CASH REGISTER
 BRANCH FOR JUNEAU
o-o

Emmet Harris, Alaska representa- tive of the National Cash Register Company, who arrived on the North western, says it is the intention of his company to establish an Alaska branch at Juneau, and he hopes to have it in operation some time next fall. Mir. Harris present trip to Alas is a hurried one, as he will have to be at Dayton, Ohio, in July to attend an international conference of cash register men and store system men from all parts of the world. While in the East at that time he hopes to com plete arrangements for the Alaska branch.
 If Mir. Harris shall be successful in getting the Alaska branch established all the National Cash Register Com pany's business in Alaska will be transacted from Juneau.
 Mir. Harris says his company is still maintaining tented city at Dayton, where 4,OOO of their employees are temporarily housed in tents. There were 4,7OO houses destroyed by the floods there of two months ago. In addition to the camp of the National Cash Register Company, the Red Cross Society is still maintaining camp of tents where 2,OOO people live. The city, however, is rapidly assuming nor, nal conditions. The big problem, he says, is in getting people back into homes. This will take months.
 While he is in the East, Mir. Harris also intends to attend the reunion of the Federal and Confederate veter' ans on the battlefield of Gettysburg He will take his father, who is a Union veteran. with him.

The recess for the big ore bins must be hewn out of the mountain side. These bins will be built in an artificial cave at an elevation suitable for employing the gravity system in conveying the ore to the crushers above the mills.
