 SAN FRASc1sco, November 2Oth.-
 A few moments bsfo-e F o'clock
 on Tuesday last.a terrific explosion
 occurred in Tunnel No. 3, near
 Wright's station, Santa Cruz county,
 by which twentyfour Chinaman
 lost their lives and as many more
 were badly wounded. It appears
 that blast had been prepared and q
 fire lighted, when, with a roar
 and shock that shook the mountain
 from base to summit, an explosion
 of gas occurred. The shock and noise aroused the camp, and before they could be stopped, the Chinese, twenty in number, rushed into the tunnel to rescue their cOuntrymen. i They had penetrated about 1900 feet from the entrance of the tunnel, when a second report, louder ard more in- tense than the first again shook the earth, and wrecked the engine house and sheds within hundred feet of inc entrance. The explosion was followed by sheet of lurid flama, which consumed everything before It i The engine which ran the blower, | that supplied the air for the work | men was blown out of the tunnel, 1 and the group of workmen at the mouth of the tunnel were more or less injured. The fireman who was standing in the engine house was blown @ feet and on the side of hill, 30 feet above the engine house. One of the Chinamen who was badly burned, ended his suffering by chok- ing himself with a handkerchief About eight months ago an cxplo- sion occurred in this tunnel by winch 13 men lost their lives and from the same cause. ID July last the gas be- came igniled and burned for two weeks without cessation. The tun nel passes through the center of the oil regions of the Santa Cruz noun tains, and the theory is that in mak- ing the giant powder blasts, seams are opened which let the gas of the $ petroleum into the tunnel, thus nlak ing an explosion almost certain
