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.

PATENT AMALGAMATOR.
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,
