LOS ANGELES, Cal., Jan. 31.--The Fairview tunnel through the mountains
at Johnson’s canyon, near Williams, Ariz., is again on fire and the
officials of the Santa Fe Pacific fear that they may be compelled to
abandon the tunnel, as they are at a loss to devise means to extinguish
the flames. Investigation shows conclusively that the new fire was
caused by spontaneous combustion. The tunnel is now nothing but the
flue for an immense lime kiln. The mountain through which the tunnel
passes is chiefly limestone of a high degree of purity.
