merely
er in the region.
None OF the military experts en-
deavor to fathom Lord Roberts plans.
but IL is suggested that he is quite
willing TO give the Beers time to as
senbla al their men in order TO deliver
a smashing blow more effectively.
The round robin in favor Of the an
nexation of the TransvaaI and the Free
State. which is being promoted among
the supporters of the government in
the house of commons, continues 10 re-
ceive signatures. The signatories of
the memorial to Mr.. Balfour affirm that
the time has arrived for plain speaking
inside and outside Of parliament, and
that Lord SalisSIry's words are con-
strued into a pledge against annexa-
ton, and Lord Roberts proclamation
into a promise Of no cOniscation Of
BOer property.
The Transvaal agency at Brussels
threatens a rising Of the Cape Dutch
in the event Of annexation. though why
the Dutch should rise then rather than
now is not explained.
British Wounded Well Treated.
Mr.. A G. Hales, the Daily News
correspondent. who was captured by
the Beers on Feb. 8, was released at
Bloemfontein and put through the lines
near Sterkstroom. He telegraphs that
the Beers are demoralized, but adds
that they have been treating the Brit
ism wounded splendidly.
Spencer Wilkinson, in the Morning
Post today. confines his review Of the
military situation to mere record of
events, and concludes as follows: ct
almost seems as though Lord Roberts
wished TO let the Beers assemble as
much of their army as they can be

them"
a dispatch to the Daily News from

and describing the Boer position in
front Of Lord Roberts, says:

Vicious how they drag these weapons

In the Heart of the Roost.

1--WE QUILTED at Moab" said Bush,
at his home on Sixth East last night,
and went at once into the heart of
the 'roost,' following the walled can
yons and going down the Colorado
river to Dandy cross. We stayed in
there month, and got right into the
camp of the ROSTERS an act never
before accomplished in all the years
the gang inhabited that locality We
found plenty Of traces of them, but
the camps were deserted.
The cause was easily enough ascer-
tanned. There is no range. A drought
has been on for three years. and cattle

taken their belongings and skinned out
for other parts We found that they
had split up and scattered, some going
to Montana, others TO Wyoming, and
others into Arizona and Mexico. and
sheepmen are now going into the re-
gion without danger.
Moore Has Disappeared.
MY first object in going out this
season." continued Bush. was to find
Jack Moore. He is either dead or has
left the country. We secured no track
of him in our whole trip. though we
found his wife with Jack Blur, who
put up money for Silver Tips defense.
and who kept a rendezvous for the
outlaws, his place being known as
'Bhur's Robbers Roost. Here we re-
covered a horse stolen from a sheriff
some time ago by Blue John
Joe Walker was Moore's partner.
We learned that he and 'Three-fin-
gered' Jackson. Lafe Young, Blue John
and a man by the name Of Hopkins
were in various sections Of the country.
and we followed them through San
Juan county and the Blue mountains.
driving them out of the state. We were
about a day behind Jackson, Walker
and Young, until we got to Indian
creek, when they were only three hours
in advance OF US. We pushed on. but
they got new horses. while ours were
tagged, and soon got out of reach.
The men have so many friends in the
country that il is almost impossible TO
pursue them with any show of being
successful.
Another Gang Broken Up.
I'VE busted up another gang near
Blake, in the Book mountains, joe
Rose being one of the number. He is
the fellow who charmed a farmers
wife away from home a short time
ago."
Mr.. Bush brought home with him
an interesting couvenir of the trip. in
the form of a letter head, given him
by Joe Nouguier of San Rafael. 1t
reads:
Joseph Nouguier. dealer in grocer
les. sheep and cattle supplies. Head
quarters for Robbers BOOSTERS, San
Rafael Shortest route to Henry noun
tains. Ferryboat in high water"
This old fellow" said Bush. had
his store right among them. and stood
in with the gang because he had to.
AS he told me: I have TO cater to
them. so they viii buy my stuff. If I
didn't sell it to them. and let this place
be their hangOut. they would take it
anyway, for there is no protection
here"
Bush says the main bridges built by
the boosters" are still standing, and
are used occasionally by outlaws
travelling north or south.

1t is astonishing how great change few
years of married life will make in the
appearance and disposition of many women.
The freshness, the charm, the brilliance
vanish like the bloom from a peach which
is rudely handled. The matrOn is only a
dim shadow, a faint echo of the charming
maiden. There are two reasons for this
change, Ignorance and neglect. Few young
women appreciate the shock to the system
through the change which comes with
marriage. Many neglect to deal with the

With the single exception of Frederick

greatest leader of the Negro race who has
come up out of slavery itself. Everyone
knows what Mr.. Washington has done at
Tuskegee and elsewhere for the education
and uplifting of the race 1t Is also true
that he is a man of intensely interesting
personal character and history. All these
things lenb peculiar attractiyeness to the
ries of photographed articles which Mr..
Washington has written for THE OUTLOOK
under the title, "Up From Slavery" The
first installment is in the November
Magazine Number of THE OUTLOOK, and
is prefaced by lifelke and strongly drawn
portrait made for THE OUTLOOK by the
artist, Mr.. Alfred Houghton Clark. Among
the other illustrations of this first article
special interest attaches to two pictures of
log cabins, In one or the other of which Mr.
Washington was born-the uncertainty in
itself casts strong light on the conditions
of slavery. By coincidence, THE OUT

negro life, "The Sway Backed House," by
Charles w. Chestnut, himself in part of
negro blood, and the author of some of the
best stories of negro character ever written,
such as "The Wife of His Youth" (s3 a
