[See cat. minyrais,] 298 Hungerford & Hendy, San Frapeisco; oue Prater Concentrator, This machiue is designed for concentrating ores, and works upon the principle of tho difference o specific gravity in the ores submitted to its oporation. The machine is fed, near its circumference, / hy a conienl distributor, when by n rapid vibratory motion the lighter particles are caused to separate from the heavier, and work towards the central orifice of discharge; the heavier, which consists of gold, amalgam or sulphurets, is retained at tlie circumference ; the free gold is easily taken ont as an amalgam, and the sulphurcts renioved from timo to timo as they accumulate, for any subsequent process. This machino was exhibited a year ago, since which time it has been somewhat imoditied and improved ; particularly by the addition of the bars, which may be noticed as radiating from the centre, just npon the surfuce of tho water, where they are placed for the purpose of creating such a kind of agitation ns is caleulated to cause the precipitation of any such fine particles of quicksilver ag imny be floating upon the surface. This machine is beiug rnpidly introduced into various portions of the mines. 6 299 Josiali Hendy, San Francisco: two Blow Pipes, eat minerals.) These blow-pipes are constructed with valves, by means of which n small India rubber bladder is filled with air from the mouth, which, by the contrnetive force of the bladder, is thrown out of the (See ‘small orifice of the blow-pipe in n continuous stream. ‘This flow of air is also held under the control of the operator by means of his finger, which, when pressed upon the neck of the bladder, cither reduces the current or entirely cuts it off, as may be desired, 301 J.

Mr. Longshore is one of tle pioneers in California-manufacturing indystry. His The Vualise glass caso 1s “goods are genevally noted for their durability, style and superiority of finish. The interior arrnngenent of his trunks is generally very superior. Mr. L. is himself a practical workman, and by his in. less weight of metal in tho grate, than any other dividual enterpriso and energy has introdnced iuto in use, 5 = this city an important brauch of industry, and built up ® good and paying business for himself. 869 Locan & Co.,.8an Fransisco: ono caso Favey Goods. 310 Wm, Uarriman, Sau Francieen: two Top Buggies.

The yellow ochre is obtained from Mariposa connty, the new sennn from Santa Clara, rose lake from Gnayums. Bone ash or bnrnt bones are nscd for niaking n black color. Dry colors and furniture polish uro also exhibited. The Pacific coast appears to be unusually prodnetive in material for mineral paints. 314 qe Danie’s, Sin Franciseo* one Marble ‘Mantel Piece. This mantel-picce is munufaetured from the celebrated Vermont Statuary Marble, which is considered equal, if not superior, to any other marble on the continent. The beauty, chustencss and finish of this piece of workmanship is worthy of espeeial notice. 315 Thos. Varney, San Francisco: one Amalgainitor. This is one of the pans which was involved in the famous " VorneyWheeler pan case,” which recently occnpied quite a prominent position in onr conrts. The pan on exhibition is of working size, and is geared up to its exact working spced when on duty at the mill, These pans are known, on the Pacifie coast, wherever quartz mining is carried on to any considerable extent. The principle on which these pans aro constructed, and their mode of working, is too well known to the public to need any special description at this time. 317 Mrs, Col. Coffee, San Francisco: six Indian Dolls, These curiosities were picked up on the San Bernardino desert, noar au old rancheria, aud are the work of Indian women. It will he noticed that they are dressed in the Mexican style. The manner aud style of their getting up is worthy of especial observation. Their faithfulncss to nature could scarcely be excelled, even by white fingers. 318 Woruce Collier, Sau Francisco; one Ply Trap. 319 G. K. Porter, San Francisco: four cases Boots. 821 J.

H, Morrow, Sau Franciseo: ono case Gravel Specimens, from the American North San Juan Co. Nevada Co., Cal. [Soe cat. minerals.) 7 826 J. M. Beath, San Fraucisen: one Quartz Grinder, This grinder consists of a square box, in which is placed a cylindrical cone of iron, which is made to revolve horizontally upon its axis. This cylinder is formed, as it were, of a series of bars of iron, held together much after the manner of a section of grate bars, the openings, however, placed at nn jaclination of abont 45 degrees from the centre of motion. .As this cylinder revolves, two wings are made to shut down npon it from cither side toward the centre. The box is filled with pulp of the usual fineness nnd consistency of that which is placed in tbo ordinary pans. By the rapid motion which it is found can be communiested to this machine, it is capable of doing a large amount of work, and, as a triturator, in a most effectual manner. Its construction is such that it does not necessarily require the rock to be stamped as’fine as is needed by tho ordinary pans. This machiue is now coming into quite extensive use. 8238 San Franclseo and Pacific Refinery : samples of Sugar, This exhibit consists of various kinds of raw sugars, together with the mannfuctured article in loaves, crushed nnd pulverized, and samples of syrups. The display is very tasteful and highly creditable to that important mauufacturing establishment. 331 Dewey & Co,, Mining and Scientific Press Job Printing Ottice, cor, Sunsomo aud Clay slreetg, San Francisco: one doz.

