Patent Amalgamating Rifle.
Patent Issued March LIST, 1859.

Patent Issued March LIST, 1859.
The invention consists of forcing Quicksilver
into blocks of wood, which are useo as false bot
toms for sluiees, thereby giving Quicksilver
surface until the blocks are worn out. As the
blocks are gradually worn by the gravel, q
fresh supply of Quicksilver is constantly expos
ed, ready to amalgamate the gold that comes in
contact with them.
The machines for forcing Quicksilver into
the blocks, are of simple construction and dura-
bic. One man can press in one hundred pounds
of Quicksilver in a day, which will give hun
dred feet of Quicksilver surface, and the pro-
cess is easily learned.
The shop cost of the machines, are from
$14 to $40, according to size
The following letters from practical Miners
at Michigan Bluffs, Placer County, whe:e the
PATENT RIFFLES were first introduced,
will show the estimation in which they are held
by those who haveused them;
MICHIGAN BLUFFS, March 2Sth, '59.
Mr.. Briggs, Sir, l have used your Patent
Quicksilver Block Rifles, and consider them
the best method for saving fine gold ever used.
used them on the American River this last
summer, and found that by using them, could
save fourth more gold, than by any other
Rifles now in use. Hoping that your Rifles
will be extensively, introduced throus hout the
State, and meet with the success they deserve.
lremaln yours uuiy.
GEORGE L. BESSEr,
MIcH1G1y BLUFFS, April 10th so.
Mr. Briggs, Sir. VI have used your patent
amalgamating Rifle and am satisfied that it is
good invention; we have cleaned up more and
amer gold than we ever did before in the same
length oftime. There has not been as much
wash running in the gulch as there will be by
and by, as the boys have not commenced wash
ing pay dirt yet.
Yours truly,
CHAS. W. COOK.
I am now for the first time, trying to intro
duee the AMALoANATIsG RIFLE into the mines
generally. After being thoroughly convinced
of its utility and practicability, l am now
prepared to fill orders for all parties that may
wish to use it, ON very REASONABLE
TERMS,

that time the wings party has been dissolv
ed, and most of those who acted with il
have united themselves with the black re
publican party here at the North, which is
under the Influence of the abOlitionists
as we see it plainly is in Ohio. What are
they now asked to do? Simply to declare
that "abhorrent to the moral sense of the
civilized world" of which they approved
but a few years ago This is what they
must do if they continue to act with the
black republican party; they must con.
denim their own action vilify; the hom
they have ever accepted as the rightful ex-
ponents of constitutional and government
