O. Brodie.
 ''Colonel Brodie, a soldier by training, was the first commanding ot1cer of this regiment. During the Spanish war he served with distinc- tion as commander of Arizona's squad ron of the first United States Volun- teer Cavalry. The guard is appre- ciative of the fact that he now con- tinues his association with it, as its commander-in-chiefb by virtue of his high office as executive of this Terri tory.
 By order of Colonel McClintock.

 "Captain and Adjutant. ,"
 The camp was visited during the week by a great many people from Prescott, the editor of the Journal Miner being among the number who went out on Saturday to witness the review, and inspection of the troops by Governor Bordie, which was fol lowed by a dress parade. These exer- cises were very creditable to officers and men alike, and they were surpris- ing in their accuracy to the visitors and particularly so as it was the first time that the various compan- ies had been assembled together, all previous exercises having been done as individual companies.
 The appropriation first made to cover the expense of this encampment was SS, 800 and with that sum Col. Leavell. planned two weeks encamp- ment. The appropriation was after wards cut down 5000 or to S6, 800 andswith this amount it was found i'm practical to continue it for two weeks, the transportation charges be- ing the heaviest expense and this costing just as much for one week as for two.
 Out of this appreciation made by the general government, not by the territory, the cost of transportation of troops and all equipage was paid.
 
 each paid 51.OO per day and board. Officers receive no pay, and provide their own board. About 200 officers and men have been in the camp dur ing the week. The names of the officers of the National guard of Arizona who are in attendance at the en- campment follow:

 Among the visitors from abroad at the camp during the week was Captain J. l.. B. Alexander, formerly of the rough riders and an attorney of Phenix, known all over the territory The military spirit developed during the Spanish American war is like the Cuban fever, so many of the soldiers become afflicted with, it "comes back'' on Captain Alexander occasionally and he came up to live over again, for a brief period, his former camp life. While not actively connected with the militia, Captain Alexander is one of its staunch friends, and takes an ac- tive interest in its welfare. On Sunday morning at g o'clock the officers and men were all assem- bled in front of the tent of the com manding officer and divine services were conducted by Rev. H. F. Tolle, of Prescott.
