A NEW DEPARTURE.
Sectional Views that Convey an Accurate
Ida Of Machinery,

Idea Of Machinery.
Messrs. Rankin & Brayton pro.
prietors II the Pacific Iron Works
with that progressive spirit that ha
distinguished them for many years in
their business, have made new de-
parture, which will materially enhance
their. traffic with the mining world, and
which must prove of interest to those
who contemplate the purchase of
mining machinery. Realizing the
difficulty Of explaining by correspond
ence the varied appliances constructed
at their shops, they have hit upon a
device that will obviate this trouble.
They have issued, in chromo-lithog-
raphy, series of sectional views of
every variety Of mining plant manu-.
featured by them. These are Of con.
venient size for mailing, 1919 inches,
handsomely colored, finely executed
in the drawing, and each is an &C.
curate representation of the subject
illustrated. For instance, No. rep
resentsa free ore silver mill, showing
a sectional view Of the interior
of the building, the location of
the machinery, and gives very
correct idea Of the method adopted for
the reduction of the ores. This mill
has four batteries, Of five stamps each,
twelve matchmaking pans and six
settlers, with rock. breaker, retorts,
bullion furnace, boiler, Wheeler engine
AID every appliance complete for the
rapid and thorough execution of the
work it is designed to perform. Its
capacity is 10 tons OF ordinary rock
per day. AS it is the policy of this
firm to undere ,timate the capacity of
its machinery, it may be safely est.
mated that this mill overrans the
above figures eight to fifteen tons per
diem.
No. z is a crushing and roasting
mill, having twenty stamps, eight
anal g>mating pans, four settlers, one

exactly the position occupied in the
building containing it.

celebrated Rankin & Brayton water

L These furnaces often run as high a

No. shows a copper smelling plan
with one Of Rankin & Brayton'

breaker and other machinery.
No. 5. is roasting and lixiviatin
