GRAND JURORS UPHOLD SUITS
 NJ TRUE BILLS

Reciting that they had made a careful investigation of the highway engineer contract, tl4e grand jury in Ia report submitted at 8:45 last night, expressed the opinion that 1t was an "improvident" contract. The report reflected the opinion of the engineer society of this county, that hiring en- gineers outside of Arizona consti- tuted an insult to the profession in the state.
 The only reason fer the conclusion in the report, according to an expla- nation by County Attorney John L. Sullivan after Judge Sweeney had thanked and dismissed the jurors, was that the fee of $60,000 seemed tco high. The opinion was also ex- pressed, as in the complaint of the taxpayers who are seeking to halt the contract, that it constitutes too great a delegation of the commits sion's powers.
 The other issue in the court house concerning the alleged vacancy in the board of supervisors, also was acted upon by the jury in a recom- mendation that the board call a special meeting and appoint some one to fill the vacancy. In both the highway and supervisoral vacancy cases, the jury's report IS in line with plaintiffs contentious in actions now pending in the superior court.
 There were no indictments return ed, and the report discusses nothing of a criminal nature. It praises high ly the, county hospital under the man. agement of Superintendent and Mrs. Fred Campbell and in general finds conditions in the county offices in ex- cellent shape There were a number of interesting recommendations, some of them being:
 That there be a second superior judge; that there be fans and more ventilation in the court room, that jail tank be built in the basement to hold more prisoners now crowded upstairs; that all broken windows be repaired that the sheriff have three more deputies.
 William Herter was foreman, L. V. Ingraham clerk and Mrs. C. Stu art Madden, stenographer for the grand jury. Harry Temple acted as bailiff.
 Concerning the highway commits sion, the reports exact words are:
 After hearing considerable evil dence relating to this contract we are of the opinion that the majority members of the highway commis- sion transcended their powers and certainly entered into an exceedingly improvident contract. We feel that the expenditure of $60,000 as co1item- plated by said contract IS gross injustice to the taxpayers of this county and unwarranted from any aspect Of the situation. In the sec ond place, Ve deem it an insult to Arizona engineers to pass them up as iAcompetents and engage those from another state, when as mat ter of fact, Arizona engineers are amply competent to lay out and the construction of the roads of Arizona.
 In the third place, we understand, from legal advice given us, that the board of highway commission, are not clothed with the power to dele- gate their powers and functions to others; and this seems to be the eff feet of said contract.
 We, therefore, condemn this con tract as being, in our opinion, gross ly improvident and highly prejudical to the taxpayers of Yavapai county.

Mexican Petroleum . Feature.

An outstanding feature OF an other
wise fiat market was Mexican Petroleum,
which gyrated about with more than
It's customary agility. All sorts Of ru-
mors were put into circulation to help
traders Those who wanted the stock
to go up were making weird predictions
concerning the Pan-American earnings
statement. which is to be published late
this week, and limiting at corner in
Mex. On the other hand were bear
traders who talked mysteriously Of In
vestigations and probable drastic action
by the Stock Exchange. The latter re-
port even went so far as to suggest
that the governors of the Exchange
would throw the stock off its list. The
Pan-American Petroleum and Transport
Company's earnings were said In one
quarter to be as much as S11 a share
for the first six months OF the year, but
1t is known that they will actually show
not much more than half that amount.
its shares being of $50 par value 1t
was rumored that the Pan-American
statement would show that the corpora
ton had largely increased its holdings
OF Mexican Petroleum shares. The fact
ia that In May and June one OF the
formers subsidiaries purchased 1900
shares OF Mex, which was publicly an
nounced at the time. No other ac-
questions have been made.

Denies Inspiration story.

c. Il. Kelley. president of the Ana
conda Copper Mining Company denied
yesterday the report that the Inspiration
Consolidated Copper Company contem-
rlated immediate resumption OF opera
tons 1t was pointed out that the Inter-
national Smelling Company, which shut
down in March, had begun operations.
That smelter treats the ore OF the In
spiration and the Miami companies.
Miami contributed steady production
turing the summer at the monthly rate
of 4,250.0o0 pounds, and the smelter has
been taking the ore and delivering cop
per metal out OF stocks. The ore thus
stored from month TO month has taxed
the storage capacity of the smelter
which has started operations once more
to relieve the situation with respect to
ore storage. That situation is believed
to have been the basis for the inspira-
tion rumor.
