IMPROVED PATENTED
Hardened Cast Steel Shoes & Dies.
Tbe undersigned are prepared, at short notice, to furnish IMPROVED PATENTED HARDENED CAST
STEEL SHOES AND DIES, for Quartz Mills of every
pattern. This improvement supplies a want long
needed hy persons engaged in Mining enterprisea.
They are more economical and cheaper than casr
IRON SHOES, as they wear from four to six times as long,
and crush 4 greater quantity, as they retain their full
diameter, never chipping from the edges. This, with
the time aaved in repiacing worn and hroken iron Shoes
and Dies, and the great saving of frelght to remote mills
and mines, makes a yast difference in the cost of re.
ductlon of ores.
WE ALSO FURNISH
Cast Steel Tappets, Cams,

Which possess the same advantage of Economy and
Durahility, and deserve the special attentlon of

ptance of the HALLIDIE TRAMWAY put
up hy yon upon our mine in Freihurg.
It is a perfect succesa, discharging ten tons of ore per
hour with two men’s labor. It is perfectly simple in
construction, and, as far as I can judge, there is nothing
ahout lt to ever get out of order— nothing to wear out.
While ours requires but abouttwo thousand five hun.
dred feet of wire rope, I can see no reason why the line
could not be extended almost indefinitely with equally
happy resuits. Again, the carrying capacity might he
douhied or quadrupled If desired. After several weeks
triai upon onr mins, the unanimoua verdict of all who
have seen it 1s a complete, unquestioned success, If
this can be of any service to you, use it in any way you
think proper. Very respectfully, 0.0. GOODWIN.
