Almost the latest among the inventions patented
before the passing of the new Patent Law Amend-
ment Bill through the Houses of Parliament was that
of BAGGS'Stearn Stamp 111achineryfor Crushing Gold
Quartz and Metallic Ores—one of the most extraor-
dinary because one of the most simple and effectual
contrivances of modern times—and one, moreover,
which, from its character, must be altogether in-
valuable to the thousands interested in the gold-
diggings of Australia, From an elaborate descrip-
tion of this curious and important piece of me-
chanism, contained in the Mechanic's llagazixe of
Saturday last, it appears to us tolerably evident that
the principal advantages claimed for his inven-
tion by the patentee are those which will be
found most acceptable in the mining world—those of
economy in time, coat, and power. Already, as is
well known, there have been various patents the
principle of which has been the endeavour to apply
the direct action of steam or of atmo-
spheric pressure to the movement of a
forge hammer—but hithcrto in each instance the
attempted application has proved inefficacious, and
one after another these patents have consequently
expired withcut being productive of any advantage.
According to the interesting account before us in re-
ference totßenGs's new patent machinery, however,
" the improvements which have been made in the
construction of this description of engine, within the
last few years bare invested it with a cer-
tain degree of novelty, and it is in the
! application of the principle here named to a
, ,‘..04;4, I new and useful purpose, and in the details
~ 0 esseitk't - ' whereby that application is rendered practically effi-
cacious, that the present invention consists. Wherever
rollers and ordinary stamp-heads are employed for
crushing ore; a separate and independent steam-en-
gine, with its shaft, fly-wheel, and connecting gear,
is necessary to produce motion; but here the appa-
ratus is complete in itself, and the steam from a small
engine are thenceforward automatic,
