The Iron Age 1886-11-25: Vol 38 Iss 22

1888. — —. | of 'S. The Iron Ag NDEX TO NG MATTER PAGE Published every Thursdé Vol. XXXVIIL: No pynamo Machine for Electro-Plating. he Zucker & Levett Chemical Compaay, of New York, are putting on the market a yew dynamo machine for plating and electro-typing. It is known as the Amer- ican Giant dynamo and is turned out in sizes. The engraving which we annex represents a general view of the machine, .howing some of its principal features. The machine is constructed of the best materials, vith the latest improvements as to econom, in motive-power, small wear and tear, com- pactness, &c. Owing to the peculiar mode of its winding, it is self-protecting—that is, it retains its polarity without a protector. [It does not require water to keep it from heating, though working under full capacity. For the transmission of electricity exception- ally high results are claimed. The dynamo is provided with a regulating attachment working with such accuracy that the smallest | articles can be plated as easily as any quan- tity up to its full capacity. It is provided with extremely long bearings made of gun metal; also with adjustable lubricators effecting an important saving of oil while | keeping the bearings in perfect condition for a great number of years. The most im- portant feature is its low consumption of notive-power, owing to the peculiar con- struction of the armature. ll parts are witerchangeable and can be mounted and disconnected by any non-mechanic. With the greatest load of work it is claimed to run absolutely smooth and noiseless. ne Emery Grinding Tools. Ail | | | It has been the general custom to : emery-wheels at such high velocities that uvthing short of a steam engine or a water- power was able to give the required -peed. Itis interesting to note, therefore, that the Bed Rock Emery Works, of Bain- oridge, N. Y., recognizing the want for an emery-wheel that should cut and do good work at @ comparatively low speed, are brnging out what are known as their Bed-Rock wheels mounted for hand use. Fig. 1 of our engravings iilus.rates the arrangement very satisfacturily. The cut requires littleexplanation. Thema chine has a well made cast iron driving-wheel 18 inches in diameter hung on a steel arbor within aslidiog frame It is connected toa very simple belt tightener, which makes the whole machine thoroughly practical. If after using the emery-wheel the user will take the trouble to slacken the belt tightener, which he can do in three seconds, all strain is re- woved from the belt and it is at rest and ready at any time upon turning the thumb- nut, which tightens the belt by drawing the emery-wheel and its frame along its slide, to do good, effective grinding. All parts of the machine are interchangeable and can be replaced if necessary at a moderate cost. The machine has an emery-wheel 6 inches in diameter and 3 inch thick, and is adapted to a wider range of work, performing it more rapidly than a grindstone. We give a view of the same emery-wheel without the fly-wheel. This form is designed for use in places where there is power. .This little machine, we understand, costs less than half | as much as a grindstone, and is claimed to do much more and better work with very much less power. rr The Tin Deposits of the Straits. So little is available in current literature concerning one of the most important sources of supply of tin that the following notes on | the deposits of the State of Perak, Straits | Settlements, by J. H. Hampton, of London, | will be read with interest : The general aspect of the country is hill and dale, studded all over with primeval forest, with here and there villages and | | The State is divided into several districts—Larut, Kinta, Salal, Selama, Batang-Padong, Onla Bernam, Lower Perak and the Dindings. Taipeng, in the Larut district, is the largest town in the State, and has the largest population of “uropeans and Chinese. The town is ap- proached by rail about 8 miles from the landing wharf at Portweld, and is situate | ma large plain at the foot of a big flank in the hills. The Kinta district is approached by river from Lower Perak. The official juarters of the district are at Bata Gajala, situate on tableland at some elevation. The other districts are approached by rivers and by roads, which are being made all over the State, and bid fair to make communi- cation easier year by year, so that journeys can be made on horseback or by conveyance much more easily and quickly than by riding on elephants, the latter being the usual course adopted through jungles or swamps or rivers at the rate of 1% miles per hour. The mountains, which stretch from north to south, are undoubtedly of paleozoic age ; granite, limestone and syenite constitute the greater part. The granite is porphyritic, containing felspar in large proportions. The limestone is a beautifully white crystalline mass, the relative age of which it is bard to determine. Some have ventured to call it devonian, others silurian and some lauren- tian. The tin deposits which rest on these paleozoie bills exist in the plains, valleys and gullies, and are of tertiary age, being an accumulation of disintegrated rock. mining centers. iy Morning by.

