CAR SHORTAGE CAUSES
LACK OF PRODUCTION
Output of GoIdfield Mines Falls Con-
slderably Below Preceding Week.
No Uneasiness Felt by
Operators
BY Associated Press.

| BY Associated Press.
GOLDFIELD, New, July 26-The out.
put of the mines and leases of the Gold
field district for the week ending last
night was considerably below that of the
preceding week.
The value of the ore shipped and treated
the figures of the previous week, the
total tonnage being 3142 tons and the
total value of the ore $S45250.
There are several explanations for the
apparent falling off in production, but
the principal reason was the car shortage
that prevented some of the shippers from
sending out ore to the smelters and re-
duction plants that can be reached by
rail only.
The Mohawk succeeded in getting two
shipments off, but no other ore was
handled out of the city
Another fact that contributed to keep
down the value of the output was the
treating of large quantity of low grade
rock at the combination mill.
The Combination is taking out a great
deal of low grade ore in the progress of
development and this is being treated as
1t comes from the mine, the higher grade
rock being left for future handling.

BOMB THR0WER TRIES
TO WRECK RESIDENCE
Hurls SteeI-Cased Internal Machine
at Home of Professional Operator
of Chicago Gambling
Houses

BY Associated Press,
CHICAGO July 26-An attempt to
blow up the residence of Monte Tennes
an alleged professional operator of gam
bling houses, was made last night by
some person unknown to the police. The
miscreant was armed with a steel cased
bomb.
Five days ago similar attempt was
made to dynamite the saloon operated by
former State Senator John F. OMalley.
This case had been kept secret.
Both attacks, barren of serious results,
were in other respects similar to that re-
Gently made upon the residence of
Blind john Condor, an assistant of
Tennes.
At that time the front of Condons IL
brary was blown out and the lives of the
occupants of the house were only saved
| by the fact that they were in a back
| room at the time.
| The whole series of incidents is said to
grow out of jealousy between warning
factions of gamblers and of efforts on
the part of partisans of the opposition
to frighten the men thus attacked.
Does Little Damage
In the attack last night on Tennes'
house the bomb exploded in a stone paved
alley in the rear of Tennes' garage,
which contained a new $4,000 automobile.
but it did no further damage than that
of tearing a hole eight inches deep in the
alley, breaking four windows in the
Tennes house and splitting a plank eight
inches thick in two.
The concussion shook the entire neigh
borhood and pieces of steel from the
casing of the bomb were scattered over
the premises.
The police searched the neighborhood
for traces of the bomb thrower, but up to
an early hour today had not found him.
The attempt against OMalley's saloon
occurred during the night last Saturday.
Some person gained access to the base
ment and placed there a stick of dyna-
mite in which was attached time fuse.
The explosion followed, and that the
engineer, who was in another part of the
basement, was not injured, was credited
to the fact that the force of the explo-
sion was expended in another direction.
Only a dog was killed and no serious
damage was done to the building.
