PATENT AMALGAMATOR.
These Machines Stund Unrivaled.
For rapldly puiverizing and amalgamating ores, they
have nocqual. Noefiort has been, or will be, spared to
havo them constructed in the most parfeet manner, and of
the great number now in opcrntion, not one has ever reulred repairs. The constant and increasing demand for
them is sufficient evldcnce ot their merits.
They are constructcd 50 asto apply steam directly into
tho puip, or with steam bottoms, as desired.
This Amalgamator Operates as Fellows:
The pan belng filled, the motion of the muller forecs the
pulp to the center, whcre itis drawn down tbrongli the aperture and between the grinding surfaccs, Thence it is
thrown to the periphery Into the quicksllver. The curved
Plates again draw It to the center, where it passes down,
and to tho circumtcrence as before. Thusitis coustantly
passing in a regular flow between the grinding surfaces and
into the quicksilver, until the ore ls reduced to an Impalpable powder, and the metal amalgamated,
Setlers made on the same principle cxeel all others.—
They bring the pulp so constantiy and pertcctly in contact
with quicksilver, that the particles are rapldly aud completely absorhed.
Aili men are invited to examinc these pans and setlers for
themselves, at tbe PACIFIC FOUNDRY,
Ilo San Frantisco,
THE HAMMER QUARTZ MILL.
[PATENT APPLIED FOR]
This Machine is now complete and rendy’for sale. In
constructing it, our aim has been to produce a light, cheap
and economical Crushcr—one adapted to mining ou a small
as well as on a large seale.
The elementary principle on which it operates is that of
the stamp—tbe only one really reliable and cconomlcal. ~
But the stamp has many serious disadvantages, among
which are its great weight and smalj velocity; the great
power required to rnn it: difficulty in feeding properly;
imperfect discharge, and the necessity of crushing wet,
or the aunoyance from dust in crushing dry.
All these dilliculties are obvlated in our machine, and
the percussive blow of the stamp rctained, with the further advantage of its belng a drawing or grinding one.
We give to our haininers such absolute or relative weight
and vélocity as we choose—just such as to effect their purpose and no more—thus securing the qualitles of the natural hammer blow.
The feed is self-adjnsting and uniform, and as fast as the
ore reaches the required degree of finencss (which dcpends
upon the filencss of the scrcen or sieve nsed), it ja instantly
discharged, so that there is no packing of the ore under the
hammers,
The mill crushes dry, with no more dust than that. iucldcnt to fecding, which is trifling..
Asthe only support of the mortar isa single post set lnto
the ground, the machine can be put in place at slight expense,
The slzc now belng buiit weighs abont 1,800 ponndscomplete; the heaviest piece not weighing over 275 pounds. It
is drlven by half a horse-power, and crushes from three to
ten toms per day of twenty-four hours per day, according to
the character of the rock aud the fineness to which it is
reduced.
Larger ones will be furnishedif desired.

Itself to be the best_Scparator and Amalgamator among all

Scizntiric Kyownepce witn Practica, Expratencr, thera
Pans extract more gold and silver froin thelr ores than anv
others In nse, as a few hours trial will demonstrate. Ml
men will find It te thelr advantage tocmploy these pans as
Scparators, in addltlon to the ordinary Amalgators now in
use, and to re-work thetr old tailings.
The cost of these pans is Inconsiderable, and thelr strneture ls such that they can be rcadily separated In parts cone
venicnt for packing on mules. Among the many advintacs possessed by BAUX & GUIOD'S Pan, are the fellowing:
ho triding cost for attendance; Its small cost; Its portatilIty; The large quantity of pulp lt ean opcrate npon in a getyen time; It may be worked even weeks without stopping,
as it ls construcitcd to work continuously, The compicte
