(Regular rn-ti ff TUP. ST'V 1 Thrl animal meeting of the North Fork Water company took place in the Board of Trade rooms at San Bernardino this afternoon, and there1 was a lively over the superimenJ-ency end zanjero jobs, which have been held for years by G. V. Cadwal-lader. The president pro tern.

Dr. A. P. Williamson, presided, and soon after the meeting was called to orcer a motion was made to have the offices of superintendent and zanjero separated, but before the motion was put it was found that there was no provision for a zanjero, and so the matter was not voted upon. In view of the fact that there had been some who had occasion to question the ability of the zanjero.

there being some who said that where he only brought down 1200 inches of water in the flumes, instead cf 1500 inches, a motion was made that the stockholders give Mr. Cadwallader a vote, of confidence. This motion broutht out a contest, w'f ch was vprv livelr ntiit nftip rnrttiin in lnv it on the table had been voted down, the original motion was passed. The election of a board of directors then followed, which resulted: A. E.

Frye, George Miller, F. L. Cram, A. E. Sterling, Dr.

A. P. Williamson, V. S. Corwin and W.

E. Nye. After the meeting had adjourned the directors got together and organized by electing A. E. Frye president, George Miller vice president, W.

S. Boggs secretary, the California State bank treasurer, and G. V. Cadwallader superintendent, the latter position to carry' a salary of $11S0 per year. The directors then- took up the question of fixing the company's flume over Plunge creek, which the superintendent stated, owing to its poor condition, was the reason of his inability to carry but 1200 inches of waste water, instead of 1500.

The board decided to visit the flume and make arrangements to put it ia proper condition.

BARSTOW, Match 2S. (Regular correspondence of THE, SL'N.) A company has jus: been iuccrporated to bore for oil about ten miles north of Barstow.

Members are wealthy Pasadena and Barstow men. The company will be known as the Pasa-dena-Barstow Oil Producing company, with R. Slayden presfdent; 0. Lowell, vice-president, and Don Fer guson treasurer. The company has incorporated for $500,000, and already enough stock has been subscribed for to begin operations.

A standard rig will be on the ground in a few weeks, and active operations will begin. This is the third attempt to find oil in this se'etion; one company, known as the Kramer Consolidated I uu company, lias gone down to a great depth, but men who claim to know say that this company is out of the belt, which extends from Black's canyon, which extends in a southeasterly direction to a point near Daggett. The other company started to drill near Black's canyon, and after spending about $12,000 only got down less than 500 feet, owing to the Incompetency of the drill er a'nd the mismanagement of the head of the company. Parties work ing on this well claim that the indications were very fine; certainly the surface indications are fine, as the shale can be rubbed together and will emit a very strong odor of oil. Another company, composed of wealthy ladies from Pasadena and Ocean Park, is being formed to work some land near the Pusadena-Bar-sow company's proposed location.
