Mr. Longley olstained his first patent, March Ist, 1864. The engraving we give to-day represeuts an improvement in the original invention, which consists in the nse of a wormwheel instead of a pinion and spur-wheel, to inercuse the force applied iu lifting. ‘The upparntus, ns now constrocted, was first described in the New York Artisan of March 28, 1866, ns follows: The lifting-chain posses over differential pnlleys or chain-wheels, F E, so that, in lifting, ths ‘smaller unwinds as the larger winds up, and the effective lift at each turn is equal to half the difference between the circumferences of the two pulleys. Motion is giveu to the chain-wheels by the screw, C,acting uu the wormwheel, D, which is fixed on the same shaftas the chain-wheels. ‘Thescrew is turned by the chain-pulley, B, which is fixed upon the screw-shaft. The hand-chain or rope is eudless. A\s one turn of the luud-chaia pulley, G, turns the worm-wheel, D, one tooth; und one turn of the wormwheel lifts the load through a space equal to half the differcnce of the circumferentes of the chain-wheels, aud as this difference may be as amull as required, aud the pitch of the scrcw aud worm-wheel may be fine, and the palley of the haud-chain wheel may be large, it is evident that a great lifting power can he attained with these few simple parts, aud that very heavy loads may be lifted by the apparatus. When lowering the sheave-block, G, the warm-screw is disengaged from the worm-wheel, so that it may be run down fast, And when lifting weights less than 4 tou it may be left disengaged ; and the lifting tay bs done by hauling upon the loop of ths moin lifting chain; and thus a quick movement muy be given for light work, or a slow 5. morement for heavy work, merely by pulling a ond nngears the screw and worm-wheel. chain, or rope, will lift a ton.

Tue Pyramin Mrine,—This mine, which is situated four miles north of Shingle Springs, El Dorado connty, has recently changed huads for the snm of $30,000. The purchaser, Capt. J. D. Woodworth, well known as oue of our Most enterprising bnsiuess men, will proceed at once to the erection of machinery, aud toke ths necessary steps toward its immediate development ; being well satiafied, from a test of the rock, with his bargain. The claim consista of 3,500 feet, and has n water power cotnected with it capable of rnuning a 40-stamp mill. The outcrop of the lode is at, least fifty feet in width, aud the quarté contains much free gold well diffused throughont the lode. We nnderstand that the rock can be pnt into the mill at about $L pertou. Our correspondent recently visited the miue, aud writes of it as followa: “ The ledge which crops ont in several places, in large shoots or chimneys, is well PATENT HOISTING APPARATUS. ‘ lifted for every ponnd wsight applied to the , defined by almost perpendicnlar walls, being at haod-chain. Mechanics who have used this, least seven feet in width at one poiut where it apparatus agree that it is more efficient, aud) had been opened by a shaft of thirty feet in more easily adaptable to either heavy or licht depth. Itis knowa to contain fine gold in work than any other apparatus of equal weight quantities vnrying from $5 to $35 per ton, aud portability. The weight of a 1-ton uppar-. having worked up to the higher fignres here atns, to lift 15 feet high, is bat 63 lbs. It can/ g . throngh the rock, of which thers nppear to be thonsands of tons thrown up here above the surfoce.

The parties interested in ths mins expect aoon to avail themselves of the nd vantages here claimed, and will be able, I trust, in ashort tims to open up one of the most valnable, as it now ia one of the largest, claims in the county.” (Reported for the Mining and Sefentifie Press} California Academy of Natural Sciences.
