Tue Diamonp Hunt at Owvsee. —The
Owyhee Avalanche, speaking of the progress of
the diamond excitement in that vicinity, says :
From recent remarks we have heard, confidential confahs seen among owners of claims,
letters received from San Francisco, and a sudden stampede for the district, we do not
think we can err much in saying that the recent
diamond fxr ore is proving 2 magnificent reality.
Tn truth, the actual existence of diamonds in
our country has at no time heen doubted hy
our hest informed citizens who gave the suhject
careful attention. Many men delight in crying
down the new discovery; some scout it hecause they have neither the intelligence nor
energy to ascertain truth, and wish to essume
a species of prominence. Diamonds, especially
in their crude state, would not he picked up in
the street hy one man in a hnndred—more
likely one ina thousand. How ahsurd and
stultifying to pronounce a discovery a humhug
without heing ahle to give a sensihle reason
therefor. A great auxiliary to success in husiness is secrecy, and the more vital or valuable
the ohject sought the greater the secrecy. It
is for this reason we believe the present agitation to he founded on anthoritative knowledge. A gentleman who has given the subject
studious attention informs us that diamonds of
the first water have heen found during the
recent excitement, and that not a reasonable
douht exists as to their plentifulness. It has
been our aim to represent facts not fancy, and
accordingly have kept our eyes and ears open,
and have thus hecome convinced that Owyhee
county is rich in diamonds. Without these,
we have therichest known mineral region in
the United States, and it would he folly to get
up false impressions when the merit onr camp
Possesses is almost excessive.
Delays ure Dangernas.—Inventors on the Pacific
Coast sbould bear in mind tbat by patronizing our Patent
Agency they can sign all necessary papers tor securilg patents almost immediately, thereby avolding tbe three
month’s delay requisite in transacting bnalness through
Eastern agencies.
important to Callfornians.—Many Inventors have
lately had their claims for Patents serlously (and in some
cases fatally)delayed by the unqualification of agents who
have not complied witb the Oovernmentlicense and revenue
laws, as well as other new and imperative regulations,
These discrepancies, Blbousy arising trom the luexpericnes
of bonest agents, are nonc the less dangerous to apnicants
for patents, whose safest course fs to trust their business
with none but active and experlenced sollcltors. THE MinING ann SCIENTIFIC PREss Patent AGENcy has strictly complied with the requisitions of the Department, and properly
filed all necessary papers as Clalm Agents.

THE EXCELSIOR
GRINDER AND AMALGAMATOR,
In the aes herewith presented, A represents the Rim of the
Pan; B, MuHler; C,

Legs; D, Cross-Frame; E, Gearing; F, Screw;
The relative grinding capacities of “The Excelsior” Grinder
and Amalgamator, of the Flat Bottomed Pan, and of the Conical
Pan when properly constructed, are respectively 177, 98 and 110.
That is, the respective mullers heing of the same diameter,
same weight, same hardness, and running at the same velocity
“The Excelsior Grinder and Amalgamator” will reduce one hnn+
dred 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.
has been attained in no other than that of the Tractory form—nor
Uniform wear of the grinding plates
Another property of excellence in this machine is that the metal
or substance to he amalgamated passes direct from the grinding
surfaces into the quicksilver; thus excluding the possibility of its
hecoming coated with any foreign substances, after having heen
burnished. It is truthfully said “that the Tractory-formed Pan
as a Grinder has no equal, and as an Amalgamator no superior,”
As a whole, it is far superior to auy other pan in use.
