1t is understood that Mr.. Belts is to

by Charles NJ. Shannon, internal reve

Mexico under the last democratic ad-
proves incorrect. From
recent private advices the Bisbee Orb
learns that only provisional sale has
been made pending further develop
ment CT the property, and the prize
agreed upon is considerably less than
half a million dollars. although if the
properly was more advantage
that price could not be con-
5ideTed at all excessive. The terms of
the agreement referred to provide for
a very considerable payment in six
months and TIE balance in one year.
Meanwhile the proposed purchasers are
to dc development work on a some
what extensive scale, any ore thus ex-
tracted to remain on the mine till the
termination CT the agreement. The
parties contemplating the purchase are
men controlling unlimited cap +
taI and from the past history Of the
Shannon mine as well as that of tle
Metcalf group adjoining it and being
worked on a very large scale by the
Arizona Copper company, it would aD-
GEAR that the sale is reasonably as
5ured.
