No effort bos becn, or will be, apared to bave them coustructed In the most perfeet manner, and of the great nuinber now In epcration, not one has ever reulred repairs. The constant aad increasing dcmand for then: is suifielent evidence of their merits. They are constructed so iste apply steam directly into the pulp, or with steam hottems, as desired. This Amelgamator Operates as Follows: The pan belng filled, the motlon of the muller. forces the pulp to the eenter, where it Is drawn down throngh the Bp: ertire and between the grindlug surfaces. Thence It ig thrown to the periphery lnto the quleksilver, The curved plates agai draw It to the eenter, where It passes down, and to the clreumference as beforc. Thus it is constantly assing Ina regular flow between the grinding surfaces and nto the-quicksitver, until the ore is reduced to an Impalpable pewder, and the metal amalgamated. a Setlers made on the samo prinelple cxccl all others. one bring the pulp so constantly and portectly in contact ‘with quicksilver, that tho particles are rapidly and com pletely absorbed. . a Mii men are juvlted to oxaminc these pans and sctlers for themsclycs, at the PACIFIC, FOUNDRY, IvI San Franciseo: _: ai Prater’s Patent Concentrator (Known as HUNCERFORD & PRATER'S Concentrator,) MANUFACTURED AT TUB San Francisco Foundry and Steam Engine Works, Corner Fremont and BMixslon Streets, All orders promptly attended to. 2v12 DEVOE, DINSMORE & CO. “ UNTS PATENT Circular Sweep Horse-Powers, Grindstanes, . pone water, sawing wood, and 6tner Nght machinery.” } Price, S100, at the Factory.

No effort bos becn, or will be, apared to bave them coustructed In the most perfeet manner, and of the great nuinber now In epcration, not one has ever reulred repairs. The constant aad increasing dcmand for then: is suifielent evidence of their merits. They are constructed so iste apply steam directly into the pulp, or with steam hottems, as desired. This Amelgamator Operates as Follows: The pan belng filled, the motlon of the muller. forces the pulp to the eenter, where it Is drawn down throngh the Bp: ertire and between the grindlug surfaces. Thence It ig thrown to the periphery lnto the quleksilver, The curved plates agai draw It to the eenter, where It passes down, and to the clreumference as beforc. Thus it is constantly assing Ina regular flow between the grinding surfaces and nto the-quicksitver, until the ore is reduced to an Impalpable pewder, and the metal amalgamated. a Setlers made on the samo prinelple cxccl all others. one bring the pulp so constantly and portectly in contact ‘with quicksilver, that tho particles are rapidly and com pletely absorbed. . a Mii men are juvlted to oxaminc these pans and sctlers for themsclycs, at the PACIFIC, FOUNDRY, IvI San Franciseo: _: ai Prater’s Patent Concentrator (Known as HUNCERFORD & PRATER'S Concentrator,) MANUFACTURED AT TUB San Francisco Foundry and Steam Engine Works, Corner Fremont and BMixslon Streets, All orders promptly attended to. 2v12 DEVOE, DINSMORE & CO. “ UNTS PATENT Circular Sweep Horse-Powers, Grindstanes, . pone water, sawing wood, and 6tner Nght machinery.” } Price, S100, at the Factory.
