 Tiyes.
 The Graham County Times has the following in relation to the newly ap- pointed Indian Agent at San Carlos:
 Judge ?. P. Wilcox arrived in Maxey late yesterday afternoon, direct from his home in Denver, and left for San Carlos this morning. Learning of the gentle mans arrival, representative of the ! Times made a call on him at his rooms | Tn the Graham House. The Judge IS Q 1 pleasant looking gentleman, of medium | night, rather spare build, and, We should l say, about forty-fiye years of age. On making known his errand, the Times man received a cordial grip of the hand and was bid to take seat. The Judge expressed some surprise at being inter viewed here, and when he was informed that two years ago Maxey contained less than J00 inhabitants he seemed amazed. He said that until he had visited the res eryation and mG-,l la investigation into the state of affairs there he could not state what changes would be made or give any details as to his policy. His appointment was a surprise to him. and was brought about abruptly. Some six weeks ago he visited Washington on prlvate business, and called on Secretary Teller, with whom he IS well acquainted. The Secretary immediately informed him that he had been selected for the position of Indian Agent at San Carlos. and that his name would be sent to the Senate the following day. Taken by surprise, he asked for time to consider the matter. Being pressed for an affirm ative answer by the Secretary, who stated that affairs out here were in q critical condition, and that he desired some one in the position of agent in whom he could place implicit confidence, ! he accepted the tender and was promptly ! confirmed.
 Previous to leaving Washington he 1 held consultation with the heads of the | InterIor and War Departments. The | two Secretaries are fully m accord in l regard to the proper course to be pur- sued in Arizona, and there will be no | clash of authority between them.
 Secretary Teller will recommend an appropriation of ten thousand dol lars in his annual report, to have new survey made of the entire reservation, the boundary lines to be properly de- fined and marked.
  to be protected, and they must remain Oh the reservation and behave themselves.
 Mir. Wilcox will remain at San Carlos four or five days, and will then return to Denver to settle up his affairs, prior to taking ap his residence in Arizona per manently. He will probably be settled Tn his new position about the second week in September, at winch time General Crook will also arrive and as- sume charge of military affairs. It IS probable that number of changes will be made Tn the subordinate offices at the Agency, as 1t is absolutely V necessary that the different positions under the agent shall be filed by men on whom he can depend for a proper and honest dis charge of their duties in order to have matters run smoothly.
 From a a gentleman at the Post, who knew Judge Wilcox at his home in Colorado. We learn that his fellow-citi- zens have at different times testified to their regard for him by his election to preside over the County and District Court. He served fOur years as United States Marshal of his adopted State, and fulfilled the duties of the office in very satisfactory manner.
