126 The Mining and Scientific Dress. THE EXCELSIOR GRINDER AND AMALGAMATOR, In the engraving herewith presented, A representa the Rim of the , Lega; D, Cross-Frame; E, Gearing ; F, Screw } G, Lever; H, Dash-Boards; I, Key; a, Dies; ¢, Shoes, and 0; Pan; B, Muller; 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 ssme diameter, same weight, same hardness, and running at the same velocity “The Excelsior Grinder and Amalgamator” will rednce one hnndred 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 tbe Excelsior Grinder and Amalgamator, is perfectly uniform, thus sccuring 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. can it be. Another property of excellence in this machine is that the metal or substance to be amalgamated passes direct from the grinding surfaces into the quicksilver; thus excluding the possibility of its becoming coated with any foreign substances, after having been burnished. It is truthfully said “that the Traetory-formed Pan as a Grinder has no equal, and as an Amalgamator no superior.” As a whol, it is far superior to any other pan in use. MANUFACTURED AT THE Union Iron Works and Golden State Iron Works, WHEELER & RANDALL, Inventors. The undersigned having had several years of experience in practical will ever take great pleasure in furnishing parties interested in mining and machinery any desired information quartz mining operations, which they may possess. f PASS Te pea I} COPPA ET ETEE SUN ' Machinery. VARNEY’S PATENT AMALGAMATOR. These Machines Stand Unrivaled. For rapidly pulverizing and amalgamating ores, they have noequal. No effort has been, or willbe, spared to haye them constructed in the most perfect manner, and of the great number now In operation, not one has eyerroquired repairs, The constant and increasing demand for them ls sufliclent evidence ot thelr merits. 4 ‘bey are constructed so asto apply steam directly into the pulp, or witb steam bottoms, as desired. This Amalgamator Operates as Follows: The pan belng filled, the motlon of the mnller forces the pulp to the center, where It is drawn down throngh the aperture and between the grinding surfaces. Thence it is thrown to the periphery into the quicksilver. Tho curved Plates again draw it to the center, where It passes down, and tothe circumferenee as before, Thus It is lor au assing in 2 regular flow between the grinding suriaces ani mto the quicksilver, untli the ore Is rednced to an Impaipable powder, and the metal amalgamated. Setlers mnde on the same principle excel all others— They bring the pulp so constantly and pertectly In contact with quicksilver, that the particles are rapidly and eom pletely absorbed. Mill men are invited to examino these pans and setlers for themselves, at the PACIFIC FOUNDRY, lvl San Francisco.

Mill men will find lt to thelr advantaze to employ these pans as Separators, in addition to the ordinary Amalgaturs now In use, and to re-work their old taillngs. . The cost of these pans is Inconsiderable, and thetr structure is sueh that they can be readily separated In parts eonvenient for pach ine o mules, Among the many advantaFes possessed by BAUX & GUIOD'S Pan, are the following: he trifling cost for attendance, Its smal eost; Its portability, The large quantity ot pully t cat operate Upon in a giv. eu time, It may be worked cyen wecks without stopping, as it is constricted to work continuonsly, The complete thoroughuess of the separation of the rock from the metals and the trifling power required to work them; They can be attnehed to any ordinary crushing apparatus. have the pleasure of referring parties interested to the following partles, who have onr Pan In_use:_ Jefferson. lan Minne Company, Bowman's Ranch, Nevada county; The Freneh Mill, Nevada City; Cratl's Gravel Cement Works, Nevada county, Waltman's Chlorination Works, Nevada, Cal.; Gold Fill Quartz Mill, Washoe.
