Crooks Men and Tactics Again .... Triumphant.
Surrender of 200 More Red Imps.

Surrender of 200 More Red Imps. That success and good luck still 20 hand l in hand with General Crook, his officers and soldiers, will be seen by the following. We, some time since, stated that Captain James Burns had started from Camp Date Creek, with some men of his company, c, of the Fifth Cavalry, some Walapai soldiers and Mir. Clarke ss guide, and we arc now en- abed to give the following account of the very hard but eminently successful scout of the commando
 Left Tyson's Well, June 30, at sunset, with twenty-four soldiers, eleven of whom were Wallapais. Made for Castle Dome mountains. An hour before daylight, the com Inand had marched forty miles. On reaching the mountains, white and red soldiers were sent into the hills to hunt for Apaches. The main command under Capt Burns, moved along the base of the mountain, through a canyon. About 10 a. m. on the morning of July first, Indian sign was observed. Soon trail was discovered, which was followed until sunset. The horses having been with out water for twenty four hours, the Cap. tain took some soldiers and started for New Water, when, by digging little, water was found. This was in the night, and having marched seventy miles without rest, the command was nearly worn out. Yet, the Captain believing there were Indians near by, sent some Wsllapais to find and "locate" them. The Wallapais succumbed to sleep and did not find any. No fires were built Daylight came, and four more Wallapais were sent out. Soon, thereafter, one of these re- turned and reported firing about two miles of Sergeant Hanlon (by order) took twelve mounted men; the Captain and eight men ran, on foot, in the direction of the firing After short run, two of the Wallapais who had been sent out, were discovered chasing Tour Indians. The other troops joined in the chase, firing as they went, killing one Indian and wounding several others, as was divined by the blood seen on the lava rocks, over . which the barbarians had retreated. The rancheria, with all its contents-blankets, arms, provisions, etc.,-fell into the hands of the troops, and was, we believe, destroyed. Ky the time this work was done, 1t was dark. The command hunted for the trail all night and until three o'clock next day, when Sergeant Hanlon and sixteen soldiers (white and red) were sent in the direction of Hawk ! Spring. The Captain and eighteen men , went to Laguna mountain, but found neither water nor Indians.
 Sergeant Hanlon found about four gallons } of water in Hawk springs also, sign which ! satisfied him that the wounded Indians had
 been there and washed their wounds. Search
 was made for them, but without success. Rejoining bis Captain, the command, think ing that the Indians might have gone to the Colorado reserve, the command left camp, on : the main road, at four o'clock p. m and by :; marching all night, made sixty miles, and the l reserve, early next morning. While going there, tracks of Indian women and children e were discovered. Leaving the reserve on the : morning of the Eth, the command struck for the santa Maria mountains, where, early on the morning of the 18th inst, it surprised and captured some fifty Indians. This haul was made about daylight. The Indians were taken by surprise; threw up their hands and begged for mercy. This capture was made , without firing a shot!
 - Upon arriving at Date Greek, Capt. Burns r found about 150 Indians, ,--tbe fellows he l. had been chasing in the Colorado river noun T. tains, They had made straight shute for e the place, and were quite meek upon seeing q their pursuers Many of these Indians were ,, armed with guns, which the Captain hss al- 'f ready taken from them. These Apaches will + soon be marched to the Verde reserve
 When we tell our readers that the weather
 was intensely hot, water scarce snd bad, and l. country very rough, they will be able to form II pretty correct opinion of the good, hard
 work, done by this gallant command. " ANOTHER SCOUT.
 d Lieut.. J. II. Hurst and command have ar. ie rived at Camp Beale Springs, after e rough B. trip in the country bordering Bill Williams g Fork. They marched about 260 miles, in II
 days; saw Indian sign, but came in contac,
 with no Indians.
 - These recent successes, with others, have caused our very reticent commanding General ' to issue the following thanksgiving proc D. lamation":
