responded with his own and Tay- lor's, from which assay he received a return accordingly. He was near two hundred dollars better off than he would have been had he sold the bullion upon Pellegrin's assay. Upon the grand jury that Pellegrin went before was one man who knew all about the transac. tion, and it is believed that he laid the entire transaction before that body. At any rate upon the show ing made there was no indictment found. At the time TIE OASIS editor was at Alamos, and knew nothing of what was doing here in Nogales.
 Now, then, this Ish bullion, and the first instance cited herein, are not tne only cases Of the kind that have been conveyed to TIE OASIS wherein Pellegrin's assays of bull lion have been called in question. There have been others that could be cited. And they have caused several persons who may be named to reach a conclusion that there is something funny in Pellegrin's as- says of bullion, with, possibly, a very neat and profitable graft. And all those people, and their friends, have no hesitation in the assertion that he is the last man who should "holler" against graft, or deal out therefor the "anathema marantha."

"anaTHEma maRaNrHA."

Editorials appearing within the week in the Times recall the tale of the disgruntled fellow vino cursed the entire village:
 "He cursed the church; he cursed the steeple:
 He cursed the priest and all the people,"
 The church, the steeple and the priest are about all in Nogales that the two Dromios have refrained from cursing in the delectable col umns of their alleged newspaper during the week that has elapsed since Saturday last. Here's sam pie:
 ''It seems that present day investiga- tions going on all over the country-all sultant developments, compel one to the sad conclusion that graft and general dishonesty run riot everywhere, while honesty Tn public and private life is at a premium.
 .'Our readers need not look farther than Nogales for an example. Almost every department of the public and private service, federal, judicial, muni- cipal and commercial, is today suffering from the evil and really it is so com mon as to scarcely excite comment.
 Officials employees and clerks known to be dishonest known to be living fast and loose" lives, beyond their means, who gamble, who drink; who have embedded funds entrusted to their care, whose daily associates and companions are persons of disreputable character, are not only continued in their respon- slbe positions but i'll many cases are actually promoted to positions Of still greater trust and responsibility.
 There is much more of the same sort in the article from which the excerpts quoted above are made. It would be difficult to find any where a more sweeping indictment of an entire community than there Is carried in the foregoing. The judiciary and the official and busi- ness community of the town of No- gales and the county of Santa Cruz are arraigned in the foregoing and other paragraphs of the same art icle in way that has been done seldom in any part of the world.
 It is improbable that such con- dition of affairs as that described could exist any length of time in any community. Such condi- tion would break down of its own rottenness. Normally constituted people will not believe any such wholesale arraignment of an entire community, particularly when done in terms so general. Were the persons who are resposible for the Times and its yagaries real newspaper men desirous of doing the community a real service, and purge it of the undesirable citi- zens" 1t describes or gives allusion.

WHEN they were framing the license ordinance why did not the town board stick a license on print shops? THE OASIS would pay license tax very willingly.
The oasis., 1907-10-05

HHt Hd~ bttU AulttN ItIUutIIleUtHt let the Times come into the open, and say who embedded, and when, and how, and what, and who cov- cred the embezzlement, and in what way. If any of the judiciary who dispense justice here in Santa Cruz county have prostituted their high offices with graft and general dishonesty, let the Times point out the exalted culprits, produce the proofs, and THE OASIS will join them in bringing about impeachment pro- ceedings. Are there any federal officials who are grating, let the Times present the facts, and there
 will be found means for laying those facts where the guilty will be punished and the grafting squelch- ed. If there be any thievery in
 municipal affairs let the Times make 1t known. and THE OASIS will as- sist in probing it to the bottom. If any of the business community are defrauding the public, and the Times has the proof, it is the. busi- ness of that concern to produce it, and let the machinery of the law begin operation toward its correc- ton.
 Having made the charges quoted, and made them so sweeping, 1t is up to the Times to make good it's assertions; for unless it does those very assertions will be accepted as from minds diseased, which condition THE OASIS has maintained always is that of the alleged minds of the conductors of the Times.
 In another article the Times as- sails the new license ordinance, and makes all sorts of criticism upon the provisions and details of that instrument. Many of it's obiec- ions are chimerical and others are unfair. In one particular instance,
 10 point its objection 1t quotes the provision with an important part omitted. The ordinance was fram- d by good lawyers who had before hem similar ordinances that have been adopted by other towns in Arizona. and they were used as No ordinance ever was anywhere that suited every body. The only objection TIE OASIS can see to the ordinance is hat 1t does not tax printing of ices.
 Then another of the character stic ffothings of the outfit was stirred by the article in last weeks ssue of THE OASIS. in which was stated that credible information 1ad come to this newspaper that 'ince Pellegrin was busted from the United States rssayership the lead ound Tn ore importations had in- creased so the government had 'ealized already more than three
 housand dollars in duties, where
The oasis., 1907-10-05

.tolumHS ls Dfauutt as H CHafac. teristic lie" But which branch of the statement k lie the half witted asayer.editor does not specify. Whether the government is not now getting lead assays from ores imported, or whether Pellegrin re- turned lead assays when he was assayer, he fails to state. He is called to file bill of particulars. (By the way, Pellegrin has not taken down from the front of his place the sign which reads "U. s. Assayer." And he went out of the office some months ago.
 Now that the two subjects of grating and assaying have come up in q single issue of the Times, it may not be amiss to say right here that in Nogales and in Sonora there are those who assert a belief that one of the greatest and most insidious gratis in the country is in the assays of gold and silver bullion made by this man Pellegrin. Repeatedly has been made. that as- sertion to THE OASIS editor by men he knows in Sonora who have claim ed to have knowledge of facts SUD- porting their assertion. Within month a we'll known railroad man cited to the writer a case of that kind. He stated that a man he knows brought from the Altar dis trict some gold bullion he had ground out by arrastra. It went to Pellegrin for assay, and that worthy returned it as little more than TOO fine. Dissatisfied with that the man sent the bullion to. San Francisco, where it went more than 800 fire, and he was paid for his bullion on that basis. The difference between Pellegrin's as- say, stated the railroad man quot ed, and the assay made in San Francisco, was more than one hun- dred dollars, which the owner of bullion would have lost had he sold his gold upon Pellegrin's as- say. And THE OASIS has been told that there have been number of such instances. Three years ago THE OASIS cited something of the kind, and Pellegrin went before d grand jury in an effort to secure an indictment for libel. The grand jury refused to indict. The facts in that case, as related to TIE OASIS by Mir. Ish were about as follows:
 Mir. k. L. Ish, who is running a mine now near Patagonia, was running one over in the Orc Blan- co country, on which was a Mill turning out bullion. He brought over a bar of bullion which he had assayed himself at the mill where it was produced; and he knew pretty closely the actual value of the gold therein. He took the bar to Pel- legrin to sell; and the return made by Pellegrin was less than his own
