IMPROVED SMELLING FUnxAc

re-
Henry c.. CrcnI, the inventor, showed
us yesterday n diugrNm md photograph
OF I'M improved smelling furnace for the
reduction Of gold, silver, copper and
other ores, upon which n pntcnt was
obtained in July. last. 1t is claimed for
this furnace that through tile npplica-
ton OF n new principle in the intrOduc-
ton Of heat to the ore to be reduced,
and also the peculiar arrangement Of the
draft, II degree of heat is attained By
which milling ores are reduced TO n
liquid state i'll thirty minutes without
materially affecting the friedrich with
which the furnace IL lined. The fur
nnce is built Of ordinary brick, the walls
OF which are twelve inches thick, and
from its center II large iluc Of the same
material, seventeen feet in length, from
the extreme end Of which rises the
stnokc'stack. THUS, the furnace, when
completed has tho form Of n cross. For
heating, wood Is used instead of char
coal, Rnh is introduced into the furnace
mt seven different points-thrcc nj each
end and one in The Longitudinal center,
directly opposite the main fluc before
referred to. The latter IL the mnin fire
opening, and like the central openings
ut the end, is near the bottom of the fur
mace, while tho other end openings,
which are smaller, nrc placed hcsidc
aud n little above them. Tho process
by which the precious metal, which
becomes volntilizcd, is prevented from
passing out at tho stack and lost, IL by
placing IN tho main Iluc. In suitable
vessels, quicksilver aud iodine, the
fumes Of which minglc with tho cscap.
ing gases anil rnusc precipitation. Mr..
Crcnl claims that with this furnace he
can reduce four tons Of my kind Ut orc
l." n liquid condition IN thirty minutes
after II is thoroughly heated. The cost
Of the furnace is from $1,000 to $40, 600
according to size and finish.
