SAN BERGARDiE0 IRRIGATION
How the Hand of Mcn Has OtiLzs0
Natures Advantages to Reclaim
tie SOIL

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, April g.
In Southern Califo mia water is king Just
as cotton was once monarch of the South
ern States Up the mountains nortn OF
San Bernardino nature has prepared ex-
tensive watersheds, and over these the
rainfall ana snowfall is in some years
enormous, while in the fertile valleys the
precipitation is very small in comparison.
To meet the demand for irrigation on the
iowIands the great Bear Valley system of
irrigation was established far up in the
mountains overlooking the city OF Red
lands. with its famed orange grounds.
Immediately north Of San Bernardo no
nature has provided watersheds, reser-
voirs and dam sites which invite man to
com plete an irrigation system that shall
not be excelied anywhere in the world.
To effect tnis the Arrowhead Reservoir
Company was organized some years ago
and the hand of capital has slowly but
surely supplemented nature In transform
ing the mountain wilds into mighty
basins for the impounding OF water. The
com pany is composed OF Cincin aati cap
itailsts. While they are a corporation
they have issued no bonds and contract
no Indebtedness.
To ascertain the exact precipitation IN

snowstorm is noted and measured. Each
reservoir Will be cleared OF ali vegetable
growth in order that the water may be
suitable for domestic use as well as for
irrigating purposes The main part OF
| the work so far has been the driving OF
tunnels from the first to the second and
from the second TO tine third reservoir.
The tunnels go through solid rock and
are large and perfect in their construc-
ton.
All the watersheds and reservoirs are
on the farther side of the mountains, and,
of course, the water is wanted on this
SIDE. a system OF tunnels and canyons
conducts the water through the mountains
TO the San Bernardino side. The point
where the water debouches from the
mountain is a a great elevation above
the valley. Here a mighty force will
generate electricity and supply power for
manufacturing and other purposes. The
water will be conveyed in bitches. fumes
and pipes TO ali parts OF the valley and
even as far as Pomona, Pasadena and Los
Angeles
During the present season the com pany
will enter upon the work OF building the
dams and by the year 1898 will DOUBTLESS
have completed the most perfect reservoir
system for irrigation in California.

The Umpqua Valley, though not so

Los ANGELES. CAL. April 9.-Mana-
ger Nevin OF the Santa Fe has made big

ing that oil had been struck at a depth OF

fifty barrels day.
This discovery is expected TO be the FORE
runner OF others. Mr.. Nevin believes that
an oil belt exists at Fullerton, and that at
least dozen wells will soon be flo wing on
the company's land there. Ii this is a
fact the Santa Fe will probably equip all
OF Its engines with oil burners. The COM
