Notice.

THIS is to certify that I, Alfred Argles, have made
application in December last, 1864, at the
Colonial Treasury, Auckland, for a Patent for a Set
of Sluicing Boxes, containing six Boxes: they are
dividing, discharging, separating, and amalgamating
at same by one ordinary stream of water-
the model of them having been exhibited in the New
Zealand Exhibition, 1865.

Any person or persons objecting to the grant of
such Patent are requested to make such objection in
duplicate to the Colonial Treasurer, Wellington, and
Alfred Argles, Wetherstones, Otago, within four
months from this date, 12th August, 1865.

Specification of Argles's Discharging, Separating,
and Amalgamating Set of Sluicing Boxes :-

Box No. 1 is provided with a water gauge at the
head, and with three feet of perforated iron plate at
lower end, under which perforated plate I use another
plate with smaller holes.

Box No. 2 is provided with perforated plates for
its whole length with baize underneath; the second
perforated plate about two feet long, under that plate
a smaller perforated plate with one ripple.

Box No. 3 has a grooved bottom, and is provided
with three discharging double-perforated plates, three
ripples, and two regulating ripples.

Box No. 4 is a dividing box, grooved and provided
with copper plates on bottom, with divider at the
fork, and perforated plate on top with divider; also,
one regulating ripple at A, baize at B, with perforated
plate.

Box No. 5 is provided with copper plates for its
whole length, which copper plates are dished slightly
in the middle; it is also provided towards its lower
end with an amalgamating cylinder, revolving in a
concentric dip in a sheet iron bottom plate, and driven
by water-wheel at head of box; also, two grooved
Ripples below copper towards the lower end of box.

Box No. 6 has got baize or bullock's hide at top,
then copper dip, below that sheet iron, cylinder
revolving in concentric dip in sheet iron bottom plate,
and driven by water-wheel at head of box, same as
No. 5 box, over the baize a perforated plate, over
cylinder plain plates.

What I claim is the principle of dividing the fine
dirt from the coarse, discharging, separating, and
amalgamating set of sluicing boxes by one head of
water passing through them.
