February 30 last he again appeared here, em- powered to pay down $100,000 and to negotiate the purchase for the price of $4,000,000, The three gentlemen Again considered came to the conclus- ion that the mino had increased in value and refueed to sell. “At that time,” said Colonel Turner last night, “we told him the lowest psice.we would take was $5,000,000, an the. following terms: $10,0000) down, $900,00:: in 30"days, $1,000,000 in another 30 days, and so on. “Since then we have heard nothing from him. If his people are prepar- ing to closé on that basis we know ‘ nothing of it. They have not indi- cated to us in any manner that they desired to purchase for that price. There is absolutely not one word of ,|¢rnth iw the dispatch, so far as we know. They have no option what- ever on the property.” “Would you sell for that price now?” “IE that price was offered to us to- morrow w3 might take it.
