12 The Blining and Seientific Press. New Metuop or Buying anp SELLING.— A. Paris letter describes a most extraordinary revolutiou iu the ordinary course of affairs which is about to be inaugurated. On thesite of the old Theater Lyrique a huge building is iu course of construction by a company of tradespeople, who are about to start a new principle in the art of buying and selling. There will be sold in this gigantic warehouse every imaginable article of food, dress, furniture, ironmongery, etc. ‘the purchaser, on paying for his goods, will be handed a receipt, which he will keep, until, by successive purchases, he has receipts for one hundred francs, (£4,) on prescuting which the company will exchange these for that sum. At the end of every year a lottery will take place, and if the purchaser be in luck, and his number comes out, he will be repaid the whole sum spent ; but if Dame Fortune be not propitious, he may have to wait fifty-nine years to recover the money he has spent. ‘Thus, if I buy a coat, price £4, at the end of two years, if I am fortunate, my £4 is paid back to me, or to my grandson, A. D. 1923. This sounds awfully like a joke, but the company is positively formed ; it starts with a capital of 20,000,000 francs, and has paid down three millions for ground purchased.

THE HAMMER QUARTZ MILL. [PATENT APPLIED FOR] This Machine Is now: complete aud ready for saic. In constructing lt, our alm has been to produce a light, cheap and economical Crusher—onc adapted to mining on asmall as well as on a large scale. The elementary principle on whieh: It operates is that of the stamp—the only one really reltable and economicul. But the stamp has many serlons iilsadvantages, among which are {ts great welght and small velocity; the great power required to run it; difficulty In feeding properly; imperfect discharge, and the necessity of crushing wet, or the annoyance from dust in crnshing dry. All these difficulties are obviated ln onr machine, and tic percussive blow of the stamp retalned, with the further advantage of Its heing a drawlug of grinding one. We glve to our hammers suci: abseluto or relative weight and velocity as we choose—just such as to effect thelr purpose and no more—thus securing the qualities of the natntal hammer blow. The feed Js self-adjusting and uniform, and as fast as the ore reaches the required degree of fineness (which depends upon the fineness of the screen or sieve used), It Is instantiy discharged, so that there Is eo pucking of the ore under the hammers, The mill crushes dry, with no more dust than that ineldent to feeding, which is trifling. Asthe only support of the mortar Is a single post sctfeto the ground, the machine can be put in place at slight expense. The size now being built weighs abeut 1,800 ponnds complete; the heaviest plece not welghing over 275 ronnds. It Js driven by half a horse-pewer, and crushes from three to ten tons per day of twenty-four hours per day, accordlng to the character of the rock and the fineness to which It is reduced, Larger ones will be furnished if desired.

The proprieters and inventors ef thls machine, after fourteen years of practical Seren euce in mining In Calitornia and Nevada Territory, and hnving a thorough knowledue of the wants of Miners and Mili. men, have succeeded In making an Ainalganiator, which, for the purposes Iniended, far surpasses uny other yet presented to the public, aud which can be turnished at Jess than one-half of the expense of any other Amaslgumetor, now in use, besides requiring less labor to cle nil keep it in running order. The Amalgamatpr is simple in its construction, consisting of a panortub constructed of wood and adapted to either a Stone or Iron bottom. Opposile each other, and on thie Inside of the inb. are twn flanges, trom two to tour inches broad, reachIng trom tie tep to uear the bottom, with room for the mullers tn pass under. These flauges arc for the purpose of preventing the pulp froin torming a circular cur rent, aud together with a number of wings placed like a serew propeller on the muller-shatt, force n enrrent continaally on the quicksilver at the bottom and uuder the grinding surface ot the mullers. This pecnilarity of propellerscrew amt side winys, in combination wlth 2 deep tub, aro what the proprictors clnim as new and tor which a patent hax been appiled tor.

OGDEN, Agent, SAN FRANCISCO, Ror oaa corecr Montgomery and Callforeia atrects. They are constricted s0 asto apply steam directly Inte the puip, or with stcamn bottonrs, as desired. This Amalgamator Operates as Follows: The pan being filicil, the motion of the muller forces the pulp to the center, where it ls drawn down throngh the aperture and between the grindlug surfaces. Thence It is thrown to the periphery into the quicksilver. The curved piates.agnin draw It to the center, where it pnsses down, and to tho circumference as bctore, Thus itis constantly assing In a regular flow between the griuding surtaces und Ihe the quicksilver, unti! the ore is reduced to nn impalpabie powder, and the metal amalgamated. Setlers made oi the same priuciple execl all others.— They bring the pulp so constautiy and pertectly In contact with qnicksilver, that the particles are rapidly and completely absorbed. Mill men arc invited to examine these pans and seticrs for themselves, at the PACIFIC FOUNDRY, Ivl0 San Franclsco, Hepburn & Peterson’s AMALGAMATOR. HE SUBSCRIBERS WOULD CALL THE ATTENTION of the Mining Prtblic to thelr Reducer and tAmalgamator, and also to their Separator for reducing and separating the mleeral froin S Gold and Silver Ores, Manufactured and exhibited atthe Vulcan Iron Works, Nos 137 and 139 First street, San Francisco. These machines secure to the Minera more Expeditious and Perfect Rednction and Ainalgamatiou, a less iahiltty to accident and delay, and a greater amount of nsefiil effect in proportion tothe pewer employed to kecp them in operation than any other machine now in use for producing siml. -ar results.
