A HANDY PROSPECTOR'S FURNACE. 



THE attention of Prospectors 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, copper, 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 gan 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-down 

 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 graphide crucibles, thiee steel ladles, six 

 furnace steel bars and tools, only weighing complete 1285 pounds — when the prosjiector 

 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 feet by three 

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

 week, but it will convince tlie skeptic beyond redemption who does not believe with us 

 that the little smelter must come to the ore. 



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

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

 recommendation for the sudilen demand as an absolute necessity to every prospector, 

 mine owner, millman, sam>iing winks or mining company. 



Full and comjilete 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 j^-ton capacity per five-hour heat, costs only $65 and weighs 

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

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

 and compound ores assayed and reported on.
