Purvine Pan Endorsed For Amalgamation At Phillipsburg
The Purvine amalgamating pan now used by Northwest Co at Phillipsburg and the Centennial mill is praised for its concave side shape which keeps pulp in motion for thorough amalgamation. Iron or wood pans suit different processes, with wood preferred for Chil jan and iron for Washoe. Details note improved cog wheels, a new heavier spoke pattern, and plans to run bullion into bricks while awaiting Hendy concentrator setup expected by September.
