SERIOUS CHARGES MADE
 AGAINST YAVAPAI OPTIC FRS

Abuse of authority on the part of peace officers and others has taken place at Jerome, according to a -eport of Yavapai county grand jury, G!ei in superior court. Collision between city authorities and alleged gambling houses is charged.
 The grand jury was summoned fol- lowing sensational charges involving Clarence Sage, a special officer, two city policemen and another in an al- legged mistreatment of a 19-year-old girl
 Ceases of coercion, wrongful depor- tation and levying of tribute" were testified to before the grand jury which examined ten possible cases and brought in nine indictments.
 "The conduct of the deputy United States marshal at Jerome" the re- port said, "has to some extent been laid before us and while we have not felt justified in taking positive action, we do recommend that the United States marshal of Arizona look care fully into the situation"
 The jury inspected various county institutions and reported that condi- tions at the county hospital were most "disgraceful." Sanitation and conveniences that hospitals should have are lacking, the report concludes.

TEMPE BRIDGE OPENED
 AFTER A NOVEL TEST

Testing the staunchness of the structure first by driving a large flock of sheep over it and then by permit ing several heavily loaded trucks to cross the state engineering department opened the Tempe bridge to traffic.
 A large flock of sheep were on the bank of the river at one end of the Tempe bridge, marooned there when the structure was closed. Their own CTS wanted the sheep across the river as soon as possible, and it was ac- cordingly arranged that the sheep be driven across to test the strength of the bridge. After the bridge had stood the moving weight of the flock with out difficulty, several loaded motor trucks were driven across. After this experiment had been a success the bridge was adjudged safe for traffic
 In the recent flood the central part of the Tempe bridge sank only an eighth of an inch, having already sunk more than inches. It had been fear ed that the sagging of the structure in the middle would weaken it and make it unsafe. Repairing of the sag ging center pier will be begun soon it was said.

w. H. Sirdevan, chief mine engineer and also chief efficiency engineer of the United Verde Copper company, is dead.
 MT. Sirdevan left Jerome a little more than three weeks ago, going to San Francisco to visit his mother, who was at the time in frail health, fearing that it might be his last opportunity of seeing her and took short leave of absence for that purpose.
 While in the California city he took a severe cold, which turned into in fuenza with pneumonia following.
 Mrs. Sirdevan and daughter left last Friday for San Francisco as soon as they heard of MT. Sirdevan's illness, and in the face of telegram from the doctor stating that he was making good progress and was not considered in danger. They arrived some hours after he had passed away.

PROSPEROUS YEAR FOR
 THE UNITED EASTERN

The final report of the United Eastern for 1919 shows that property to have been one of the most prosper ous of the big gold properties of the United States. The total gross pro- duction shows the mine to have pro- duced $2,006, ,903.26, and the dividend payments approximately $1,120,O0O. The mill handled 1925 tons of ore that had value above $20 per ton. The best months were January and May the recovery being $210,767.13. June also ran above S200,000, and De- cember totaled $19S,201.39. During August and September the mill was operated on short time owing to the strike caused by the I. w. w., but the big mill immediately picked up its production in the months following.
 The company has been in operation only few years, but it has gradually increased its gold production until it has reached a wonderful high plane. The opening of the ore body on the 1340 level has given the mine a-iong lease of life and makes possible the payment, of dividends for many years to come. It has laid away big fund for rainy day and will be in shape at any time to take over and operate new property. Its proposal to join forces with the Tom Reed in con- solidation of the two great properties, is said to be sure of early consumma- tion. The matter will undoubtedly be taken up at the annual meeting of the stockholders, which is to be held at the offices of the company at Oatman early next month. This would make the company, or rather the two com- panies that are to join in the merger, one of the largest gold producing con- cerns in the United States and would boost the shares to unprecedented fig ures.
 The last dividend of the company was based on the new plan of quar- terly distributions to the sharehold- CTS, 21 cents per share being paid.

PROPOSES NEW CONVENT

It is now almost assured that next year will see the erection of Cath ollie convent in Douglas which will compare with any in other cities of the southwest. This enterprise has been under consideration and prepara- tion for several years.
 Father Rouselle said that the fund for the erection of Catholic convent school in Douglas was already nearing the amount which would warrant the starting of work. Seventeen thous- and dollars is now on hand for the school and this is being added to from time to time. It is the intention of Father Rouselle to start building whenever he increases the building fund to S2O,000. With this amount of cash on hand he said it would not be hard to finance $40,000 building of the very best material.
