6. Q. p. NAMES SMELL FOR THE
 SPEAKERSHIP
New York Defeats Tilsor After Hot Fight-Lead-
 ership in Question

WASHINGTON Nov. 30-Bert- rand H. Shell of New York, former Chairman of the powerful Rules Committee, was today nominated for Speaker by the Republican Conference of House members, de- feating John o. Tilson of Con- necticut, Republican floor leader in the last House, on the seventh ballot. The final vote was Shell 96 and Tilson GA. Shell lacked one vote of having majority, but the election of Shell was conceded. The contest was hot and the bal loting spirited.
 About twenty Republicans failed to attend the conference. The smallness of the conference became evident this morning as the thin ned ranks converged toward the House chamber. The meeting took place behind locked and guarded doors. It was the belief in the beginning that the contest for Re- publican leadership was at stake and that the choice lay between Shell and Tilson.
 Shell will lead the Republicans next Monday in a contest against the Democratic majority. It is con- ceded that Representative John N. Garner of Texas will be the next Speaker and, probably, Represen- tative Henry T. Rainey of Illi- nois will be the majority floor leader.
 TilsOn Led in Beginning
 After the seventh ballot in which Shell led Tilson by 32 votes and was within one vote of majority over all, Tilson moved that his be unanimous.
 Tilson led in the first two bal lots, Shell overcoming the lead when State delegations gave up nope for favorite sons.
 The Republicans now have question before them as to whether or not Shells nomination for Speak CT will carry with it the minority leadership against the Democratic if the latter organizes the House. Tilson maintains since he was named for floor leader at 8 House Conference in February he would retain the post.

FEELS CERTAIN ABOUT
 REOPENING HURRAH MINE

MT. Tom T. Lane who returned to the Nome mining section on the first trip of the steamer Der play th's spring, in an interview states that he has completed his examination of the Hurrah quartz mine and has found the shaft in good condition and the plant in good shape and easy to put in first class condition.
 MT. Lane also states that the mine produced S500,00O in bull ion: that their is s200,000 recov- erable in the tailings with i'm proved machinery, and as soon as the mine is renovated that there is $3OO,O00 worth of ore ready to be broken and another 75,ooO tons of ore can be opened in 90 days, with probably $1,0O0,00o net above the cost. He further says that the tailings will net over S1OO,OOO: that the last crushing of ore yielded more money than in previous periods.
 The mine, he states, was closed down due to family differences and dispute over control. and that in order to open the property it will be necessary to obtain the support of Nome citizens and bus mess men.
 MT. Lane further says that he has located 26 lode claims and proposes to form four companies to sell stock in various cities, and is going to offer the people oi Nome chance to get in on the ground floor at the start of the fina ncing.
 He says he feels certain that he can raise S300.000 to open up the quartz district, and can by judicious advertising in the min ing regions and camps outside, induce few hundred quartz
