STATEMENT OF DIR. MIX.
to say for Himself and what his Friends say for Him.

The dispatches from GuaymHs leave
 us to draw the inference that we hay,
 been held responsible for certain state
 ments ID regard to the yellow fever, ana
 We VIII say here that We have nevel
 published anything from Gusymas but
 what was general news, contrary to the
 Tact that Doctor Mix intiIa8te= that Vt
 have. We kuew Doctor Mix for many
 years Tn California, and our experience
 with hlm has been that he IS a mlsera-
 Ole drunken bum, who like every other Tool who goes to Sonora expects to i'm pose upon the people and make them think he IS an American Doctor" Mix torgets that there are several little things which he should have settled in Bakersfield, California. and he seems to be under the impression that We don't know hlm, but he's a whole lot mistaken | We knew him in California and m Altar, Sonora, and We knew him in Guaymas as fraud, and We distinctly want 1t understood that we knew him to pur- chsse Buchanan diploma in PhIladel- pblR. We denounce him as a fraud, a charlatan, man without principle, a man who would sell his soul for the al- mighty dollar, and we think that Sono- ra would do well to get rid of an in- cubus that has fastened itself upon the people ot that country, knowing that he could not possibly be recognized among the civilized people of the world-Star of the 22d inst

 EDITOR TUCsoN CITIzEN:-Not having received from the article enclosed, any intimstion of who is the author, am of course forced to the conclusion that L. C. Hughes IS the author and responsible. That he or any enc has known me for years Tn California or elsewhere is not strange, as l have lived on this coast since August, lS49. As regards his ex- perlence of me, have in all casea paid for what purchased. As regards those | fools who go to Sonora, I know nothing Of them. He has been here and treated with respect and attention by the peo- pie. As regards my Bakersfield exper- | fence the certificate winch I enclose proves him to have uttered base and falsehood. I have not been Tn Altar, Sonora, since June, lS49. then en route to California, and have never held or claimed to hold q diploma from any northern college. but do claim to be entitled to a duplicate diploma from the Louisiana Medical College of New Orleans, where I was raised. The very protuse advice to Sonora as to what to do with me and as regards my talents or my pretenslons, 1 treat with the contempt they merit. Later Guay- mas residents will say over their sigma lures what Is their opinion. The above IS written under the impression that the editors of said paper are cognizant of and endorse the two slanderous notices ot me. l am, however, informed by some parties here that they no doubt emRnate Mir. Oakley, man who forged Sam Brannan's signature, was convicted md served several months here in jaii vas liberated by Carlos Ortlz, and skip ped out of the country. IT this misera- ole convict Is the author, have nothing o answer to him, ss I never waste pow Ter on such eansile. Yours, etc,
 4. A. MIX. The following certificate was also for gsrded by Dr. Mix, which shows how he tood at Bakersfield. The paper IS with ut date, but seems to have been filled ut and signed prior to his settlement in fuaymas. It looks very much as though { he Star had done injustice to Dr. Mix:
