the silver King is a masterpiece OF in
Fanuity and with a force OF five men,

Just below the upper floor are four
huge bins. three Tor receiving ore from
the mine and one for concentrates.
From these bins are chutes. which de.

which 1t passes through three sets Of
Fraser & Chalmers rolls, and Is then
elevated to the upper floor whore auto.
matte samplers are attached to each

while the balance goes directly to a
large elevator, which by means Of a
shifting spout delivers the ore into eth

The sample is picked up by another
elevator and again Il 20 per cent sam

four samples, the residue from each

final sample to the sample grinder.

About 1875 tons Of second class ore Is
