352 The Wining and Scientific Press, NEW PATENTS AND INVENTIONS. Under this heading we shall mention, from week to week, as occasion may demand, New and Important Inventions; aiso, the List of Patent Claims recently issued from the U.S. Patent Office to inventors on the Pacific Coasr, and other Patent Issues which we deem of local 1nterest to readers on this side of the Continent. Most Patents on this coast are secured through the MINING AND SCIENTIFIC PRESS PATENT AGENCY. Weare nrepered to oblain from Washington, with despatch, copies of any Patent issued. PATENTS RECENTLY ISSUED. Water Wure.—Adolphus Lind, San Francisco, Cal.: Tbis invention relates to an improvement in the Jonval Water Wheel; by which it may be made to accommodate itself to dry seasons, with the least loss of power and trouble in adjustment. With this improvement there is no occasion to stop the wheel at all for adjustment ; while it can be made to use more or less water in proportions of from one to five. 3 Wasaine Macainr,—Alexander Badlam, Sen,, San Francisco, Cal.: ‘This invention relates to certain combinations and arrangements ot a water-hox underneath the wash-hoard ; of metal dogs, worked hy slots, set screws and nuts, hy which the proper pressure is ohtained npon the clothes by raising or lowering the movahle rubhing board, also two dash-hoards, to prevent tbe inconvenient splashing of the water—the whole constructed and arranged for Joint operations substantially ag descrihed in his application. Quartz Mint Inrroyement.—Cuommings P. Colby, Lancha Plana, Cal.: The nature of this invention relates to the placing of the cam sbafts, used in stamp hatteries, lower or nearer to tbe stamp heads, and attaching to them eccentrics, with collars from whicb extend upright rods, connected with a spring so arranged that the stamp, in falling, will give a quick percussive hlow to the ore in the hattery. By tbis arrangement of stamps and machinery, it is claimed that about three times the number of strokes can he givento the pestles, over tbose attainable in tbe ordinary batteries, where the tappets are placed upon the stamp stems, and worked hy cams; the whole of which is operated without an increase of power, proportioned to that required to ohtain the same work in the ordinary niapner. A simple and convenient set screw arrangement is also introduced by which the stamps may be readily elevated and held at a uniform hight for cleaning out tbe battery. Macuive ror Savinc Goip anp SULPHURETS. M. A. Woodside, Georgetown, Cal.: This invention consists of a revolving or endless hlanket, of canvas or other material, upon which the ore is introduced, as it comes from the battery of a quartz mill, through a perforated feed-box; a pipe, perforuted upon its under side, and extending across tbe hlanket admitsa sbower jet of water sufficient to distribute tbe pulp over the same, and carry off the ligbt sand down the upper side of tbe hlanket, contrary to its motion, to the waste way; while the sulphurets and gold being heavier, are carried upward, as tbe blanket revolves, and are dropped therefrom into a box underneath. In order to secure their removal from the blanket, a revolving brnsh is made to revolve against the surface of the same, during its under revolution, by which any gold or sulphurets which may not fall off from the effects of gravity, may be brushed therefrom into the hox aforesaid. Tbis arrangement is intended to obviate the necessity of tbe tedions process of washing the hlankets byhand. The inventor claims the endless blanket and revolving brush when arranged substantially as described and for the purposes set forth ; also the perforated feed-box nnd water pipe, when nrranged nud employed forthe purpose specified. Eacb of the above patents were obtained through the Mining anp Screntiric Press Patent AGENCY. Patents can be obtained for citizens _on this Coast through the Mrxine anp Sctentiric Press PatENT AGENCY, in one half the time it takes to operate through Eastern agents. ¥rom our familiarity wlth the subject of most Caliornia inventions, and the benefit arising trom personal explanations, we are prepared te present cialms with pray aceuraey than conid reasonably be expected of istuntagents.
