THE SOCIETY OF ARTS, ADELPIif, LONDON: The 39th volume of the TRANSACTIONS of this admirable INSTITUTION:*e have just received. Froth amongst. the several interesting subjects presented by it to public attention,• we are in duced to select the article, on the discovery of a -QUARR Y , OF MILL-STONE In lIALKIN MOUNTAIN, near Holywell, in Flint Shire. " Hitherto no millstones for grinding wheat at all compar able to the French Buhr had been discovered in Great Britain ; :and in time of war serious inconvenience had been felt from the scanty and uncertain supply nf so essential an article. Mr. Bishop and his partners have had the good fortune to discover, _and the perseverance to tiring into lair trial, a stone which, judging from the speciiner-S bud before the Society, and from very satisfactory testimonials from all the millers who have 'made use of it, bids fair, in a great degree, it' not entirely, to supersede the necessity of having recourse to a foreign and too - . - often hostile country for the means or orepaiing our daily bread." The import Aime :of this .discovery induces us to give immediate insertion in our Journal; to the interesting Paper on ..the subject which has been published by the Society, as we are desirous to draw the attention of the public to a circum stance which must materially contribute to the profitable employment of a useful class of la-. bourers, with great advantage to the farmer and miller, and to the community at large. It is at all times a gratifying part of our public duty, but particularly at the present moment, to give all the facilities, and all the direction. and encou ragement in our power, to the development of the internal resources of the country, and to the extensive employment of its native products and induitry. FLIN'TSH IR I; MILL-STONES. Vie smaller, or Isis GOLD MEDAL, was this Session voted to Mr. W. Sisitor and Co., of Pant y Moch, near Holywell, Flintshire, for their discovery and Introductioll to actual Use of a 3111.1.-sTora: of superior quality, found in Halkin qualities which fits stone for grinding corn, especially wheat, are hardness, to prevent it as much as possible from wear ing down by the constant friction to which it is exposed, a certain degree of tenacity, to prevent the grinding surface from scaling or chipping off, and a cellular structure, in bider to increase the quantity of cutting surface, the walla of the cells being at the same time thick enough to resist'th'e stranrupon them. • ' The advantages hence 'resulting are,- that the flour is in no material degree contaminated by the mixture of' earthy particles abraded from the stones, the grinding is expeditintisly per formed, the bra's is completely disengaged from the flour, and • the dour itself is sexy little heated by passing through, the mill. This latter circumstance is of g r ea t i m p or t ance , i t being found, by experience, that flour over-heated,.. - xiir.Ei), as the tech nical phrase is, will never produce brad so light as that which is grOund cool. - In some parts of the valley of the Seine, and of the adjoining districts in which the fresh-water" limestone occurs, is found it siliceousrock, in detached masses or blocks; of various size, known on the spot. and in commerce by the name of Bulia. it is a . substance intermediate between lurrnstoae and chalce dony, and possessef, in an eminent degree, the qualities which peculiarly fit it for grinding wheat; $ll the fine flour required for the supply of the metropolis-and of the other large towns in this island is prepared by meant of mill-stones of French bull!, cireinnstance which, beside rendering us dependant.' on fia-' reigners for so' essential an article, is the occasion in time of war Of enormously.enhancing the price, and subjecting our millers to great inconvenience. . ' • • • •. The northern shore of the Isle of Wight is the only district in this „country in which the fresh-water limestone has hitherto been found, but it does not appear to contain any buhr-stone. The entrochital .ebert or horn-stone (vulgarly called sciii-Av- STONE) which occurs interstiatified with the mountain lime stone in Derbyshire, as it resembles bulir-stone in quality and totture, has occasionally been made trial - of for a •griliding stbne, but always unsuccessfully on account of its fragility and Softhess;—SEC. , • __ • .In the year 1816,. Mr. Thomas llooson, of Flint, observed On llalkin Mountain a bed of remarkably fine porcelain clay, ,Which, on exposure to the potters' fires, was found to assume a More delicate whiteness than any substance of a sitnilar nature ,hitherto found in this kingdom ; and seeing also other lub stance's which he thought likely to be Useful to the potters; he obtained from Earl Grosvenor a lease of all clays; rocks, arid stones (except lime-stone). withinlds Lordship'S liberties ;• and aubiequently, with. a view to an extended trade, formed his .present partnership with. Richard Fyriney; 'Mr. William Bishop, and Mr. 3ames Whitehead, established under the - iiim - of the " Welsh Company at Nam y Bloch, bear Holy Well," where they have.erected works for preparing the clay, which is called '° Cambria," for sale, by separating it from'a sili ceous sand and rock; with which the bed is found mixed tp a depth at present unknown, 'but which has been proved as deep as 26 yards. The sand, when separated, is used for glass making ; and the white siliceous rock, now called Hock .Cainbna," is ground . doWn and used in the composition of china and earthenware, instead of ground flint, or is mixed with it. For this process of grinding, several thousand tons of c he rt are annually consumed in the. Staffordshire potteries, and much is supplied from Halkin Mountain. In quarrying this chert, some of it in the state ,of vesicular entrochita horn-stone was raised; which,. when Used together with common chest, incli c*ed such a superiority by its expedititzus grinding and its little wear, and showed such a proximity in appearance (after having been worked) to the French buhr that its use for grinding wheat was considered probable; and this led to the first application of the vesicular lialkin rock as a buhr-stone. • • Halkin Mountain .