No. 11598.—8th May, 1899.—MATTHEW GAWTHORP HEELES, of 54, Lambton Quay, Wellington, New Zealand, Manager of Company. Improvements in blanketing for gold-saving.*

Extract from Specification.—According to my invention, the blanketing is woven with ribs or corrugations disposed transversely, and the water, crushed quartz, black sand, and the like flow over the ribs or corrugations, which operate as ripples in retaining the particles of gold. The ribs or corrugations are formed by mounting the loom as required, and may be arranged at regular distances apart, or at graduated distances, or otherwise. The blanketing is used upon the gold-saving tables, and the gold is recovered from the blankets, in the same way as ordinary blanketing.
