FIGHTING FIRE.
4 Hard Struggle With the Flames at Mount
TamalpaiS.

SAN RAFAEL. July 1.-Early last evening
1t was thought that the fire on Mount Tam
alpais was in fair way to be conquered
before this morning, but early this morning
breeze came up and in few minutes the
fire burst out in uncomfortable fury. 1t Is
said that fully 800 men are at work be-
tween the Bolinas Ridge and Mill Valley in
fEhting the flames. Last evening a crew
OF twenty-three men from the North Pa
cine Railroad force went to the summit Of
the hills back of Mill Valley and started to
back-fire the brush in that section. They
were successful IN turning the fire, which
soon spread toward the ocean. envel0ping
the redwood forest at Big Lagoon on the
coast road to BOlinas.
Another gang of men worked all night
back Of the residence of a. Z. Kent at
Tamapais. Several times the residence
was IN great danger tbs heat being so great
three OF the men were overcome and had to
be carried to Mr. Kents residence. This
morning the fire had crossed the ridg west
OF the Kent property and was swiftly
travelling toward COIte de NJ adera. The
force OF men were quickly transferred to
that point, and they wo rked like beavers,
succeeding in back-frng The chaparral and
leaving nothing but smoldering stumps at
that place.
About o'clock this afternoon word was
received here that tie Kent residence was
again in danger. THIS was thought i'm
probable, but at 5 o'clock mounted messen-
gers were securing the town in search of
men to go to Kents. and. on inquiry by
telephone, 1t was found that the report was
true and that the Kent residence was in
greater danger than last evening. The
smoldering trees and underbrush had again
started, aud. owing to the stiff breeze W hich
sprung up this afternoon, the fire gained
great headway. The dense forest back of
Ross Station was in flames, and the fire was
encroaching on the woods at Tamalpas Sta
ton. At o'clock this morning an extra
force Of ten men were telephoned for and
sent to kents. All the morning smoke
hung over San Rafael and a dense haze has
now settled over the town.
