‘14 Gwe Wining avl Seientitic Dress. THE EXCELSIOR GRINDER AND AMALGAMATOR, In the engraving herewith presented, A represents the Rim of the (o Cross-¥rame; HE, Gearing ; G, Lever; H, Dash-Boards; 1, Key; a, Dies; c, Shoes, and 0;_ Pan; B, Muller; C, Legs; D, Openings, The relative grinding eapacitios of “The Exeelsior” Grinder and Amalgamator, of the Flat Bottomed Pan, and of the Conical: Pan when properly constructed, are respectively 177, 118 and 182. That is, the respeetive mullers being of the same diameter, same weight, same hardness, and running at the same velocity “The Excelsior Grinder and Amalgamator” will reduee one bundred and seventy-seven tons of ore, the Flat Bottomed Pan one hundred and eigbteen 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 Sboes and Dies at their grinding surfacesin the Exeelsior Grinder and Amalganiator, is perfectly uniform, thus seeuring evenness of reduction to tbe pulp, as well as steadiness Uniform wear of tbe grinding plates has been attained in no other than tbat of the Tractory form—nor of motion to tbe muller. can it be. Another property of exeellenee in this machine is that tbe metal ‘or substance to be amalgamated passes direct from the grinding surfaces into the quicksilver; thus exeluding the possibility of its becoming coated witb any foreign substanees, after baving been burnished. It is truthfully said “tbat the Tractory-formed Pan ‘as a Grinder bas no equal, and as an Amalgamator no superior,” As a whole, 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 quartz mining operations, will ever take great pleasnre in furnishing parties interested in miming and machinery any desired information which they may possess.

These Machines Stand Unrivaled, For rapidly pulverizing and amalgamating eres, they have noequal, No effort has been, or wiilbe, spared to ‘have them constructed in tho most perfect manner, and of the great number now in operition, not oue has everrewired repairs. The constant and increasing, demand tor ent 1s suftieient cyvidence of tlear merils. r Tbey are constructed se as#o apply stcam dlreetly into , the pulp, or with steam bottoms, as desired. This Amalgamator Operates as Follows: , The pan belng filied, the motion of the muller forces the ‘pnip to the center, where itis drawn down throngh tho ie értiro and between the grindlug surfaces. Theuee ‘it Is ‘thrown to the poriphery into the quicksilver. The curved plates again draw it to.the center, wherc it passes down, Gnd to the ecivenmference as before. Thus itis constantly passing in a regular flow between the grinding surfaces and nto the quicksliver, until ihe ore is veduecd to an impalpable powder, aud the metal amalxamated. * Setlers made on the same principle cxee! all others.— They bring the pulp so constantiy and perfectly In contaet ‘with quicksilver, that the partivles arc rapidly and com pletely absorbed, Mill men are Invited to examine theso pans and setlers for themselves, at the PACIFIC FOUNDRY, im .
