Ore Separator. Np. 42.392. Patented April 19, 1864.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 42,392, dated April 19, 1854.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, FRANKLIN A. MORLEY, of Sodus Poiit, in the county of WVayne and State of New York, have invented anew and useful Ore- Separator for Extracting Metal from Stamyezl Ores; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being bad to the accompany ing drawings, and'to the letters of reference marked thereon.
The nature of my invention consists in separating the mineral from the refuse portion by use of a horizontal current of water, formed by artificial means, the unseparated material being thrown into the current at a given point, the metal, by means of its greater spe cific gravity, reaches the bottom first, and is deposited in a front receiver, while the lighter refuse material, as it is longer suspended in the current, is swept farther along and into another receiver, making a very simple and efficient separator.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, Iwil] proceed to do scribe its construction and operation.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a top plan, and Fig. 2 is a perspective view.
A A in Fig. 1 is an elongated water-box, with a center, B, which forms a circuitous water-channel, O O, of the depth of the box.
1) is the water-wheel, by means of \vhicha continuous current is produced in the direction of the arrows.
The stamped ore, w ith the water used in the stamping operation, is admitted into the hopper E, and, passing into the current of Water at Gr, is swept along into the receivers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, the heavier and metallic portion reaching the bottom first and lodging in the receivers l 2, while the residue is carried along into the other receivers 3 4 5.
The recesses F F F, 850., are for the accommodation of elevators whereby the separated material is brought to the surface and deposited in suitable receptacles or receivers, leaving the water to :be used over and over again continuously.
\Vhat I claim as my invention,and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The use of a horizontal current of water produced by the water-wheel D, or its mechanical equivalent, for the purpose of conveying materials of different specific gravities into different receptacles, substantially in the manner and for the purpose described.
FRANKLIN A. MORLEY.
