NEGOTIATIONS FOR
 Fl VAN SALE STOP
Proposed French Syndicate De. sired Two Months Exten-
 sion Which Was Refused

The expected sale of Fl Van. the six months old property adjacent ia the rich Pilares. is on. for the pres. ent at least. even if not definitely.
 1t was firmly anticipated that this sale would go through for the expert sent by the agents or representative of the proposed purchasers turned in very glowing report on the prop erty. The consideration was to have been half million in gold.
 R. l.. Van Dusen. chief owner cf the property, was in the city yester. day and gave the facts to the Review. He states that Fritz Kohlmeyer. his partner, wrote. .him from San Fran cisco that the sale seemed certain, but that later it developed that a further extension of two months on the option was wanted. and this he refused to grant without a substan- tial payment on account This not being forthcoming, Van Dusen wired to kohlmeyer to return home and drop further negotiations. The pro posed purchasers were said to be d French 1yndicate represented by ? San Francisco party.
 The work on the Fl Van was first started in December last. and with the exception of three or four weeks soon after the commencement has continued steadily ever since. In the little more than five months of development over 1900 feet of work has been done on this property.

North Butte, Copper Range, Superior and Pittsbu-g, Butte Coalition and Amalgamated were the features of the copper list. The curb stocks failed to show any particular, actlv ity, but would advise the buying of Live Oaks and Cactus. due to the fact that they are development com panies and have very low capitaii zadon.

chiricahaus To the Front.

" kiC fISrh1
 As has been predicted by the min. ing contributor of the Bisbee Daily Review. it would appears that the mining situation in the Chiricahaus has at last materialized in substan- tial form, and that the hour of de liyerance is finally at hand
 It has been the surprise of many mining men for years that the Par adise or California district has never developed a substantial producer. Many chloride enterprises have been well rewarded in that district A small experimental concentrator had been installed on the Cochise, for. merly the Davis property. The Say. age had demonstrated that it had q mine years ago. Walker and My CTS and others have repeatedly prov en the merits of the district by ship. ping operations.
 The Chiricahua Consolidated had blocked the prospects of the. camp by peculiar work and engineering but now R. D. Hall, one of the oldest res idents of the Chiricahuas and a man well informed in the real situation. has associated himself with men of capital and declares the Chiricahua ulstFlct IS prepared to demonstTdte immediately that it is second to none in the territory as a dividend camp. This will require time, of course, but he insists that in view of present conditions and past development, the promoters of the respective proper ties in the district have a right to expect such a result.

DIVIDEND EARNING
 C0PPERS ARE BEST

The people are beginning to dis criminate in favor of those concerns which can earn fair dividends eveis when the metal is selling below a shilling. In the past there has been a great booming of stocks due to the location of the property with refer. ence to some other property. You will observe that this plan is still be- ing followed by enterprising special ists in the copper brokerage lines. In enc camp things are close to Anal gamated or North Butte, in another they closely lie to Copper Queen or Calumet & Arizona; in another they are in the vicinity of Miami, in an other near Giroux. Cumberland Ely. or Nevada Consolidated; in another to Greene Cananea. The value of good associations is not overlooked by the promoters of new concerns who expect to make their money from the sale U; claims and shares. and who care very little for the development of the shafts and drifts.
 It is still a good rule to look close ly into the men connected with these enterprises. It doesn't naturally fol- low that because a man has run a liv- cry stable or bank that he will make a good mine manager. There's too much livery stable in many of the new quotations. It will pay the man with modest surplus to go slowly in placing it with those who have some thing as good as Calumet & Hecla It il be wise to steer clear of those prop critics located in low-grade formations. with ores difficult of treatment and with management sending out news claiming big additions of rich ground. There are many legiti- mate ventures deserving support and schemes calculated to sep arate you from your money regardless of your feelings.
 It will pay you well to take a good long look before putting your money in. It is your money, and you can do with it as you will, but it is much and healthier to win than to lose. There's a lot of dope being circulated just now telling you what to do with your cash, but it will be much better to let it lie idle than to put it into the wroag thing.-Iron Ore
