GRINDER AND AMALCAMATOR, In the engraving herewith presented, A represents the Rim of the Pan; B, Muller; 6G, Legs; D, Cross-Frame; E, Gearing; F, Screw; G, Lever; H, Dash-Boarda; I, Key; a, Dies; c, Shoes, and o, Openings, . The relative grinding capacities of “The Excelsior” Grinder and Amalgamator, of the Flat Bottomed Pan, and of the Conical Pan when properly constructed, ave 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 Amaigamator” will reduce one hundred and seventy-seven tons of ore, the Flat Bottomed Pan ninetyeight tons, and the Conical Pan one hundyed 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 nniform, thus securing evenness of reduction to the pulp, as well as steadiness of motion to the muller, bas heen 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 suhstance to be amalgamated passes direct from the grinding surfaces intd the quicksilver, thus excluding the possihility of its hecoming coated with any forei burmiished. It is truthfully said “that the Tractory-formed Pan Grinder has no equal, and as an Anialgamator no supeérior.” As a whole, it is far superior to any other pan in use. “ suhstances, after having heen MANUFACTURED AT THE Union Tron Works and Golden State Iron Works, WHEELER & RANDALL, Inventors, The undersigned having"had several years of experience in practical quartz mining operations, will ever take great plcasure in furnishing parties interested in mining and machinery any desired information which they may possess.
