 As MT George has not been away from Minas prietas for about year, he was at a loss t9 account for the use of his name in the way set fortb above, but later he learned that man who was at the big gold camp last year has been personatitg him in various cities in the east, and posing as wealthy miner.
 But Dhe funny part of tbe proceed ing has been the deluge of letters with which MT. George has been been flooded by amoro0s and ambitious Americans who see here an oppor- tunity for "fonndiug fasnily'' all the same as the Frontier; Fronterizo in Tucson. Thinking the letters would make interesting reading Mir. George has handed them to THE OASIS, and number of them are presented here, as samples Of the batch cf which there are some forty of more. They are copied verbatim, with the excep- tion that the initials of the writers are given instead of their full names
 The first one is from St. Louis and the writer encloses a business card which shows he is q partner in a busi- ness house in that city. It. reads as follows:
