These Machines Stand Unrivaled,. For rapldly pulveriziag and amaigamating ores, they have noequal. No effort has been, or will be, spared to havo them constructed In the aiost perfect manne:, and of the great number now In operalion, not one has ever reulred repalrs. The constant and facreasing demand for them ls sufficient evidence of their merits, They are constructed so asto apply steam directly into the pulp, or with steaai botloms, as desired. This Amalgamator Operates as Follows; The pan belng fitled, the motion of the muller forces the pulp to the ceuter, where itis drawn down throngl the aperturo and between the grinding snriaces, Thenee it is thrown to the perlphery into the quicksilver, The curved plates again draw it to the center, where it passes down, and tothe efvcumference as belore. Thus It is constantly passing In a regular llow between the grludlug surfaces und nito the Mitcksilver, uutll the ore is reduced to an Impalpable powder, nnd the metal amalgamated. Setlers mude on the sume principle excel ali others.— They bring the pulp so constantly aud porlcetly In centact with quicksiiver, that tbe parti¢les ure rapidly and com pletely absorbed.
