A special to the Daily Chronicle from San Diego. dated April 24th, says:
 'The visit of Senator Henry M Teller and Mayor Hal Sayre of Den yer, though very short was indies tive of the beginning of one of the largest irrigation enterprises in the history of the world.
 The gentlemen arrived Saturday night and met Judge D. 0. Collier, lifelong friend of both, who took them to Sweetwater dam to settle certain problems in engineering they have encountered in similar work in Colorado. They visited Coronado and left this morning for the north.
 On their way to this city Messrs. Teller and Sayre stopped five days at Yuma, investigating thoroughly the Colorado river and it's bottom lands on either side and section where 1t is proposed to divert the waters of the Colorado into the desert.
 Major Sayre is an engineer of the highest standing and capitalist and man of influence as well. He is treating witE the Colorado River Irri- gation Company to become interested in its project. which is no less than the reclamation of the entire eastern section of San Diego county, compris- ing the Colorado desert south of the San Bernardino range.
 Senator Teller is the authority for the statement that Major Sayre will become identified with the company, in which event he will direct it's operations. The Senator disclaims any personal interest in the enterprise and 1t is not probable that his name will be connected with it, as the land to be reclaimed belongs to the Government.
 Articles of incorporation of the Col orado river Irrigation Company are on record in the Recorders office of this county. The company will operate in California, Arizona, Sonora (Mexico) and Lower California, and is organized to carry on general Irri- gation business, to construct, acquire, maintain and manage docks, to main tain and improve harbors, wharves, ect., and to construct, acquire and maintain railroads. is incorporated | for twenty years. 0. H. Dow is president and Frank A. Miller secre- tary. The directors are Samuel N. Wood, Charles H. Dow, Finis P. Earnest, Frank A. Miller, Frank Church, James H. Brown and Charles Kittridge of Denver; James N. Carlisle os Pueblo, Col, and John 0 Beatty of Galveston, Tex. The capital stock of the company is $7, ,5O0,, 1 900, in shares of $50 each"
 In reference to the above; the cor of the Chronicle is in error. It is not in the interest of the Col orado canal across the river that Senator Teller and Mayor Sayre came to Yuma, and spent five days, but in the interest of the Colorado River Irrigation Company, represented here by Capt. Frank s. Ingalls, as presi- dent, Harry Carpenter as secretary and superintendent and Earl B. Coe of Denver as Treasurer. With these gentlemen are associated Coe Bros. and E. L. Freeman of Denver, the well-known capitalists, and Judge E. M Sanford, the well-known at torney of Prescott. The whole time of Senator Teller and his party was devoted to careful examination of the magnificent Algodones ranch, just given to the company by the 
 Court of Private Land Claims, and 5he famous Sanford farm. Mai. Tom Dawson, Senator Teller'5 Private Secretary, is now stopping at the Sanford farm. Such errors mislead he public, and for this reason we ,all the attention of our readers to he facts.
