THEMAFirmendarstellung
TEXTThe production of mining machinery of different kinds is a business that, at the present day, occupies the attention and ability of the most talented and promising of our business men. Every day mining for the precious metals becomes more dependent upon machinery, and the universal cry seems to be for inventions to save labor. A prominent house engaged in the manufacture of mining machinery, steam engines, boilers and machinery for systematic milling, smelting and concentration of ores, is that of Messrs. Fraser & Chalmers, whose New York office is located at No. 2 Wall Street. The selection of the most profitable process and machinery for the treatment of a given ore is a matter of great importance in mining matters: but as some ores are susceptible of successful working by more than one process, in such cases local conditions must determine which method will yield the greatest profits. The principal office and works of this extensive firm is situated at Fulton and Union Streets, Chicago, Ill., and was founded twenty-six years ago, and since that period has built up an extensive mining patronage. Having made extensive additions and alterations to their shops and machinery. Messrs. Fraser & Chalmers have now the largest and best appointed shop in the West, and are prepared to make from the latest and most approved patterns, Quartz Mills, for working gold or silver ores by wet or dry crushing, also the Stetefeldt, Howells' Improved, White, Benn-ton's and Bruckner furnaces for working base ores. They also manufacture rotary dryers, Stetefeldt's improved dry kiln furnaces, smelting furnaces, true ore concentrator or Vanner's mills, crushing rollers, sizers, trammels, Rittinger tables, and all other adjuncts for the proper working of gold, silver and copper ores, complete in every detail. The true Vanning nmchine is the most perfect modern appliance for concentration of slimes and finely-crushed material for treatment of gold and silver mill tailings, and direct concentration of ores of silver, lead, copper, tin, zinc, etc., after stamps or pulverizers. The machinery produced by this celebrated firm is unsurpassed by any similar establishment, and at the Chicago works seven hundred skilled and experienced artizans are constantly employed. The individual members of this extensive house are Messrs. David R. and Norman D. Fraser, Thomas and William J. Chalmers, gentlemen of skill and ability in all matters pertaining to machinery., steam engines, etc., and who have obtained a prominence in their profession as engineers. The branch offices are situated at New York, No. 2 Wall Street, Walter McDermott, manager; Denver, Colorado, No. 423 Blake Street, L. C. Trent, manager, where all information can be obtained relative to their unrivalled inventions.
