, N. J., and had
mels. There is a considerable expense
‘of time and labor however, in this process, which gives no-retarn,as the whole
mass, including the cobble stones and
gravel found in the cement is run
through a mill. A new cement mill
has been invented, for which the power
of separating the gravel from the pulp
is claimed. It is invented. by Captain
Cox, and one of them is soon to be put
in operation on a claim neat Grass Val.
ley. One of these milis, says the National, has been in operation since the
5th of September, at Jeffersonville, near
Jamestown, Tudlumne county, and the
gentleman on whose claims it is located
and in operation, informs us that it:
works very satisfactorily, and is deci_____ edly a cheap process of working cement .
gravel claims. He states that 35 tons
of ordinary cement gravel can be put
through the mill in twelve hours, and
$80 tons in 24 hours if the gravel is not
very hard. In crashing this amount,
he has it so arranged that one man at~
*ends to the whole machinery, which is
tun by water power, without much
‘trouble,. and the same water used for
driving this machinery carries off the
stones discharged by the mill. In re
gard to saving the gold, he says it depends somewhat on the quality. If
the gold is not very fine or rusty, there
is not much trouble in saving the great‘er portion of it, but he is of the opinion,
aa
_ with the experience he has had in ope‘rating ¢he mill, that even if fine and
rusty he has saved the most of it. All
_ ‘the gold is saved after it leaves the
mill, and as to the mode of saving it ev‘ery one can have his own idea and con—
struct his apparatus accordingly. In
the mill we are speaking of, quicksilveris put into the mill, a little at a
time, which of course mixes in with the
dirt. All the fine dirt, gold, water and
quicksilver go through the holes in
the bottom, falling on an apron below
with low riffles, and from that on a
large shaking table which has over 350
motions per minate, and from there it
is led into long sluices. The driving
power of the mill is furnished by a
cheap hurdy-gurdy wheel, 12 feet in
diameter, made of two-inch plank,with
40 inches of water and 140 feet fall.—
Another company working in the vicinity of the one we have been speaking
Of is about putting one of the mills on
their claims, being perfectly satisfied as
to its working successfully and economi.cally. An improvement has been made
in the mill since the above was in opetation, by which we are told 100 tons of
cement can be put through in 24 hours,
and one of these improved mills is
about being put in operation on the
_ Hope Gravel Mining Company’s claims
on Alta Hill. Mr. Locke, the superin.tendent of the company, informs us
that the mill is already on the ground,
and when in operation will be’ driven
by a steam engine of 16 horse power,
and he expects to have it in operation
in two or three. weeks, when we shall
be able to give those interested « better
idea of its advantages. We have devoted a large space to the notice of this
vement mill, because we believe, if it
affects all that is claimed for it, it will
add greatly to the effectual and economical working of the extensive cement
gravel deposits in various parts of our
county. koe i
SEVERE Storm at Sirka.—-We have
