WEEDIN ON CROOK.

Tom Woedin, who was introduced to the General last winter by great man of Press cott-a regular henchman to the General gets of the following:
 According to the latest dispatches it would appear that Geronimo and his band of jolly murderers, m under the protection of that brilliant s.rategist. Crook, are back in Arizors,, making 1t quite interesting for the settlers in the southern portion of the sca!ps to the alreaoy long string that dsngles from their belts. But 1t is more than likely that these men provoked the Indians be- in their possession. ani they killed them merely to get the arms, ride Crooks report. 1t must be so very satisfying to 3 man to know tha: he is being killed for the purpose of being disarnled, thus preventing acci- dents. and also to verify the theory of that great and good nan, General Q Crook. Bat Gernimo is not to be blamed for coming tack, as it is evident from his appearance on our soil that his customary diet of bugs and grasshoppers is scarce iu the Sierra Madre, and he wishes to get back to the reservation, where such food is plenty. The guarding of water holes on the frontier by the troops, said water holes being mllss apart, to prevent the return of the Indians, while an elaborate campaign was being organized, was truly brilliant stroke of genins, for which Crook should be given sugar teat as reward; and when the Indians are once more at home they should get upa memorial to their savior in the shape of a choice set of ornamental water holes. There is not much question but that the Indians will soon be back on the reservation, where they vii! be pro tected an6 fattene3 up for their next bi- ennial pic,,c, when we will again be treated to tue amusing spectacle of men being mur. dered and tortured to death, women out ragged and mutilated, and little children hung up on meat hooks, there to slowly perish"
 The MINER is tempted to add: If Gen. Or ook was x coarse-haired secessionist from the swamps of Louisiana. with . black stripe down his back, how great . man he would be. We cannot see any impropriety in keeping the troops near the water holes, for they are living this summer in . warm climate. The Verde water Is bsd and psr- haps 1t would benefit the troops of that post, 50 much needed(D to allow them te drink from water holes Tn Southern Arizona as there are from two to three hundre such holes that are mt guardeo by Uncle ! Ssm's troops and are only utilized by 0e- ronimo and his warriors.
