The compositional dependence of bismuth iron oxides and effect of La-substitutions in the structure of $BiFeO_3$ compounds were investigated, which compounds were synthesized by conventional ceramic processing. It is shown that some of bismuth iron oxides including $BiFeO_3$ show the narrow single phase region. The effect of La-doping in $BiFeO_3$ was presented as disappearance of many impurity phases of Bi-Fe-O compounds. The lower electrical resistivity was obtained as those compositions of Fe deficient region and La-doped $BiFeO_3$. The saturation magnetization of La-doped $BiFeO_3$ was increased with La content. The dielectric dispersion was also observed for those Bi-Fe-O compounds with Fe deficient and La-doped $BiFeO_3$ at low frequencies under 1 kHz.
