ticularlv at this time. it being the pur-

ticularly at this time, it being the pur-
pose OF this article to show briefly what
the city contained in the way OF indus
tries and to urge the Importance OF rem
dering them all the assistance possible.
A brief mention will, therefore, be made
at this time of only those interviewed.
THE BIG CONCERNS.
Among the larger concerns, or those
which employ the most help, are the
Cudahv Packing company, the Los An
geles Iron and Steel company, Lacy
Manufacturing company, j. D. Hooker
4 Co., and number of Others OF less
importance. The pork packing estab-
liehment employs more than 20 men and
disburses over $4,000 a month. Besides
this fact, it furnishes market for 80, 900
to $4,000 hogs year, worth great
many thousand dollars.
The Los Angeles Iron and Steel COM
psnY, which is just getting ia running
order. will employ from 20 to so hands
and will manufacture product which is
now in very general use. All the pipe
for irrigation lines-and an immense
amount OF it ia being used-should
henceforth be made from product turned
out by this new mill.
In addition to the industries just mem
toned are half dozen large planning
mills, like the California mill or South
Vain street mill, which employs IL to
10 men; the Los Angeles mill, on San
Pedro street, with % men the Alta
mill, at Seventh and San Pedro, which
finds employment for 20 men, besides
which are J. Pugh & Son, the Washing
ton street mill, and several others, all
constantly employed.
BY making q census of those who
find employment in Los Angeles manu-
factories, it will probably reach figure
not far from 5000. This is considerably
in excess of the number most people APP
pear to imagine from brief visit mere,
and shows that Los Angeles has consid-
cradle besides climate to make her
great.
The oil interests of Puente, Newhall
and Ventura county represent thousands
of dollars, and will eventually lead to
the building OF large reineries and es-
Adjustments for manufacturing the
product which comes from the ground
into various shapes Tor salo to the world.
Then up on tho edge of this county is a
big ledge of marble, which will come
into prominence come day. An eastern
expert has written letter saying it is
the beat he ever saw. Take these few
items, together with the fruits, vegeta-
bles, etc., being manufactured in yari-
GUS ways, and the time is not distant
when Los Angeles will find employment
for e. 900 persons.
f. Newnham, ct 208 West Fifth street,
is engaged in manufacturing artificial
limbs. In brass works there are two
regular establishments, Joseph Jones,
at Spring and Seventh streets, and the
Pacific, ON Upper Main street. Each
employs considerable labor.
The brick yarda, OF which there are
five regular companies, likewise employ
several hundred men.
The wood and paper box industry ia
quite an extensive one. T. L. Jones &
Son, on First street. and R. w, Prid-
ham, on Los Angeles street, do the bulk
oithe paper work.
Among the new establishments ia the
