HALL'S DRY PULVERIZER. Tho necompanying engraving represents n novel mill for pulverizing ore to no impalpahle powder in n dry condition; und from the reports of its practien! operation where it is now in use, nt the New York Quartz Company’s Works, 48 East Twenty-sixth street, New York, it appears to be a suceess. The geueral design of the maclhino is, to pulverize ore, or other material, in an air-tight chamher, aud separate the fine from the coarse by blowing it out into n receiver, by means of n fan blower. Iu this way the fine particles, ns fast as produced, will be euried olf, leaving only the eoarsor purticles, to be further operated upon . Ly the machine.In this machine the Chilion wheels and the Sponish norrastras are euiployed in nn ordinary enst-iron pon. The crushing surfaces ot the wheels and arrastras are made convex, with a corresponding concave valley in which they travel, the working surfaeces being of Franklinite iron. A & domo, B, of sbeet-iron, is made to ¢over the crushing ond pulverizing apparatus, nnd secured to the flange = of tho pan, allowing space for the machinery to revolve. ‘Iho moterinl to be crushed is led into the maehine through the hopper, C, whieh is provided with two doors, one orly ot which is opened at a timo to prevent the eseape of the nir and dust. ‘Tho air passes from the blower through the tube, D, aud enters a pipe, A, which surrounds the lower part of the pan. From this pipe there are thirty or forty fivecighths-ineh holes leading into the pan, directly under the crushing wheels, which conduct the air in jets, aud atir up the ore, nnd coustantly keep the coarse separated from the fine powder, whieh is carried out through the spout, E. ‘The reeeiver into which the dust is carried should he go large and so high aa to nllow the dust to settle and not be carried off. The wheels are moved by means of bovelgearing connected with tbe upright shaft, H, shown by part of the dome being broken away, which carries nround the wheels, while they are tree to rise and fall without cramping. This is effected by a double funnel-shaped hole through the centre of the axle, while the arms which bear against the axle are secured to the shaft. The hand-wheel, J, bears against a rubber spring, I, which ean be screwed down to incrense the pressure of the wheols whon desired, thus enabling the operator to gouge the crushing power of the wheels to eorrespond with the driving power of the eugino. The general features of this proeess of ernshing and separnting ore are upplicable to the ordinary stamp-mill which bas been patented by the somo invontor, nnd was praetieally demonstrated by him in Colorado ‘Territory in 1860. The power necessnry to drive one of these mills, including blower, will not exceed five horses. It will crush the hurdest roek to absolute flour, nt the rnte of two-nnd-n-half tons per day, whilst the wear of machinery is senreoly’ LSS ANOTHER MINING SOHOOL.
