The machine consists of a set of copper ilius soldered together, the whole making one big tank with sloping slop-ing sides and n series of projecting rings where the iltns come together. The tank Is silver plated nnd then painted with quick silver to catch the gold as It comes In contucL with the sides. Tho slimes nro kept In motion mo-tion In the water by means of paddles, pad-dles, operated by centrifugal forco nnd thus every particle has a chance to touch the sides of the tnnk where the quick silver catches and holds the gold. The tanks go In sets of three nnd so constructed and connected that tho water and slimes pass from one to each other. A thorough test will be mndo of the machlno next week nnd If It docs whnt Its proprietors hope for It, many will be put on the market.
