Los Angeles herald., 1908-10-24
AT THE HOTELS
MINING ENGINEERS
HERE FOR VACATION

q. T. Mccarthy and G. Stephenson,
mining eng eers of London, arrived
in Los Angeles last night and are reg
istered at the Angelus. They recently
have arrived in the United States from
China and are en- route to the state OF
Sonora, Mexico, to look after the min
ing interests of an English syndicate
having extensive holdings in that sec
ton.
1--WE have been hard at work in
China said Mr.. Mccarthy, "and are
glad 20 be in civilization again. There
are vast mining interests in the Far
East, and nearly one-half of the
worlds output of tin comes from the
mines of the Malay islands. To give
you an idea of the greatness of the in
dustry in that part of the world, there
are more than 100000 Chinese engaged
in delving for metals. There is some
gold there, but tin is more abundant.
Los Angeles is great place and we
probably will remain here a day or so
