ACTING MAYOR IS
REFUSED PAPERS
CITY CLERK WILL NOT SEND
UP ORDINANCES
CLASH BETWEEN OFFICIALS
Summerland Demands That the city's
Business Be Not Delayed.
"Friend of MeAleer" Men,
toned In Controversy

Il will send the ordinances passed by
the council last Monday up to the
mayors office after have signed them
myself and when everything is ready"
declared City Clerk Lelande i'm answer
to Acting Mayor Summerland's request
yesterday morning for the ordinances.
Some important business was trans
and among the ordinances passed was
the now famous building ordinance
which has been hanging fire for so
many months. Many contractors in
Los Angeles are holding up their work
because they can not proceed until the
ordinance in question is settled. other
minor ordinances were also adopted
unanimously by the city's legislative
body and the councilmen desire that
these measures should become effective
Immediately.
The city clerk, however, refuses to
certify to the adoption of the ordi-
nances and send them to the mayor for
approval.
City Clerks Explanation
The reason given by the city clerk
for such action is that friend of
Mayor McAleer's had come to him with
the request, purporting to come from
the absent mayor, that no ordinances
be sent to Acting Mayor Summerland,
but that all should he held until Mr..
McAleer's return.
Having failed to receive the ordi
nances and knowing the public need of
immediate action, Acting Mayor Sum-
merland in company with Clerk Nc
Keag, called upon City Clerk Lelande
and asked him for the ordinances. The
request was refused. Mayor Summer
land then demanded to know If Mr..
McAleer had left orders that all ordi-
nances should be held up until his re-
turn Lelande denied this and said
that a friend of the mayor had made
the request that the ordinances should
be held.
Mayor Summerland glared at the
city clerk and again demanded the or
dinances. Lelande refused, and, turn
lllS lelI lHe dCIlIlS lllelyOl Ill pOSSS79iOAi
of the clerks office.
Councilmen are considerably agitated
over what they term a discourtesy to
their president and demand what a
friend of McAleer's" has to do with
the city government and why he should
be considered sufficient authority to
warrant the holding up of public bust
ness.
City Clerk Lelande says that the or
dinances will be sent up to the mayors
office Friday or Saturday, and that he
will not sign them any sooner. He
also stated that he preferred to hold
them until the return of Mayor Nc
Aleer to the city.

Canadians have a fondness for abbre-

Hotel clerks say authorizations of
cities by tourists, although used to a

FEW DEATHS IN THAT REGION

"Bullfrog Winner" and Sassy Sal"
were names of Nevada gold mines
heard all day yesterday at the office
of the Laclede Brokerage company in
the Hellman building, with January"
Jones, the lucky millionaire mine
owner, in the center of the groups of
callers who gathered to learn all about
the new Eldorado from the man who
was among the first on the ground
at Goldfield and at Bullfrog.
Mr.. Jones is one of the most unassum-
ing money kings in the west. He is
when asked if the rosy stories of rich
deposits in the Nevada districts were
true, he smiled and said he could
hardly find words expressive enough
to tell the story. He says he believes
most persons are inclined to be in
credulous, but he said the facts are
that scores of huge fortunes will be
the result of the development of the
claims. Rich strikes are being made
every day, and experts are clamoring
many
of the properties.
Goldfield a City
Goldfield is now a bustling place of
$1,000 inhabitants, and Bullfrog and
other towns near by are growing rap
idly. Mr.. Jones remembers when the
few people at Goldfield used to go 20
Tonopah for fun. Now Tonopah people
come to Goldfeld for real sport. A
line of automobiles connects all the
mountain towns. Sometimes accidents
occur. "Borax King" Smith rode into
Bullfrog in a big auto. The machine
went wrong and Smith had to go back
on a mule.
Mr.. Jones left last evening for San
Francisco on important business con-
nected with mining property. He will
go thence to Goldheld. 1t is his pur.
pose to pay frequent visits to Los
Angeles.
When asked about the death rate
in the mining camps, Mr.. Jones said
that there had been only forty deaths
in nine months. Those who died he
said were chiefly sickly men whc
should not have gone into the new
country. The deaths were also attrlb-
uted to the carelessness of a certain
class of men who frequent steamine
hot saloons, get drunk, go to theil
tents and drop down on the GROUND
to fall asleep without covering. As
consequence they contract severe
colds which develop into pneumonia
and end in death. Only one woman
has died in the districts since the rush
began,

their authority. The native dialects
were encouraged, and the result is that
the majority Of the literates can read
