THE HAMMER QUARTZ MILL.
[PATENT APPLIED FOR.}
This Machine Is now complete and ready for saic. In
constructing it, our alm has becn to produce a light, cheap
and economical Crusher—one adapted to mining on a sinali
ag well ag on a lurge scale.
The elementary principle on whieh it operates is that of
the stamp—the only one really relinble and economical.
But the stainp has many serious disadvantages, ainong
which are its great weight and small velocity; the great
power required to run it; diffiewty in feeding properly;
imperfeet discharge, and the neeesslty of crushing wet,
or the annoyance Irom dust in erushing dry.
All these difficultles are obviated in our machine, and
tho percusslve blow of the slamp retained, with the fiurther advantage of its belng a drawing or grinding one.
We give to our hammers such absolute or relative weight
and veloclty as we choosc—just such as to effect their purpose and no more—thus securlug the qualltles of the natnral hammer blow.
Tho feed is self-ndjusting and uniform, and as fast as the
ore reaches the required degree of fincness (which depends
upon the fineness of the screen or sieve used), it is Instantly
discharged, so that there is no packing of the ore under the
hammers.
The mill ernshes dry, with no more dust than that incident to fecdlug, whieh is trifting.
Asthe only support of the mortar is a single post sct into
tbe ground, the machine can be put in place at slight expense,
The size now being built weighs about 1,800 ponnds complete; the heaviest piece not welghing over 275 pounds. It
is driven by half a horse-power, and erushes from three to
ten tong per day of twenty-four hours per day, accordlug to
the characler of the rock and tho fineness to which it is
redneed.
PRICE,....... pnonanond $800,
Larger ones will be furnished if desired.
We Invite an inspection of the Miil now in operation adjoining the Foundry of DEVOE, DINSMORE & CO., on

PROPELLER AMALGAMATOR,
The proprictors and inventors of this machine, after
fourteen etre of practical experieuco in mining in California and Nevada Territory, and haylng a thorough knowledge of the wants of Mincrs and Mill men, have succeeded
ln making an Amalgamator, which, for the purposes Intended, far surpasses any other yet presented to tbe public, and
which can be furnished at less than one-half of the expense
of any other Amalgaimator, now iu nse, besides reqniring
less lahor to clean sud Keep it in running order. The
Amalgainator is siiuplo in its construction, consisting of a
Anortub constructed of wood nnd adapted to cithrr a
Stoue or Iron bottom. Opposite cach other, and on the inside ot the mb. are two flanges, trom two to four Inches
broad, reaching from the top to near the bottom, with room
tor the mullers to passunder. These flanges are for the purpose of preveutiug the pulp trom forming a cirenlar current, and together with a number of wings placed like a
serew-propeller on the muller-shaft, force a current continuaily on the quicksllver at the bottom and under the grinding surface ot the mullers. This peenliarity ot propellerserew and side wings, In coinbinatlou with a deep tub, are
what tbe Ong elia clahn ns new and for which a patent
has been applied for. The undersigned are now manutacturing threo different sizes of this inachine, and tho attention of the public is respectfully calied to the following results obtained, froin the worklng of Reese River roci, by
this amalgamator, and assayed by Miller & Lunbanm, ut

This Premium Amalgamator was placed on trial, at the
Mechanics’ Pavlliou, with the Varney, Wheeler & Randall,
and Hepburn & Peterson Pan, each working eigbt hundred
pounds of crushed rock.
This Unrivaled Amalgamator possesses many advantages
over all others now in use.
lst. It is anor of duing double the amount of work of
the ordinary Pans, at a saving Of more than one-half of the
pow er.
gd. It reduces the pulp finer, thereby producing a better
result,
. It reqnires less quicksilverby one-half at a charge,
whilst the loss by trituratlon is comparatlvely nothing,

ag also tor very fine or flour gold, it has no cqual. ,
Sth. Tbis Amalgamator involves no complleated machinery, and is less liable to get outof order than any of the
VARNEYW’S
PATENT AMALGAMATOR.
These Machines Stand Unrivaled.
For rapidly pulverizing and amalgamating ores, they
have noequal. No effort hus been, or will be, spared to
have them constructed In the most perfect manner, and of
the great number now in operon not ono has ever recuined repairs. The constant and Increasing demand for
them is sutticient evidence ot thelr merits,
They are constructed so asto apply steam directly into
the pulp, or with steam bottoms, as desired.
This Amalgamator Operates aa Follows:
The pan being filled, the inotion of the mnller forces the
pulp to the center, where itis drawn down throngh the aperture aud between the grinding surfaces. Thence it is
thrown to the periphery into the quicksilver. Tho curved
plates again draw it to the center, where it passes down,
and to the ctreumference as before. Thus itis constantly
assing in a regular flow betwcen the grinding surfaces and »
ae the quicksilver, until the ore is reduced to an impaipable powder, and the metal amalgamated.
Setlers made on the same prinelple excel ali others.—
They bring the pulp so eonstantiy and perfectly in eontact
with quicksllver, t at the particles are rapidly and completely absorbed.
Mill men are invited to examine these pans and sotlers for
themselves, at the PACIFIC FOUNDRY,
