These Machines Stand Unrlvalicd. For rapidly pulverizing aml amalganiaiing ores, they have noequal. Noeort has been, or wil be, spared to bave then consiructed in the most perfect nmnner, and of the great umber now In oycration, not one has ever reae repairs. The constant and increasing demand for them Is suticient evidence of their merits. They ure constructed so asto apply steam directly Into the pulp, or with steant bottoms, as desired, This Amalgamator Operates as Follows: The pan belng filled, ihe motion of the muller forces the pulp to the center, where it is drawn down through the oe erture and botween the grinding surtaccs, Theuce it is thrown to the periphery ino the quicksilver, Lhe carved Plates agaln drnw it to ihe center, where it passes down, and tothe cireumference ns botore. Thuy itis coustanitly pussing In a regular fow-between the grinding surtaces aunt Into the quicksilver, untll the oro)s reduced to an hinpalpable powder, and ile metal amalgainaied. b. Setlers nude on the same principle excel all olhers.— They bring the pulp so constantiy and perteclly in eontaet with quicksilver, that the purticles are rapldly and eompletely absorbed.
