V4 Ghe Mining and Srientific Dress, THE EXCELSIOR GRINDER AND AMALGAMATOR, herewith presented, A represents the Rim of the E, Gearing ; F, Screw ; G, Lever; H, Dash-Boards; I, Key; @, Dies; c, Shoes, and o,; In the engravin, Pan; B, Muller; C, Legs; D, Cross-Frame; 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 muillers being of the same diameter, same weight, same hardness, and running at the same velocity “Tho Excelsior Grinder and Amalgamator”’ will reducc one hun» dred and scventy-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 finéncss 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 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. can it be, Another property of excclicncs in this machine is that the metal or substance to be amalgamated passes direct from the grinding surfaces into the quicksilver; thus oxcluding the possibility of its becoming coated with any foreign substances, after having been It is truthfully said “that the Tractory-formed Pan as a Grinder has no equal, and as an Amalgamator no superior.” As a whole, it is fur superior to any other pan in nse. burnished, MANUFACTURED AT THE Union Iron Works and Golden State Iron Works, WHEELER & RANDALL, Inventors.

VARNE WS PATENT AMALGAMATOR. These Machines Stand Unrivaicd. La For rapidly pniverizing and amalgamating ores, they have noequal, No effort has been, or will be, spared to have them construeted in the most perfect manner, and of the great bumber now in operation, not one has everrewired repairs. The constant and inereasing demand for them is sufficient evidenee of their merils. They are constructed so asto apply steam dlreetly into the pulp, or witi steam bottoms, as desired. This Amalgamator Operates as Follows: The pan being filled, the motion of themulier forces the “pulp to the center, where itis drawn down throngh the aperture and between the grinding surlaces, Thence it is thrown to the periphery into the quicksilver. The eurved Plates again drawit to the center, where it passes down, and lo the cireumference as before. Thus itis constantiy” passing in a regular flow between the grinding surtaces ani Into the qnicksiiver, untii the ore is reduced 10 an impaipabie powdcr, and tiie inctal amalgamated, Setlers made on the same principle exeel all others.— They bring the pulp so constantiy and perfectly in eontact with quicksilver, lbat the particles are rapidly and com pletely absorhed, Mili men are Inyited to examine these pans and setlers for themselves, at the PACIFICO FOUNDEY, byl San Francisco.

Mill men will find it to their advantage to employ these pans as Separators, in addition to the ordinary Amalgaturs now in use, and to re-work their old tallings. The cost of these pans is inconsiderable, and their structure is such that they can be readily separated in parts convenient for pee ne: on mules. Among the many advantaes possessed by BAUX & GUIOD’S Pan, are the following: ‘ine trifling cost for attendance: Its small eost; Its ortabllity; The large quantity of pulp ifean operate upon in a given time; It may be worked cven weeks withont stopping, as it is constructed to work continnously; The complete thgroughness of the separation of the rock from the metals antl the trifling power required to work them; They can be attached to any ordinary crushing apparalus.