(called " Alchene" at the Conquest, ac cording to. Pennant) is a range of high uncultivated land, in Flintshire; the mineral property of the Right Honourable'Earl GrasVenor. On the island side it runs parallel to the boundary hills of the vale of Clwyd ,• and`nri the north-east stretches from HblyWell for about four miles till nearly opposite Northop, in an angle of about twelve degrees with thu river 'Dee ; and average's atfupt, a mile in breadth. It is composed of mountain lime stone,--with the usually accompanying rocks, and abounds with la* veins containing 'lead ore, blemie, and calamine, with some appearances of copper ; it also'affords a rock of a whitish quartz; well adapted for certain kinds of Mill-stones, for which (according to all our old histnrians) Flintshire has been fanious. B.nt•these quarries had been neglected for niany' years, till lately reopened by the discoverers of the still more valuable buhrs, and promise to regain their celebrity as . grey-stones for' grinding' oats .Zic 'buhr-stone itself; -or :entrochital horn-stone, is found near the middle of the eastern ridge of Halkin mountain, and On the West side of the ridge; into which it penetrates with a dip of about' one yard in six. Its present appearance presents a betl.of about four yards thick, between two layers of a compact siliceous - slaty Chat, covered with a shivery siliceous shale. D. eastwardly, like all the other' strata on' the moUntain, whiCh consist of lirne-Stobe rock and chat. The buhr-stratum is principally of the same quality •hs the small mill-stone sent :herewith, and attested bY Dr. Train (eertificate, - No. 1):; but mitten -masses sometimes occur, and blocks are occasionally. found of too close a texture for the Miller ; and 'sane few are quite solid. Still the corrailite structure pervades the 'Whole : the .t ntrochites being, perfect and entire in some instances,' while in the chief parts of the 'bed the casts :Hone rernhin ; - finis, leaving' the rock' Vesicular, and this respect differing from the nature of the - pores in the French bohr, pear to - haire been eiiiisett by corrosion, their - edges being rusty and impure, whereas those in the Halkiii itim: are of pure 'flint, and exceedingly sharp and hard. '" • The ,quarry froM which all the buhrs hitherto used have been procured, now presents a fore-breast of forty' yards, 'and is of, the same quality and, thickness' ha at first, but has a thicker covering of shale, as it dips into the till. 'At the distapce of a mile* the north-west ; a second quarrry is now 'opening, and appears similar in every respect to the former and-filinfragmenti of huhr here and•there found; with pieces of, shale .and -- . of chest, half concealed in the thountain turf, traces ,or the, same stratum ,May be observed froth the one quarry, to- the other.'

In Order to prove the T alkin buhrs , the diacoyerera hal - some made into mill -stones, which they set Up in the neigh bottring mill in the borough of Flint ; some were had,by a. millwright, and afterwards sent to a mixed with French buhrS; and one large bohr was sliapedintO a millstone, and put ut(at a thillat'Vizetfiog. • - They considered, it .would require /TA Sh time to prove the real character of the bubtrt, anti - that it useless to endeavour to make sates till - fitis'proof could be sadsfactorily made, and therefore they took but little . trouble in cirenla . ting the object of their discovery for nearly two years, When Bedding that the stones -at Flint mill we're highly approved, atia found to be a substitute for the French buhrs, they turned theiratten; tion to the subject: They were advised to layspetimens of tite - bulirs before the Society of Arts,, &c. immediately; lest they might be e.ntici: : pated by some other person in - their pretensions to the pre:. mium offered, and they accordingly ventured to do so, in February 1820 (under the name of Flint Mahro, bttr not - having then had sufficient trial - made of- them, they were not in possession of certificates sufficiently extensive on which . 