These Machines Stand Unrivaled,
For rapiilly pulverizing and amalgamating ores, they
have nocqual. Noetlort has been, or will be, spared ta
have Them constructed In the most perfect mamner, und ol
the great munber now In operation, not one haxever reulred reqairs. The constant and inercasing demand lor
then is sutticient evidence of their merits.
‘hey are construcied so asto apply sieam directly into
the pulp, or with stears bottoins, as desired.
This Amalgamator Operates as Follows:
The pan belng filled, the motion of the niuller forces the
pulp lo the center, where Stis drawn ilown throngh the aperiure and hetween the grinliug surfaces. hence it is
thrown to the periphery Into the quicksilver. The eurved
plates again ilrrwiitte the ceuter, where it passes down,
and tuthe elreumference as betore. This ilis constanily
assing tia regular lbw between the grinding surfaces and
nto the quicksilver, nntil the are ig redneed to an Impalpa. ble powder, and the metal amalgamated. ~
Setlers made on the suine prinelple excel all others—
Thiy bring the pulp so constautiy and pertectly In contact
with quicksilver, thal the particles are rapidly and completely nbsorbed.

Separator & Amalgamator
Ia the most important improvement In miving machinery
uver Introduced. It was awanied the FIRST PREMIUM at
the San Francisco Mechanies! Fair for 1864, where it proved
itself to be the best_Separator and Amalgamator among all
the compclitors. Constructed on principles which.combine
Scixntiric Ryownepsr with Practical Expnairncr, hese
Pans extract more gold and sliver Irom Their orcs Ihan any
others In use, as alew hors lal wili demonstrale. Mill
men will find it to thelr advantage to employ theso pans as
Separators, In adilion to the orlinary Amalgators now in
uso, and to re-work thelr old taillnzs.
The cost of these pans is Inconsiderable, and thelr struc.
turo is such that they ean be readily separated in parts convenient for packing on mules. Among the wany ndvaniaee poxxessed by BAUX & GUIOD'S Pam are lhe toilowing:
the trifling cost for attendance; Its small cost; Its portahilily; The large quantity of pulp it em operate upon In a given thne; It may be worked cyen weeks without stopping,
as It 1s constructed to work continuously; The complete
thoroughness of the separation of the reck from the metals
aul tho trifling power required to work thm; They can be
attached to any ordinary SG apparatus.
