A HANDY PROSPECTOR'S FURNACE. 



THE fittention of Pios]iectors and Miners is called to the merits of a new improved 

 apparatus for testing and smelting various kinds of ores and minerals, such as 

 gold, copjier, nickel, silver and lead ores, refractory and compound ores. 



This Furnace is designed and constructed by and for a prospector, who requires a 

 serviceable furnace, easily transported over a mountainous country by a pack animal; that 

 is complete and ready, and can be set up at any dump of low grade ores, that otherwise 

 will not pay to ship with profit and make a good day's pay out of one to two tons of 

 ore every day. 



To judge the price ($125.00) for such an outfit — of a Cupola Smelter, knock-Jowfl 

 bottom type, with extension when smelting ores, made of No. 10 steel plates with slag 

 and metal spouts, rotary steel blower, countershaft with geared pulley for blast supply, by 

 either water, steam or hand power; with three gra]ihide crucibles, thiee steel ladles, si.K 

 furnace steel br.rs and tools, only weighing complete 12S5 pounds — when the prospector 

 can determine the value of one ton of the ore in a five-hour heat by the output of the 

 bullion. 



With a little ordinary intelligence of the average prospector, this five feel by three 

 feet inside diameter little smelter, run on low grade ores, will not only pay for itself every 

 week, but it will convince the skejitic beyond redemption wlio doe> not believe with us 

 that the little smelter must come to the ore. 



The fact that a great many of these cupola type smelters are now being adopted 

 throughout the Western mining districts, and all giving entire saiisfaction, is sufficient 

 recommendation for the sudden demand as an alisoluie ne-essity to every jnospector, 

 mine owner, millman, sampling works or mining company. 



Full and complete instructions go with the outfit, which gives mode of treatment of 

 different ores, directions as to setting up and starting smelter, fuel fluxing material, and 

 general smelting operation. 



A small size 2x4 of )4-ion capacity per 6ve-hour heat, costs only $65 and weighs 

 650 pounds, same number of tools, with blower, &c., designed for tlie poor prospector, 

 who feels unable to purchase the larger smelter outfit. Refractory gold and silver ores 

 and compound ores assayed and reported on.
