MILLING ARRANGEMENTS
The mill building is large and space
for another tank room adjoining the main
building is laid out on the plan, and will
be built at some future time. Six tanks
will be put in operation at once. The
engine will be a Corless of 120-horse
power, and to supply steam two boilers
of 70-horse power each will be in place
in few days. The ore will be ground
by Blake crusher capable of crushing
300 tons daily, and two sets of rolls, the
invention of Colonel Wall. Between the
revolving screen. and between the two
sets CT rolls another revolving screen, so
that all ore of a certain fineness will
drop into the bin, lessenniaig the work on
the rolls. By this arrangement it will
be possible to supply SEQ tons per day
if necessary, and the only addition to the
mill to make that figure its daily capacity
will be the addition OF more teaching
tanks.
