A London Times correspondent reports on the Mont Cenis tunnel progress from Bardonneche, estimating a length of 12,600 metres. The Sardinian parliament funds 8,000,000f yearly for 1857 to 1889, but actual expenditure is about half. Fears arise that deep tunnels lack air and heat control, risking workers before one third of the task is done due to ventilation challenges.
The engineers leading the Bardonneche tunnel project report using compressed air driven boring machines to speed excavation and provide fresh air. Initial tests began January 15, with five hydraulic compressors outside the tunnel, achieving about 40 centimetres of bore in five minutes. Despite delays from air pipe and valve failures, progress continued. by January 14 the tunnel extended 721 metres on that side, with 528 metres finished and 193 partly bored. Concerns remain over mephitic air and potential water infiltration from alpine lakes atop the mountain.
