OF county agents employed &cooperat1veiy by the
Department Of Agriculture and state agricultural
colleges raised 10000 Of corn last year with

examples of the self-made business man in Arizona where he spent the greater part of his life.
 Born in Ireland October 12, 1863, he passed the first 17 years of his life in his native land. He was left an orphan at an early age, and was educated in the National schools of Ireland through the aid of relatives. When he reached the age of IT MT. Brophy decided to come to America to seek his fortune. He came direct to California in 1881 and two years later he moved to Arizona. He spent some time at his brothers ranch in the Sulphur Springs valley and moved to Bisbee in 1884.
 His first position was with the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company at Bisbee. He was later transferred to the mercantile estab- lishment operated by the Copper Queen.
 MT. Brophy remained with the Cop per Queen store at Bisbee until 1921 when corporation was formed to take over a string of stores in South western mining camps. He was of- fered and accepted the general man. agement of the company with head quarters at Bisbee.
 When the United States entered the World War MT. Brophy resigned his position with the Phelps-Dodge corporation and went overseas with the Red Cross. He was assigned to the Paris branch where he remained until after the arn1istice was signed when he returned to Bisbee. He did not resume the management of the mercantile corporation and moved to California with his wife. This sum- mer Mr. Brophy built $150,000 home in Los Angeles.
 He retained his interest in the Phelps-Dodge Mercantile company and in addition was director of the First National Bank of Los Angeles, president of the Bank of Bisbee, vice president of the Bank of Douglas and also director in the Arizona Central Bank, as we'll as interested in the Apache Railroad and big sawmills at Cooley. He also had extensive prop erty holdings through the Southwest.
 He was a real fellow, big hearted and generous, one of the best known of the live business men of the south west. His death will be mourned wherever he was known and the sym pathy of the whole southwest goes out to the bereaved family.
