The constunt and increasing demand for thein is sufficient cvidence of their merits, . ‘they arc constructed so aso apply steam directiy Into the pulp, or with steain bottoins, as desired. This Amalgamator Operates as Follows: The pan belng filled, the motion of Ihe muller forces the pulp to the ecuter, where it !s drawn down through the aperture and between the grinding surfaces. Thence it js throwu to the periphery Ino the qnicksliver, The curved plates again draw It tothe eenter, where It pauses down, and to the circumference as before. Thus It is constanlly passing in a regnlar tlow between the grinding surfuces and into the quicksilver, until the ore 1s reduced to an lhnpalpable powder, and tho metal ainalganiuited. Seticrs inadc on the same yrinclple exeel all others.— They bring the pulp so constantly ant perlectly tn contact with quicksllvcr, that the particles nre rapidly and completely absorbed.

Noclfort hus becn, or wiil be, spared to bave them constructed in the most pertect manner, and of the great number now In operation, not onc has ever reuired repairs. The constunt and increasing demand for thein is sufficient cvidence of their merits, . ‘they arc constructed so aso apply steam directiy Into the pulp, or with steain bottoins, as desired. This Amalgamator Operates as Follows: The pan belng filled, the motion of Ihe muller forces the pulp to the ecuter, where it !s drawn down through the aperture and between the grinding surfaces. Thence it js throwu to the periphery Ino the qnicksliver, The curved plates again draw It tothe eenter, where It pauses down, and to the circumference as before. Thus It is constanlly passing in a regnlar tlow between the grinding surfuces and into the quicksilver, until the ore 1s reduced to an lhnpalpable powder, and tho metal ainalganiuited. Seticrs inadc on the same yrinclple exeel all others.— They bring the pulp so constantly ant perlectly tn contact with quicksllvcr, that the particles nre rapidly and completely absorbed.