0 rest% their-claims to the notice of the.Sbeiety. • • As, howeVer, they are now able to alcltice praota that the Halkin buhrs are fully equal to the French, and in some cases are declared to be actually superior to them., they trust that the society, in looking to the'nationil importance of the disc.overy„' will pass over the trouble that Was laSt year so • un intentionally occasioned, and again take the matter into their consideration.' • They iequest perthission to lay before the Society the aC-, companying certificates and letters on• the stibject ; `and in ordei to chew that they have not been selecting, a few, and With holding any less favourable to their hopes, they beg to state the result of every sale made by them up to the end of the last year, and to add a short review of ithe particular certificate connected with each ease, observingat the same time that not one unfavourable or unsatisfactory trial has yet occurred. , Some of the buhrs got on the discovery of the quarry were. (as before stated) converted into .millstones, and put up about three years ago at Mr: Evans's mill, in the borough of Flint, who certifies that "he used them nearly two years occasionally for wheat, but chiefly as.grey-stones, in which they excelled ; that at first be used them seldom for, wheat, but afterwards more and more frequently, as he found them answer the pur pose, and, by way of comparing them with the French stones, he took six measures of wheat, and ground one-half on the Halkin stones, and one-half on the, French stones ; there was some Very slight difference in the flour, which was in favour of the French ; but he did not consider it as a fair trial, as the Halkin stones were not at •the time properly faced for wheat grinding, and if the French stones had been faced as rough, the flour from them would not have been :better than the other. Bread was made from the two kinds offlonr, but no one could distinguish between the two. He. then had the Halkin stones regularly faced and cracked as French, and has found them ever since equal to the. French atones in every re spect whatever." Others of the buhrs, got about the same time, were used more cautiously by a millwright, who made. a: large pair of millstones of Halkin and French bultrs, fixed in alternately, and these were set up inure than three years ago at the Horn mills, near •Danhain-'o'411"-Hill, in Cheshire. .Mr. John Peers, the present tenant of this mill, ent-L•red on it nearly three years ago, and he states that " the stones were in a rough state, and required six months to get them to a proper face, when they . ground wheat as well as' the best French stonaa, .and have ever since continued to do so ; that he pre fers the Halkin and French' stones mixed to thoie of French hairs entirely, as they grind faster, and as well; and full as cool as the French ; that he uses theth for all purposes, and considers them equal in every .respect, and superior in some respects, to the French buhrs." A large buhr got about the same time, was sold to Mr. John Edwards, the oeeupier of a small mill at 'l'aceiliag, in FlintAire; he states " that from various causes the built was not used till about twelve months ago, when he shaped it into a millstone of three feet six inches diameter ; that he has no •Vrench stones, but used this as a runner 'over a blue stone for grinding Wheat, and found the flour of goad colour, and the bran broad and light ; that the stone would bear the finest cracking, and 'continued to improve and harden till he left the mill in November last." • The next sale was to John Dumbell, Bag. of the Mersey .hills, Warrington (said to be the lerg . est establishmentin the kingdom, and containing twenty-two pair ofinillstones,) and he certifies that " in March 1820, he received a quantity of Halkin buhrs, which he had forthwith made into millstones ; and these were so' much approved, that in May P 320 he had buhrs for a second pair ; that the two pair Of Halton - millstones have been regularly at work ever inite,antl 'continue to give great satiSfae tioneo the bakers and flbur-dealers ; that he conceives they are precisely the seine kind of stone as the French - huhre, and cut the gram like them, and are like them in respect to oatmeal, in which neither French nor Halkin stones are used to advantage ; and he. considers the 'disiovery of great natiOnal•importance." , Messrs: lintstfiehla and Passand (now the occupiers of some large mills'at Limm, neat -Warrington; but who were lately foremen to Mr pitmbell, and-here been pre'tticel millers nearly thirty yearso 'stao " that 'they hiede the- lialkin stones which were set up at the Mersey Mills, Wheie thete are nine pair of French stbies at work ; f.hat they made an experiment with sonic wheitte by gtinding some on the best French pair, and some on-the flalltin, stones, in order to compare the flour, in Which there was scarcely any perceptible difference, though the preference was giten in favour of the Halkin stones by a 'corn and flour dealer, to whom theaamples-were 'sheven' ; that bread was made from each; but no difference could be perceived ; that at first they thouht the Halkin stones not quite so hard and tough as the Frenche but they found them continue to improve, and to beeome as good as the 'French • that they have seen all varieties of millstones; and made all sorts of millstones, but never saw any buhrs 'to come in competition with the French, except the Halkins, which they are satisfied will answer evety purpose." • - , • . In corroboration of theae' stateinenti; a sample of the bran (sifted in its rough state out of 'the fidur;) is respectfully sub mitted to the Soeiety: • In May 1820 a Halkin milleeene was sent to Mr. Pratt, of Saredon -Mill (a large- concern near \Vela:ill, in Staffordshire)) and set to work in his mill at. Dudley. , his. Pratt has had e = very extensive practical experieace for ore than thirty years, and in October last he wrote that "it had been applied for seate ral weeks in grinding wheat, and that it ground equal to French atones, and.better than some of them ; ,but he had it for grind - ing barley, &c. and was so using it, and fotind it answer re markably well for that purpose ; : that : the face and dress keep good, and for a great length of ; and that in the Spring he would have a pair of Halkin stones to grind •wheat."
