CONCLUDED TO ADVERTISE.

Tuesday the grand jury got lit tie jolt on the jail cells business, and they were plainly informed that there were in Nogales several con tractors who had intended putting in bids for cells, but had been shut out bv the inconsiderate haste with which the contract had been let, without advertisement And the grand jury was pointedly asked why it did not investigate the sub feet. No satisfaction was given the inquirers; but the matter must have been carried right to the board ot supervisors, for before evening word was taken from the board to the contractors in question that the board has concluded to advertise 1 for bids, and that they will be given a chance to do SO
 Now to advertise for bids was what the board of supervisors should have done in the first place. Had they observed the plain provi' sion of the law in that respect they would have saved themselves g world of trouble, saved themselves the respect of their fellow citizens and save vast amount of hard feeling all around.

the real situation of the jail cells business. It has been reported that the original contract with the Pauly Jail Cells Co. was suspended be- cause the contractor had failed to comply with the specifications of its contract with regard to time. So if the board has now concluded to let the contract anew it is evident that the Pauly contract has been cancelled.

MExIco's GOLD LOAN.
A New York Telegram dated the

A New York Telegram dated the I2th says:
 J..P. Morgan & Co.,, announced today the the terms of the Mexican gold loan of 1899, amounting to $IIo,o95 ,ooo in American gold, S22, 700, 900 in the English equiv alent, and 463.oSo, 900 German marks. This is the largest finan- cial scheme ever undertaken by the Morgan house and it is presumed that their fee will be largely in ex- cess of SI, ,ooo, ,ooo, which was their fee in several railroad reorganiza- tions.
 The issue will be made simul- taneously in Berlin, Frankfort and Amsterdam by s. Bleichroder, the Deutsche Bank and the Derdner Bank; i'll London by J. s. Morgan x Co. and in New York by ]. P. Morgan x Go. The subscription books will be opened at 10 o'clock this morning and will remain open until September I. The bonds will be made out to "bearer" and will be delivered in denominations of 62o, AIoo, A2oo, A5oo and ( 1000 and their equivalents in marks and dollars, and will bear 5 per cent. interest.
 This loan is to refund at a lower rate of interest an outstanding loan of twenty million pounds. The an- nual saving on interest will ex- ceed one hundred thousand dollars.
 This is the first Mexican loan floated in the United States in more than forty years.
 In handling the loan Morgan & Co. sent seventy-five millions of the bonds to Europe and above thirty five millions were placed i'll the United States. That amount was ! floated in three days, and within a week the demand exceeded double that amount. It would have been possible to float the entire loan m the United States.
 One feature i'll the transaction which should not be overlooked IS that the bonds, principal and inter- est, are payable in gold. Mexico, a country which is on silver basis, makes her obligations payable in the money of the commercial world, while the United States, gold basis nation, leaves open door for repudiation, by issuing "coin" bond which with change ot poli- , tical parties would be paid in depre- ciated silver. It would seem that Mexico is more honest than the United States.

TUESDAY evening MT. John O. Dunbar returned home to Phoenix. While here MT. Dunbar was in negotiation, with view to buying the Vidette, but whether deal IS closed THE OASIS is not informed. So far as THE OASIS is concerned it would like to see the Vidette pass into the hands of MT. Dunbar, for the gentleman is newspaper man and runs a paper for profit. While his paper would no doubt oppose THE OASIS upon public matters, he would not adopt the cut throat policy on business which the Vi- dette has always rendered neces- sorry in Nogales. In other words MT. Dunbar fights with his pen not with his purse.

THOSE INDICTMENTS.

With grand Jury speciahy packed for three purposes (to cinch THE OASIS, to cinch the district at torney and to shield the board of supervisors), the push" succeeded in bringing into court this week three accusations and two indict- ments-two accusations against the district attorney, two indictments against the editor of THE OASIS and one accusation against Joseph Tay- Tor. The district attorney is accus- ed upon a trumped-up charge ot having kidnapped someone and of dismissing a case against the editor of THE OASIS in Justice Taylor s court, when he was charged with carrying a concealed weapon; viz: a sword cane; the editor of THE OASIS is indicted on accusation of having libeled the Ullman boys, of whom to say anything good would be libel lous, and the board of supervisors, the gentlemen making the board thus being thrown into very sweet scented company; and the charge  against Judge Taylor is that some three months ago he issued a per init to carry a pistol to Walter J. N. McCurdy, against whose life threats had been made by some of he push
 So far as the two accused legal gentlemen are concerned, while THE OASIS is not authorized to speak, it may not be amiss to say that they are serene and unconcern- ed. They know the motives and malice of the instigators ot the pro- secution and await with the utmost confidence the time when they shall appear before trial jury.
 THE OASIS editor is likewise in a contented and complacent frame ol mind over the matter. In due time he will appear before a jury of his peers-one which cannot be packed by his personal enemies, and he will walk out of court free Amer ican citizen, to the confusion ane modification of his prosecutors.

 grand juror is member of a firm all the property assessed to the firm is listed to him, e. g., M. Breen for Breen and Peck.
 So according to the Vidette, the grand jury possess over one-fourth of the taxable property ot the county of Santa Cruz. As the grand jury possess just ffty-hve thousand, five hundred and six dollars worth of taxable prop erty, it would seem that the total taxable property of the county has been greatly over estimated, tol if the Vidette is right the total tax roll cannot foot up more than quarter of million dollars.
 But everyone knows that the ta2 roll foots up about g million dol lars. Sc instead of over one quarter of the taxable property il the county the grand jury repre- sents about one-twentieth.
