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.
We Invite an Inspection of the Mill now in operation adjoiniug the Foundry of DEVOE, DINSMORE & CO,, on,
Fremoet strect, between Market and Mission, San Franelsco.

PROPELLER AMALGAMATOR.
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

hax been appiled tor. The undersizned are now manulacturlig three different sizes of this machine, and the attention of the pubile is respecttully calied to the tollowing results obtained, trom the working of Reese River rock, by

Pennds ot crushed rock.

They are constricted s0 asto apply steam directly Inte

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
