30 Ge Mining and Seientitic Drees. THE EXCELSIO R GRINDER AND AMALGAMATOR, In the engraying herewith presented, A represents Pan; B, Muller; 0 G, Lever; H, Dash-Boards; I, Key; a, Dies; c, Openings, The relative grinding capacities of “The Excel and Amalgamator, of the Flat Bottomed Pan, and of the Conical Pan when properly constructed, are respectively 177, 118 and 1382. That is, ihe respective mullers being of tbe sa same weight, same hardness, and running at the same velocity “The Excelsior Grinder and Amalgamator” will reduce one hundred 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 The wear to the Shoes and Dies at their grinding 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 he amalgamated passes direct from surfaces into the quicksilver ; thus excluding the possibility of its hecoming coated with any foreign substances, ufter hnrnished. 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 auy other pan in 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 teke great pleasure in furnishing parties interested in mining and machinery any desired information which they may possess. » Legs; D, Cross-Frame; E, Gearing ; F, Screw ; the Rim of the Shoes, and 0, sior” Griuder me diameter, same time. i : the grinding having been use, a) = 3 Fr. =) one 3 i Wel NURSES {.

Noefiort has heen, or willbe, spared to bave them eonstructed in the most perfeet manner, and of the great number now in operation, not one has everreuired repairs. The constant and inereasing demand for them is sufficient evidonee of their merits. They sre constructed so asfo apply steam directly Into the pulp, or with sleam bottoms, as desired, This Amalgamator Operates as Follows: The pan being filled, tbe motlon of the muller forces the pulp to the eenter, where itis drawwn down throtgh the aperture and between the grinding surfaces, Thenee it is ‘thrown to the periphery into the quicksliver. The eurved plates again draw it to the center, where it passes down, and tothe eireumference as before. Thusitis constantly passing In a regular flow between the grinding snriaces and ito the quicksilver, until the ore is reduced to an impalpable powder, and the metal amalgamated. Setlers made on the same principle exeel all others — They bring the pulp so constantiy and perfectly ln contact with quicksilver, that tho particles are rapidly and coin pletely absorbed, Mil] men are invited to exainine these pans and setlers for tbemscives, at the PACIFIC FOUNDRY, Tvl San Franeiseo, LERON!
