THE WISWELL.


IT IL Apparently the Long.sought Cheap
and Thorough Reducing Process
timOnials that Tend to Prove This.
In order that the mining men OF
this region should be reliably Informed
Of the merits Of the Wiswell Electric
Machinery, which seeks to superscde
all other reducing machinery, the
TIMES sent number of kilograms to
managers Of mines and mills who are
using the Wiswell Machinery. The
replies SO far received are uniformly
favorable. Here are some of the
questions and answers:
QUESTION.
How does amount of work done by
Wiswell mill compare with 2O-sta.np
mill:
Wiswell mine brushes 20 tons in "a
hours. THOMAS G. DUNN,
Charlotte, N. G.
Q.-Is your Wiswell mill working
to your entire satisfaction?
A.--The Wiswell mill is doing first
GLASS work. WIN. JENKINS,
Charlotte, N. G.
Q.-Is your Wiswell mill any better
than stamps for saving gold?
Ayes. l am saving from 35 to
40 per cent more gold than with the
stamp mills.
Z. b. W1ruERE1L,
breckenridge, Col.
Q.-What do you know about Wis.
we'll Electric mill? Is it any better
than stamps for saving god?
A.--Positively better particularly
for saving gold. VIII write in full.
F. M. JOHNSON,
81 Post street, San Francisco, Cal.
All of the above questions were
sent from Haley August and 3.
The replies came August 4 and 5.
Dozens such could doubtless be OBJ
tanned, did not the above suffice.
From large number of letters re-
ceived by D. d. Bcoekway, the agent
here, the TIMES republishes extracts
from three as follows:
RUDIsIL Coin MIMI,
CHARLOTTE, N. g..
July IS, 1885.
wiswell Electric Machinery Company:
Having had one of your Electric
F'ulverizing mills in operation at this
mine for the past five months, take
pleasure in saying that it has in every
particular proved all you have claimed
Tor it as the hest machine ever yet put
in operation for milling and amalga.
mating gold ores.
At this mine it has been thoroughly
tested, having ground some 500 tons
of hard and soft ores, the result of
which has heen perfectly satisfactory.
On free milling ore we have tal len
out fully IS per cent of the gold shown
by assay, aud on hard sulphuret ores
we have invariably taken from 20 to
40 per cent more gold than could be
saved by stamp mill from the same
ores. The fscility with which the
ANAL amated quicksilver can be drawn
from the mill and fresh quicksilver
put in without stopping the work, and
the ease and rapidity with which it
can be cleaned up when required
merit especial commentator. In
fact. the mill seems perfect in its
working, and it would be hard to
point out any way in which it could
be improved.
have given particular attention to
the matter OF wear and tear, in which
! have been most happily disappoint-
ed. After five months constant usage,
the mill is in as good condition as the
day it started, and it has never stopped
one minute for repair of any kind.
As the mill works free ores so per
fectly without electricity. saving, as
above stated, 95 per cent. of all the
gold in the ore, l do not now use the
battery on such ores. In the case of
sulphuret or rsbellious ores, the cleo
trio current is of great service, as it
largely increases the yield of gold
from such ores. From numerous ex.
periments and tests, Should say we
gained rs per cent. in our gold yield
by the use Of tile battery in working
sulphuret ores.
We shall require another mill, which
We hope you will be able to send us
next month. THos. G. DUNN,
Proprietor of Rudisil Gold Mine.
! do not hesitate to indcrso all thai
has been stated above by Mr.. Dunn.
WIN. JENKINS,
Superintendent Rudisil Mine.
