 SoIomon<ille. Ariz., June zs.-There is no further excitement In Graham county. Reports from Clifton and Morenci tell us that all the mining enterprises affected by the recent strike are now in full operation and have all the men they need The daily production of copper now Is back to fhe usual amount that was be ing tuned out before the izbor trouble.
 The great majority of strikers were Mexicars- As soon as the agitstors who had been deluding them were ar. rested and locked up, and these Mex jeans began to consider where they could go and secure work at better wages than the companies st Clifton and Morenci were paying, they found that such a place could not be found When they learned what Mexican labor was being paid at El Paso. along the Southern Pacific railroad and in the mining camps of Sonora, where it is employed. they found out that they were being offered more at Mo renci and Cliff on than they could se cure for their labor elsewhere. About the best wage paid for Mexican labor anywhere outside of Clifton and Mo renci in this section of the country is at Caranea. and tine best figure there for miners is s2.cn per day, Mex ean money: st Fl Tfgre mine the highest wage is s2.Co. while. at Naco zsrf Mex7cans are paid S225. Or ra Tread work fn Mexico the wage is szJoO. Mexican money is only wor.h 20 cents, 50 the Mexicans in the Clifton Morenci district are receiving the top price. and no doubt in the flu ture will be willing to let well enough alone.
 Notwithstanding the fact that Ora. ham county has made no great record in improvements during the past year stil its assessment roll, now just completed, gives most gratifying re suit. The increase shows that despitn the most unfavorabie conditions of last year. there has been substantial advancement. The present year gives promise of something better especially to our farmers, who were confronted last year with the most serious drouih condition in the history Of the country. Water has been plentiful this year. and no serious shortage is anticipated during the sea son There was some loss to the grain in the valley from the ravages of the bug pest, but the increased price now offered for 1t over the figure received last year will more than make up for this loss. while the increased quantities of hay produced this year will partially make good for the ruling price.
 As long as the copper production at Clifton and Morenci continues to be i what 1t now is. and the water con- tinues to flow down the Gila river as 1t has in the past. the farmers of the Gila valley will be prosperous. There Is not an agricultural valley to be found in the country more productive, and those who have secured land and homes here should consider them selves to be among the most forum ate. Much of the talk of hard times In Graham county Is not warranted by existing conditions. Graham county is prosperous; this is shown by every recorded statistic bearing on our in dustriai condition. The assessment roll of the county shows an increased valuation of nearly half a million for the past year; the banks show more money on deposit from individuals than they could ever show before. and our county records show nothing alarming or unusual in the way of 
 Sheriff Parks Returns.
 Sheriff Parks returned from Mo renci on Sunday last. He had been at the "seat of war" since the frat of the strike. and the record he made as a cool, fearless oficer during the trouble Is known throughout the ter ritory. We note in nearly all the newspapers complimen' ary references to his work as an officer In command of body of men at trying moment Graham county is congra uiatei on all hands on having such an eficie,. sheriff. Mir. Parks says that every thing Is quiet now in the ecst end. No more trouble is expected. though at least two companies of United States regulars. one from Fort Apache and one from Fort Wingate viii be camped In Morenci for some months. It Is thought that their presence VII be beneficial in keeping down any trouble that might arise. Mrs- Parks was with her husband ail the while. showing the spirit of the true heroine. She accompanied him home. 4
