A TUNNEL A LIME KILN.
THE SANTA FE MAY HAVE TO ABANDON ITS JOHNSON CANYON ROUTE.
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.