The ore is then taken to the ‘Kongnee”’ house, and there kept until enough has been obtained to warrant smelt ing it. The smelting is carried on in a cupola fur feet in diameter, made of well beaten clay and supported with stakes ar ranged around it and bound with iron rings, and hollowed in the center, into which the tin ore and charcoal (the latter being always used as a reducing agent) are put; the metal runs out of an aperture in the bottom and is caught in a small cell made on the ground, from where it is ladled into molds well prepared in the sand, and after cooling is ready for the market. At the back of the furnace there is a hole made for the admis | sion of air and for raking the charge. The | tin having been made marketable and sold, a settlement of accounts takes place bet ween the employer and his men. If the tin so raised 1s enough to pay the wholesale price | of the food supplied to the men, and to pay the balance of their wages, the employer | has then made his profit on the foed of $1.50 | per man per month ; if the proceeds of the tin are insufficient to meet their expenses | the coolie and his employer lose alike ; but if the tin sold is more than sufficient the bal- ance is the property of the employer in addi- | tion to his protit on the food, and it is on | this system the Chinese have in some cases j made large fortunes. The machinery used at these mines is very simple, and usually consists of a water-wheel (where water is available) about 6 feet in diameter and the Chinese pump, which is called a ‘* kinchew.” The pump consists of an endless wooden chain with wooden blades working through a wooden frame and over a pulley at each end ; the whole framework is placed at an angle, subject to alteration as the mine gets deeper. Where water power is not avail able steam engines are used for pumping, and consequently enable the mines to be worked during seasons of drought, when the water wheels cannot be used. Mines are also worked in the sides of hills, known as *‘lampan workings” which drain them- selves, and no machinery is used, the tin being washed in a large sluice or tail-race. In testing the quality of the wash a cocoa- nut shell is filled with it, and, by the usual THE AMERICAN GIANT DYNAMO FOR ELECTRO-PLATING, BUILT BY THE ZUCKER & LEVETT CHEMICAL] ™anipulation in a stream or pool of water, ent points very different percentages of tin ore from % per cent. to 30 per cent. The wash is composed of pebble-shaped frag- ments of quartz and granite, and it is this water-worn appearance of the constituents that characterizes the tin-producing seam. With a few exceptions the cassiterite is free from pyrites, and each grain of the mineral Bay | | Ba 4 Fig. 1.—Emery-Wheel Mounted for. Hand Use. EMERY GRINDING TOOLS, having a separate existence is easily sepa- rated from the minerals by inferior specific gravity and prepared for smelting. The water worn appearance of the grain affords evidence of its having been subjected to agueous abrasion, having been washed down for a good distance from the hills. The largest grains are found in the tops of . some of the hills, while the next largest are found in the valleys, and so a diminution in size is noticeable as distance from the hills is attained. Besides the black tin ore white cassiterite is of freqent occurrence, and the red or ruby ore may also be noticed. Per- fect crystals are rare, although numerous pieces of mineral about the size of a wal- nut occur with one or two planes of the crystal visible and the fractured surfaces water-worn. The water contained in these tin deposits is in some cases con- siderable, and the quantity experienced de- pends on the puints at which the shafts are sunk, for in sinking through them the shaft keeps dry while piercing the clay, and until BUILT BY COMPANY, NEW YORK. uneven appearance, not unlike a sea beach with rocky protuberances and indentations. Occasional large stones of cassiterite occur, and these suggests the possibility of their being traced to a matrix, and this in one or two cases has been done. The tin from the Straits Settlements has hitherto been solely derived from the alluvial deposits, which THE BED ROCK EMERY cover vast plains, and, although these have been mined to a considerable extent, big areas yet remain to be opened and developed, and the interior of the country to be ex- plored. The tin-producing portions of the plains alluded to are frequently determined by borings or by small prospecting works, as the richer portions are sometimes in leaders, which appear to have been deposited by a swift current, the narrowest portion of the leader being at the further end from the hill. Poekets and crevices in the limestone are often found filled with tin-producing gravel, but in no case has limescone been discovered to be the matrix. Attention having been almost entirely de voted to working the alluvial tin, tin lodes are not being worked to profitable account, although good evidence of their existence is afforded by surface indications. At a place called Peah, in the Kinta district, a ferruginous cellular mass of quartz, not | unlike a gossan, has been worked across in 'the junction of the granite and limestone, | ples of tin raised, it is natural to expect a further development will be attended with a good result. A sample recently brought to London assayed 20 per cent. of tin. The bulk of the alluvial tin is raised by the Chinese, and the modus operandi of the mining is as follows: A desirable spot having been decided on, and permission having been obtained from the Government to mine, the jungle is felled; drains are cut ; sheds and coolie houses built ; coolies en- gaged who contract to work on a truck system for a term that may be agreed upon between the employers and employed. The employer provides food and opium for the workmen, the account of which is made up and settled at the end of a stated time. so that, while the coolie finds it to his advan- tage to have his food provided in this way, | the employer also finds it to his advantage to make a profit cut of the food, amounts to $1.50 per man per month, Another system of labor adopted is by en Fig. 2.