238 Bhe Mining antl Scientific Bress, THE EXCELSIOR GRINDER AND AMALGAMATOR, Inthe engraving herewith presented, A represents the Rim of the E, Gearin. G, Lever; H, Dash-Boards; I, Key; a, Dies ; c, Shoes, and 0, 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 mullers being of the same diameter, same weight, same hardness, and running at the same velocity “The Excelsior Grinder and Amalgamator”’ will reduce one hundred ond seventy-seven tons of ore, the Flat Bottomed Pan one buodred and eighteen tons, and tbe Conical Pau 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 grindtog surfaces in the 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 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 hurnished. 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 far superior to any otber pan in nse. MANUFACTURED AT THE Union Iron Works and Golden State Iron Works, WHEELER & RANDALL, Inventors. . The nndersiened having had seyeral years of experience in practicnl quartz mining operations, will ever take grent pleasure in furnishing parties interested in mining and machinery any desired information which they may possess. 3 F, SerewYOUNG MEN WANTED!

These Machines Stand Unrivaled. For rapidly pulverizing and amalgamating ores, they have noequal, No effort has been, or wilibe, spared to have them constructed in the most perfeet manner, and of the great number now in operation, nat one has everrecult repairs. The constant and increasing demand tor them is snflicient cvidence of their merits. They are constructed so asto apply steam directly into the pulp, or with steam bottoms, as desired. This Amalgamator Operates as Follows: The pan belng filled, the motlon of the muller forces the pulp to the center, where itis drawn down throngh the oe erture and between the grinding surfaces, Thence it is thrown to the periphery luto the quicksllver. The curved plates again draw it to the center, where it passes down, andtothe cireumference as before. Thusit is constantly assing in a regular fow between the grinding surlaces und into the quicksilver, until the ore 1s reduced to an impailpable powder, and the metal amalgamated, Setlers nade on the same principle excel all others,— They bring the pulp so constantiy and perfectly in ecoutact with quicksilver, that the parieles are rapidly and com pletely absorbed, Mill men are invited to examine tbese pans and setlers for theniselves, at the PACIFIC FOUNDRY, lvl San Franeiseo, LEEPER EL’s American Double Turbine WATER ma GG GC @ & .4 HIS WHEEL, WICH HAS HAD THE “most unprecedented saie ot any water-wheel ever made, and which has given unusual satisfactlon wbenever used, is now tor sale by KNAPP & GRANT, 310 Washiugton street, San Franciseo. where persons desiring to use waterpower enn be supplied.
