first explosion was caused by a naked"
flame coming in contact with gas.
Flames leaped from the drift mouth,
and set fire to everything in reach
that was not blown from harms way
by the explosion.
The great drum by which the load
ed cars are run from the drift mouth
down the incline to the tipple and the
empties drawn up. was blown from it's
moo1N1gs and down the mountain side
600 feet while the drum house caught
fire and was consumed. The cars
standing at the mouth of the mine
were blown far down toward the tip
pie and much Of the track Of the in
cline was destroyed. The rails were
twisted and the cross ties were whip
ped from their beds in the ballast and
sent, scorched and charred, many yards
away. The big fan that furnished air
in the mine was SO badly damaged
that it was several hours before II
could be started again.
The great fan was repaired| and 1T
began drawing 100000 cubic feet OF air
thru the charnel house each minute.
A rescue party of twenty men entered
the mine in search of the bodies OF
those who had persisted at the frst
explosion. The men explored the mines
for two or three hours, putting up
brattices so that pure air should follow
them wherever they went.
Finally six of them came out and re-
ported that the other fourteen We're

air was supplied, carrying at the same
time . "naked" light. Soon after an
other awful explosion occurred ana

BORING DEEP FOR OIL IN
SANTA BARBARA COUNTY
Drills Cutting Through Pure Asphalt
Stratum Believed to Be
Thousand Feet Thick
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
SANTA BARBARA, May 23.-In Car
pinteria, upon the Higgins ranch. a
systematic attempt is being made to
reach an oil stratum that is believed
to- lie at great depth. The Columbian
Oil and Asphalt company, which oper-
ated extensively in the valley some
time ago, is making the experiment and
will send it's well down to a depth of
5000 feet before giving up it's quest. The
well is now down to a depth of 14OO
feet, with a casing of twelve and one
half inches.
The drills are working through a
stratum of asphalt that will probably
be found to be over 1000 feet through,
is pure and exists in apparently un-
limited quantities.
The Pacific Coast Oil company has
secured the necessary right of way for
the pipe lines to be constructed by it
through this county.

The beach here from the pier to

and contractor Richard Lyons, who
owns the wood, is busy trying to collect
it. The steam barge Northland arrived
here from San Francisco this morning
carrying over 100000 feet of lumber to
be used in building the foundation of
the new convention hall. The barge
could not make a good landing On
account of the swell and it was decided
to throw the lumber overheard. This
work was started from a station q
few hundred yards east of the pier, but
when the lumber was set loose it began
to drift down towards Alamitos and
hardly any two sticks of it came ashore
in the same place. The contract for
the superstructure, which was declined
by Rommel G. Son has been awarded
to George Beard, who bid $26,OO0 for the
work.