The attention of visitors is called to this exhibition of the bound volumes of the Minine anp Sc.entiric Press, copies of which can be had at the office of publication, corner of Clay and Sansome streetu, or by application at the publication stand of the Darty Fair Pruss, in the Pavilion. The ‘‘ Quartz Operator’s Hand-Book ” can also be had at the same plnces. 338 W. B,J Kenney, cor. Sacramento and Montgomery streets, Sun Francisco: six new Mammoth Fauntain Pens; six Book keeper’s Pens; six Buuk Pens; six Correspendent’s Peus; six Mummoth Pens; six Accountunt’s Peus; six Gents Revolving Pens; wree Ladies’ Tablet Pens, The “New Snperior Fountain Pen,” as it is called, in this collection, is especially worthy of notice, ‘The fountain being placed on the back of the pen, is therchy kept out of the way of the paper, and the ink will, by its own gravity, fall into the pen, instend of having to be drawn upwards, ns iu the other “fountnin pens.” It is claimed thnt the Superior Fountain Pen will hold fluid enough to writo two ‘pages of foolscap by one dip of the pen. $22 324 385 Devoe, Dinsmore & Co., San Francisco: sixtcen piece Gratc Bars, W. W. Tuyper’s Putont. Tbe chief superiority especially claimed for this grate is, that ite trnss, or main snpport and strength, is indepeudent of the grnto bars themselves, and consequently not affected by the heat or expansion of the gratesurfnce. The air openings of the grate sections aro also so formed as to best maiutgiu their original form under the expunsive action of heat; any one or more of the sections can also be readily replaced when desired, with but ‘little trouble, and no interference with any other section. The grate can neither warp, bag down nor break. It is elnimed that it will make a lnrger pereentuge of steam, do more servico with . 836 Bargion & Jolinson, San Francisco: one model Rock Crusher, This invention is entirely new, having never yet been put into practical operation. It is extremely simple in its operation, yet very difficult to describe withont a diagram. It consists, first, of a cylinder, oscillating wa its centre, with an arin projecting upward, at the top of which is fixed a slide-box with n crank, by which the oscillating motion is given to the cylinder. This cylinder is suspended: ina ftramo upon its axis, having two corrugated rubbing faces. ‘There are then two oseillating dies, one npon either side of the cylinder, swuny also upou theix axis, and within and snpported by the frame, and oscillated by means of n sbaft running through the lower part of cach die, both being connected by an angular arm with the axis of tho cylinder, which arni may-be seen npon the outside of the fraihe. The oscillation of the lower part of the dies is obtained by a crank fixed in the cylinder axis, inmediately below the centre of oscillation, which gives the dies their crushing (oscillating) motion, the same being less than the sixteenth of aninech, thronghwhich small spuce all the rock pnt into the machine must pass. The rock passing immediately between the two motions, receives tho pressure of the dies acting upon the cylinder, by which itis very fiucly aud rapidly pulverized. ‘The levers referred to are constructed of wronglit-irou, which enubles the inventor to obtain a large nnount of strength, with a very small weight of iron. Both mullers and dics aro so constructed that the crushing surfaces can be renewed when too much worn for effectual service; and as they praduully wear away, that abrasion is taken up by means of keys, which may be adjusted as often as neecssary, and without even stopping the machine. This erusher is double-acting, being fed upon both sides, thereby allowing of no loss of motion—an importaut consideration in the amount of work which may bo done. The machine, as a whole, is made compacs and durable, and of comparatively little weight, in comparison to its efficiency. 337) Wun. Trumbull, San Francisco: fot Horse Collars, Theso collars represent all the various styles and qnalities, from the substautial mauufacture for the fieavy draught horse, to the neat und elegantly made pateut leather collar for the light buggy or more ¢legant carriage. 338 James Longshore, Sau Francisco; two Valises; two Carpet Bugs. 329 LL. C. Hunter, San Francisco: specimens of Lava from Sandwich fshinde, (See cut. miverals.] 341 E,T, Stoeu, San Frankisco: one Steam Enigino. It has been the effort of the maker of this engine to so combine its materials as to obtain the greatest strength with the least weight of metal. It is of twenty-five-lorse power, and no piece, except the fly-wheel, weighs over 550 pounds. It can be pnt up right or left hand without altering a singlo piece: in its combination. The pistow requires no adjusting, is always steam-tight, and will not cut tho cylinder. It is worked with Reynolds’ patent cutoff, which, it is claimed, effects a saving of from twenty to fifty per cent. of fuel, and also operates. ag a perfect regulater. 343° Wim. M. Butler, San Francisco: ono Barber’s Chair. 845 A. Grimm, San Francisco: sumples of Hair Rejfnveu° tor, 848 H. J. Booth & Co., San Francisco: ono Russia Quarta Sereen; one Woodward’s Steam Pump. The quartz screen is exhibited just as it came from the punching machine, without being rolled, showing the excellent workmanship and the superiority of the working of this machine. The principal points of advantage claimed for these pumps is simplicity of construction, facility: of access to all the valves, durability of all the working parts, and amali amount of space occupied. ‘Tho pumps are designed and constructed so. as to allow of being used to drive machinery ; they require but asmall amount of power. As to their success, no fnrther commont is needed than the uicre stutemeut that they are iu use by most of tho best anills throughont the country, and by Govyernment sbips generuly. 819 W. R. Eckurt, Union Iron Works, Sau Franeisco; one Cut-off Vulve Indicator. This iuvention consists of a silver indieator for showing the position of Moyers’ cutoff, (the kind’ in general use,) relative to that of the link motion or variable stroke of the main valve. Mr. Eckhart claims that this has never before been accomplished. by any mechanical contrivance. Tbe machine is extremely fine in construction and appearance, but can be fully understeod only by « practical engincer or machinist. $50 Caleb M. Sickler, Sun Francisco: sot Stove Furtiture; twenty-one Milk Guus; two Measures, all Caliternia make; ono Cyluider Boilor; two Stoves; oue Putnam’s Wringer. The etove, furniture, milk cans and measures are ofeCalifornin manufacture. 351 Vuican lron Works Co., San Francisco; oao doublo piston Steam Eugine, This engine was manufactured hy the Vulcaw Iron Works company. It is designed to supply a larger power with a light weight of material for convenience of transportation. By the use of two pistons in one cylinder, a high specd of piston is obtained, with perfect safety nnd steadiness of motion—eqnal to double the power of single piston engines of the same dinmeter of cylinder. The steam being admitted between the pistons, drives them apart with equal force; and again being admitted to hoth ends of the cylinder at the same time, and by the snme movement of the valve, it drives the pistons towards ench other again with equal force. These two forces being applied at the same time to the donble crank, exerts the whole power of the stenm without nny strain on the bed-plate, or any friction on the crank shaft journals. ‘Thus the whole power of the engine is brought direct to its ‘work, and the friction reduced to the smullest possible qnantity ; besides the ndvantage pf 2 high motion at first speed, obviating tho necessity of counter shaft and belts, with their friction. At 300 feet of piston speed, this engine

