 Inspiration Properties

Engineer Harris, superintendent of electrical construction for the local reclamation service left last week to start the survey of the high power transmission line to connect the Roosevelt dam with the Inspiration and Miami mines.
 . Mir Harris is in charge of all cleo trical work of the project. Everything pertaining to the construction and operation of electrical machinery, plants and lines is under his charge.

NEW DIRECTOR FOR
 PHOENIX BANKS
George Olney Becomes Member of Board Phoenix National Bank; is Pioneer Arizona Business
 Man.

PHOENIX, Aug. 2S-The Phoenix National Bank and the Phoenix Saw ings Bank and Trust company this week inserted another entirely new and solid rock into their already firm foundations, when at meetings of the boards of directors George A .Olney was elected to fill the only vacancy.
 Mir. Olney is pioneer business man of the state,well known in every part of it, and representative of the best interests in this valley, though Phoe- nix has been his home only since last June. He came to Arizona about thir- ty-one years ago, settling in the upper Gila river valley, Stafford and Solomon vile have been the seat of his busi ness operations.
 Last spring he came to Phoenix and bought country home in Orange wood, the beautiful suburban settle ment at the north end of Central aven- ue, bringing his family here in June and preparing to make it his perman- ent residence. Even before that he had identified himself with the busi- ness interests of the valley by organi- zing the Glendale Hardware company Of which he is now leading spirit.
 MT. Olney has made Phoenix his home for the reason that conditions here are better fors such activities as he has elected to indulge himself in. He is director of the Gila Valley Bank & Trust company, as he has been for long time and he is also director of the Arizona Fire InSur- ance company, both of which offices give him state wide concern in the prosperity of the country. In his cleo tion the bank mana agement feels that it has added a new tower of strength to a fortification that has hitherto been regarded as impregnable to the assaults of untoward financial condi- tions.

WILL RETIRE WITH GREATEST HONORS

PRESCOTT, Aug. 2S.-Reports are in circulation that Lieutenant-C Colonel A. O. Brodie, stationed at San Fran cisco, has been promoted to colone- ely, and that his retirement from ac- tive service in the army will take puace on November 13 next, he hay ing reacl;., the prescribed age Ii IT, it.
 This news Will be learned with much interest in Prescott, where for many years ns dislnguished citi- zen and s,id;o- -cs. dei Colonel Brodie has a splerlid record in tho when fresh fir TT West Point, as q second lie, enant. he was ordered in 1868 to take s.a1ion at Camp Apache, being ass sTied to the second cavalry. Without any Of tue experience of those old Officers who were con- versant with the Indian or border life, this young officer at the jump off made a brilliant record that daz- zled the .old-Jime military man. Young Bro lie was assigned to com mand an escort out of ihaJ post when general o. Howard was leaving the place after making all inspection. The handful of cavalry on returning were aubushed by the Apaches who numbered five to one of the detachment, and a lively fight followed. This was at q point iE . canyon about six miles to the east of the fort. By the strategic hand ling of his men, Brodie proved the victor and saved the command from annihilation, the casualties amonas the troops numbered only a few wounded. For this courageous and brilliant duty special order was ice 1,xyt hn o,.1rO Of NTnr. mending him, and which for many years sfterward could be seen posted cons spicuously a West Point. From Apache he was ordered to Fort Whipple and other points adjacent to Prescott, where he served under General Crook until the outbreak of the Neg Perces Indians in the north, when he was ordered to that point He served in that campaign for sev- elll months and won the admiration again of the military. He left the army near Walla Walla, resigning his commission, and returned east to join his father and look after the interests of the later, which were valuable. Later he came to Pres colt and became identified with min ing, working several mines at Tip Top, then booming camp. Drifting with the tide. as it were, he operated in one and then another locality, H. nally locating tke Grown Point group of mines on the Lower Hassayampa, an interest in which valuable prop erty he retains to this day.
 His military training as a civil en- gineer equipped him for civil life, and in the sos he was made general superintendent of the Walnut Grove Water Storage company, where his ability assorted itself in the con struction of the lower or service dam of that water storage undertaK- ing. ;. ira re h.rsting of the upper dam, Brodie followed the mining of the Grown Point group, which was conducted for sometime. but eXpen- sive transportation and other ;.ur-

QUAIL EATING GRAIN
 CROPS IN GRAHAM CO.

The farmers of Graham county are desirous of having the game law so amended that quail hunting season will not open later than August IS, as after that date this season the birds became so numerous that they destroyed acres of grain. The fields are now swarming with the birds but the law forbids hunting them.
 Parties returning last week from Indian Hot Springs say the quail raised before them like fiocks of black birds on the short ride down to the railroad station. And yet while these birds are pests to the Gila Valley grain fields the sporting spirit is muzzled and the appetite for quail is compelled to starve because the law forbids the killing of the birds.

dens were heavy, which necessitated the shutting down of the property.
 When the call for volunteers was made in the Spanish-American war Brodie offered his services to the nation and was made the ranking major of. sthe Rough Rider regiment. In the first fight in Cuba he was wounded Gnd afterward did not take any part in that brief conflict. He was rewarded by the republicans of Arizona with a nomination for con gross in 1898, but was defeated. Later he was appointed governor Of the territory, and his administration was an upright one. He then enter ed the military service again and after a decade, steps down and out with a record that is graced with eff ficiency and with a personality that endears him to all in and out of the service. Colonel Brodie and his es- tinlable wife are expected to make their home in Arizona, and that Prescott will be selected is believed
