13. Description and Sketch of a Model of a Five-Stamp
Quartz Mill (model built by Union Iron Works Co., San Francisco, and
displayed in the California Division of Mines Library, Ferry Building,
San Francisco).
"The course of the ore, as indicated by the line of
arrows, begins where it is dumped from the mine car upon the GRIZZLY
(1). The fine ore falls through and slides into the ORE BIN (3), while
the large pieces slide down to the platform and are fed into the CRUSHER
(2), from which it falls into the BIN (3). From the Bin the ore goes to
the FEEDER AND STAMPS (4). Part of the gold is amalgamated in the
stamps. The crushed material passes out over the COPPER APRON TABLE (5)
to which the amalgam adheres. Upon passing from the apron the pulp drops
into the AMALGAM TRAP (11), from which an iron pipe conveys it to the
CONCENTRATING TABLE (7), which separates the heavy materials, such as
sulphides, from worthless tailings. The concentrates are caught at the
TANK (8), while the tailings pass off over the lower end of the TABLE
(9) the CLEAN UP BARREL (6) is used to separate amalgam from the crushed
pulp collected in the mortar. MOTOR (10)."
