That is, the respective mullers being of the same diameter, same weight, same hardness, and running at the same velocity “The Excelsior Grinder and Amalgamator’? will reduce ons hundred and seventy-seven tons of ore, the Flat Bottomed Pan ninetyeight tons, and the Conical Pan one hundred and ten tons to the same degree of fineness in the same time. The wear to the Shoes and Dies at their grinding surfaces in the Excelsior Grinder and Amalgamator, is perfectly uniform, thus securing evenness of reduction to the pulp, as well as steadiness of motion to the muller. Wniform wear of the grinding plates has been attained in no otber than that of the Tractory form—nor can it he, Another property of excellence in this machine is that the metal or substance to be amalgamated passes direct from the grinding surfaces into the quicksilver; thus excluding the possibility of its becoming coated with any foreign substances, after having been burnished. It is truthfully said “that tbe Tractory-formed Pan
as a Grinder has no equal, and as an Amalgamator no superior.” As a whole, it is far superior to any other pan in use.
