Company Organized for Maoufie'ure and Machine Claimed lo be a Succeu. The Hex MnuurirHuiIng commuy,nr Oakland, California, has recently been orugulxed for (ho iiiiiuufai'turo of tho l'uliuor Amalgamator, a newly Mitiiiti'l iiiucliluo. It Ih (Ii'mtIInhI iih follews: It stands about four feet in height and Ih four feet Niiuro. It has a perpendicular cup cylinder at tho upper end of which Ih a cup six Inches deep liy six Inchon across and the whole runs at a speed of 'JO, 00 revolutions per minute. At tho top of the cup on the lusldo is an iron baud or lliiugo about 4H of an Inch thick by one Inch In width, while on the outside is a conical shoulder four inches wide. Inside this cup is placed live pounds of quicksilver, which, the cylinder revolves, Is distributed upwardly toward tho limine at the top. Tailings aro fed to the cup through a spout and between this spout and the rim of the cup is a space of about an inch, leaving room for tho water and slime to pass out after the gold has been taken up by the quicksilver. The principle is that all particles of gold and tho lino gold Is forced into contact with tho quulksllvcr before reaching tho tlaiigo at the top. When tho motor power Is shut oir the aumlgam falls to the bottom of the cup aud is poured out. Around the cylinder is a wooden hood which compels the waste and water to pass away through a waste pipe. A two-h. p. motor will run tho machine, using up three tons of pulverized ore per hour. Recently a machine was thoroughly tost is I at the Lightueer mine near Angels Camp, aud received a very high commendation from Mr. Alex Chambers tho supereluteudeut, MACS LUCK HEARD FROM.