The machine is fed, near its circumference, / hy a conienl distributor, when by n rapid vibratory motion the lighter particles are caused to separate from the heavier, and work towards the central orifice of discharge; the heavier, which consists of gold, amalgam or sulphurets, is retained at tlie circumference ; the free gold is easily taken ont as an amalgam, and the sulphurcts renioved from timo to timo as they accumulate, for any subsequent process. This machino was exhibited a year ago, since which time it has been somewhat imoditied and improved ; particularly by the addition of the bars, which may be noticed as radiating from the centre, just npon the surfuce of tho water, where they are placed for the purpose of creating such a kind of agitation ns is caleulated to cause the precipitation of any such fine particles of quicksilver ag imny be floating upon the surface.

This is one of the pans which was involved in the famous " VorneyWheeler pan case,” which recently occnpied quite a prominent position in onr conrts. The pan on exhibition is of working size, and is geared up to its exact working spced when on duty at the mill, These pans are known, on the Pacifie coast, wherever quartz mining is carried on to any considerable extent. The principle on which these pans aro constructed, and their mode of working, is too well known to the public to need any special description at this time. 317 Mrs, Col.

Beath, San Fraucisen: one Quartz Grinder, This grinder consists of a square box, in which is placed a cylindrical cone of iron, which is made to revolve horizontally upon its axis. This cylinder is formed, as it were, of a series of bars of iron, held together much after the manner of a section of grate bars, the openings, however, placed at nn jaclination of abont 45 degrees from the centre of motion. .As this cylinder revolves, two wings are made to shut down npon it from cither side toward the centre. The box is filled with pulp of the usual fineness nnd consistency of that which is placed in tbo ordinary pans. By the rapid motion which it is found can be communiested to this machine, it is capable of doing a large amount of work, and, as a triturator, in a most effectual manner. Its construction is such that it does not necessarily require the rock to be stamped as’fine as is needed by tho ordinary pans. This machiue is now coming into quite extensive use. 8238 San Franclseo and Pacific Refinery : samples of Sugar, This exhibit consists of various kinds of raw sugars, together with the mannfuctured article in loaves, crushed nnd pulverized, and samples of syrups.

