LOOKS LIKE BUSINESS.

Capt. VIM. Kelly, who holds the
position OF secretary of the Chatfield
Irrigation Company, informs The
HERALD that he received a letter re-
Gently from Lieut.. w. III. Chatfeld,
president of the company, saying
that he was negotiating with some
capitalists with a view to interest
them in the project OF the irrigation
company, and had cause to hope for
success. This morning a telegram
was received by Capt. Kelly from
the president calling a meeting of
the incorporators Of the company to
be held on March =, in this city.
Notice of this meeting is published
elsewhere in this evenings HERALD.
The natural Inference is that the
presidenthas succeeded in interesting
the necessary capital TO carry out the
undertaking and he is coming to lay
the matter before the company. Tkis
is most encouraging news, as the &C
complishment of the plans of the
Chatfield company, which include a
system of irrigation extending from
above Rio Grande City some dis
tInce below Brownsville, will insure
the speedy development Of the vast
resources OF this fertile region.