—Emery: Wheel Mounted for Power. WORKS, BAINBRIDGE, N. Y. gaging men fresh from China, called ‘ Sinkheys.” Work is commenced by hav ing the ground worked out in a square or rectangular block, and, after the usus! relig ious observances have been gone through, “stripping” the overburden is prosecuted vigorously on contract by the Chinese coolies, with two baskets suspended from the end of a stick—made for the purpose—sup- ported on the shoulder, running along, one after the other, with their loads and depos- iting them at the required distance. In this way it is surprising the amount of stuff that can be removed by a Chinaman in the course of three or four hours. As the strip- ping continues and depth is gradually at- tained the Chinese ladder is adjusted to enable the workmen to carry the stuff out of the mine. The ladder consists of a tree that has been felled and cut into notches or steps. After the overburden has been re- moved the tin wash is raised by the same process, and deposited in a heap on the sur face until enough has accumulated for the the tin ore concentrates in the bottom of the shell and the gravel is washed off, and to the experienced this test isinvaluable. The ‘‘lampan” mines are usually worked by the Malays, who choose them in preference to deeper ones, The Malays are the natives of the country, and are a nice, polite people, but rather averse to hard work. Never having been subject to the troubles of com petition, and being satisfied with very little, they cannot understand the white man, who appears to them to be ‘‘ always in a hurry.” The wild man of the Sukei tribe inhabits the interior of the country, and his existence is not attended with much cost either of living or clothing ; he also does a little toward tin mining on the hills, and sells his produce at a smelting works in the nearest village. The usual size of a mining grant is 25 acres, al- though the acreage of a lease depends on circumstances. Occasional disputes arise among the Chinese on the question of bound- aries or water supply, and these disputes are generally settled by the mine inspector or which | 80me other Government official whose duty it is to decide Tin smelting is all done in the State, and in almost all cases is done at the mines in furnaces, as described, each mine or each firm having fur- naces of its own, where the process of smelting is conducted by a Chinaman ex- perienced in this especial work. The slabs of tin weigh from '% to &% cwt., and are weighed according to the Malay or Chinese weights, known as barahs, piculs and catties A cattie is equal to1'% pounds, a picul is 100 catties, a babra is 3 piculs. Most of the tin is sent to the nearest port and then shipped to Penang, where it is sold to the merchants, and after undergoing a process of refining is shipped elsewhere. The tin is not refined in tke State of Perak, but at Penang. The following are the statistics of smelted tin exported from Perak for several years, by which it will be seen that the output has increased more than 500 per cent. in nine years; Year Tons.

With exception of some alluvial gold at Batang Padang tin oxide is the only marketable mineral yet paid atten tion to in the State. The gold alluded to is disseminated throughout the tin wash and is separated from the tin ore by an addi tional process of hand-washing in a wooden concave plate. There is no regular propor tion of gold to tin ore. A sample obtained at Batang Padang produced 8 cunces to the ton. -- Oe A BA EO URNS -— \ A eas ah = vt i le te Tee ee é& “ er ke Fe ee 2 ers wr oe THE IRON AGE.

Five years ago a company of Eastern capi talists, incorporated as the Negaunee Concen trating Company, erected ata éost of $250,000 a huge mill in the western part of Negaunee, to separate from the conglomerate iron ore and jasper of the Jackson and other iron mines the ore and reject the ‘‘ gangue rhe mill was supplied with crushers, van- ners, sifters, an incline railway and an im mense amount of machinery, and was finally started up From the first day's work there was a great deal of trouble with the machinery, the stockholders grew dis satisfied with the management, and finally the bottom fell entirely out of the ore mar ket, and in the fall of 1883 the concentrat ing works had to close The projector of the scheme is G. Conklin by name His faith in the ultimate success of the venture has never wavered, and he has been re- cently looking over the ground with the view of building another mill, sualler than the first one, and with various improve ments which the failures of the first mill have shown to be necessary The mill and machinery will cost something like $125,001 or about half of what was sunk in the first venture. Concentrating works have been running successfully for a number of years in the Lake Champlain iron-ore district of New York. This fail there has been built at Republic a $25,000 concentrating mill. The jasper ores of the Republic range are very rich and more easily worked than the | Negaunee banded jasper ores, “which are very refractory and hard to crush The Republic mill was built by Houghton (Mich.) capitalists. The stockholders are all en gaged in the copper mining industry, and have had many years’ experience with mills JNO.