W. Tuyper’s Putont. Tbe chief superiority especially claimed for this grate is, that ite trnss, or main snpport and strength, is indepeudent of the grnto bars themselves, and consequently not affected by the heat or expansion of the gratesurfnce. The air openings of the grate sections aro also so formed as to best maiutgiu their original form under the expunsive action of heat; any one or more of the sections can also be readily replaced when desired, with but ‘little trouble, and no interference with any other section. The grate can neither warp, bag down nor break. It is elnimed that it will make a lnrger pereentuge of steam, do more servico with . 836 Bargion & Jolinson, San Francisco: one model Rock Crusher, This invention is entirely new, having never yet been put into practical operation. It is extremely simple in its operation, yet very difficult to describe withont a diagram. It consists, first, of a cylinder, oscillating wa its centre, with an arin projecting upward, at the top of which is fixed a slide-box with n crank, by which the oscillating motion is given to the cylinder. This cylinder is suspended: ina ftramo upon its axis, having two corrugated rubbing faces. ‘There are then two oseillating dies, one npon either side of the cylinder, swuny also upou theix axis, and within and snpported by the frame, and oscillated by means of n sbaft running through the lower part of cach die, both being connected by an angular arm with the axis of tho cylinder, which arni may-be seen npon the outside of the fraihe. The oscillation of the lower part of the dies is obtained by a crank fixed in the cylinder axis, inmediately below the centre of oscillation, which gives the dies their crushing (oscillating) motion, the same being less than the sixteenth of aninech, thronghwhich small spuce all the rock pnt into the machine must pass. The rock passing immediately between the two motions, receives tho pressure of the dies acting upon the cylinder, by which itis very fiucly aud rapidly pulverized. ‘The levers referred to are constructed of wronglit-irou, which enubles the inventor to obtain a large nnount of strength, with a very small weight of iron. Both mullers and dics aro so constructed that the crushing surfaces can be renewed when too much worn for effectual service; and as they praduully wear away, that abrasion is taken up by means of keys, which may be adjusted as often as neecssary, and without even stopping the machine. This erusher is double-acting, being fed upon both sides, thereby allowing of no loss of motion—an importaut consideration in the amount of work which may bo done. The machine, as a whole, is made compacs and durable, and of comparatively little weight, in comparison to its efficiency. 337) Wun.

It has been the effort of the maker of this engine to so combine its materials as to obtain the greatest strength with the least weight of metal. It is of twenty-five-lorse power, and no piece, except the fly-wheel, weighs over 550 pounds. It can be pnt up right or left hand without altering a singlo piece: in its combination. The pistow requires no adjusting, is always steam-tight, and will not cut tho cylinder. It is worked with Reynolds’ patent cutoff, which, it is claimed, effects a saving of from twenty to fifty per cent. of fuel, and also operates. ag a perfect regulater. 343° Wim. M.

The quartz screen is exhibited just as it came from the punching machine, without being rolled, showing the excellent workmanship and the superiority of the working of this machine. The principal points of advantage claimed for these pumps is simplicity of construction, facility: of access to all the valves, durability of all the working parts, and amali amount of space occupied. ‘Tho pumps are designed and constructed so. as to allow of being used to drive machinery ; they require but asmall amount of power. As to their success, no fnrther commont is needed than the uicre stutemeut that they are iu use by most of tho best anills throughont the country, and by Govyernment sbips generuly. 819 W. R. Eckurt, Union Iron Works, Sau Franeisco; one Cut-off Vulve Indicator. This iuvention consists of a silver indieator for showing the position of Moyers’ cutoff, (the kind’ in general use,) relative to that of the link motion or variable stroke of the main valve. Mr. Eckhart claims that this has never before been accomplished. by any mechanical contrivance. Tbe machine is extremely fine in construction and appearance, but can be fully understeod only by « practical engincer or machinist. $50 Caleb M.

It is designed to supply a larger power with a light weight of material for convenience of transportation. By the use of two pistons in one cylinder, a high specd of piston is obtained, with perfect safety nnd steadiness of motion—eqnal to double the power of single piston engines of the same dinmeter of cylinder. The steam being admitted between the pistons, drives them apart with equal force; and again being admitted to hoth ends of the cylinder at the same time, and by the snme movement of the valve, it drives the pistons towards ench other again with equal force. These two forces being applied at the same time to the donble crank, exerts the whole power of the stenm without nny strain on the bed-plate, or any friction on the crank shaft journals. ‘Thus the whole power of the engine is brought direct to its ‘work, and the friction reduced to the smullest possible qnantity ; besides the ndvantage pf 2 high motion at first speed, obviating tho necessity of counter shaft and belts, with their friction. At 300 feet of piston speed, this engine
