Separators, In addition to tbe ordinary Ama!gators new In
use, and to ro-work their old taillngs.
The cost of these pans ia inconsiderable, and thelr struc.
tnre . g Such that they can be reudily separated in parts con:
venient for (packing on mules. ‘Among the many advantacs possessed by BAUX & GUIOD'S Pan, are the tellowlng:

PATENT .AMALGAMATOR.
These Machines Stund Unrivaled.
For rapldly pulverizing and amalgamat!ng ores, they
have nocqual. No éffort has been, or ‘will be, spared to
have them constructed In the most perfect’munner, and of
tho great number now In oper#tion, not one has ever reulred repairs. The constant and lacreasing demand for
them Is sufiielent evidence of thelr morits,
They are consiruetcd so asto apply steam directly into
the pulp, or witb steam bottoms, as desired.
This Amalgamator Operates as Follows:
The pan being filled, the motion of the muller forees the
pulp to the center, where It !s drawu down through the aperture and between tho grinding surfaces. Thence It ig
thrown to the periphery !uto the quickbHvor. The curved
plates again wey \¢to the center, where it pases down,
and to tho clrewnference as before, Thus lt ie coitstantly
assing In n regular flow between the grindIng snrlaccs and
inte the quicksilver, until Ihe ore lg reduced to an Impalpable powder, aud the metal amalgamated.
Setlers made on the same prinelple excel al! others.—
They bring the pulp so coustantly aad perfectly In contact
with quicksilver, that the particles.ara rapidly and com ¢
pletely absorbed. i :
