For rapidly pulveriziig and amalgamating ores, they have noeqnal. No effort has been, or will be, spared to have them constructed in tle most perteot manner, and of the great nuuiber wow Ju operation, uot one has ever reaes Tepairs. Tho constant and inereasing demand for them Is suificient evidence of their merits. They are constructed so asto apply stcam dircetly Into the pulp, or with steam bolioms, as desired. Thia Amalgamator Operates as Follows: The pan being filled, the motion of theinuller forees the pip to the eenter, where It ls drawn down through tbe aD enure and between the grinding surfaces. Thenee it is lhrown to Hie rane into the quieksllver. The eurved plates again draw it to the center, where it passes down, and tothe elrcumference as before. Thug itis coustantly pase in a regninr flow between the grinding surfaces and nto the quicksllyer, until the ore is reduced to an impaipable powder, and the metal umalgamated. Setlers nado on the same principle excel all others.— They bring the pulp so constantly and perfectly in contect with quicksilver, that the particles are rapidly and compPietely absorbed. Mill men are invited to exam. nc these pans and setlers for themselves, at the PACIFIC FOUN DEY, Wl San Francisco. NOTICE.
