Openings,
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, 118 and 132,
That is, the respective mullers being of the same diamcter,
same weight, same hardness, and running at the same velocity
“The Excelsior Grinder and Amalgamator’” will reduce one hundred and seventy-seven tons of ore, the Flat Bottomed Pan one
hundred and eighteen tons, and the Conical Pan one hundred and
thirty-two 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 aniform, thus
securing evenness of reduction to the pulp, as well as steadiness
Uniform wear of the grinding plates.
has been attained in no other than that of the Tractory form—nor
of motion to the muller.
ean it be.
Another property of excellence in this machine is that the metal
or suhstance to be amalgamated passes direct from the grinding
surfaces into the qnicksilver ; thus exclnding the possihility of its
becoming coated with any foreign substances, after having been
hurnished. It is truthfully said “that the Tractory-formed Pan
as a Grinder has no equal, and as an Amalpamator no superior.”
As a whole, it is far superior to any other pan in use.

This Valuable Invention
Is FAST FINDING ITS WAY INTO GENERAL USE, NOT
Dy means of combination ol eapltal and infiluenes, but
on the strength of its ow» merits
that what ls known to be good will be appreelated. Practleal men acknowledge the UNION PAN to be seicnilfie, the
best, the cheapest, and most profitable, It now stands first
on the list of all paus In use tor the purpose of
Working Gold and Silver Oren.
Ithas been found that a tow elass of ores, algo tnillngs
from Mills, Sulphurets, ete,, that wlll not pay to work with
the common pans, may be worked with thls and obtain
large profits. The UNION PAN ls manufuetured in two
sizes, and capable of operailng upon large quantities of
ore in the most effielent manner.

BAUX & GUIODS
Separator & Amalgamator
isthe most Important Improvement in_mining machinery
everintroduced. It was awarded the FIRST PREMIUM at
the San Franeiseo Mechanles! Fair for 1864, where It proved
Itself to be the best Separatorand Amalgamator among all
the competitors. Constructed on pr whieh combine
Seinxtirio KNowLengt with Practica, Exreriencr, these
Pons extract nore gold and sllyer trom tbelr ores than an
others In use, as afew bours trial will demonstrate. Mill
men will find lt to thelr advantage to employ these pans as
Separators, in additlon to the ordinary Amalgators now In
use, and to re-work their old tailings.
The eost of these pans Is iIneconsiderable, and their structure is such that they ean be readily separated in parts eonvenient for eS ontmules, Among the many advantaes possessed by BAUX & GUIOD'S Pan, are the tollowing:
he trifling cost for attendance; Its small eost; Its portability; The large quantity of pulp itean operate upon in a given time; It may be worked even weeks without stopplug,
as it is constructed to work continuously; The econplete
thoroughness of the separation of the reck from the metals
and the trifling power required to work them; They can be
attached to any ordinary crushing apparatus.
We have the pleasure of referrlng parties Interested to
the following parties, who have our Pun in nse: Jeffersonian Mining Company, Bowmnn's Ranch, Nevada county;
The French Mill, Nevada City; Crall’s Gravel Cement
