The purpose for whi<;h it is designed is the snhstitntion of mechanical for ravmai laboii'- in lifting, or A* it i« ter-ned '• forking;," stones and debris from trail-races in sluicing claims. In construction it is a wheel to which a number of buckets are attached — Hie wheel itself i>ein£» get at an angle of 25 decrees, whilst the buckets ar» so' arranged that as they ascend their angles increase from 31 degree 1 : at the horizontal to 45 degrees at quarter motion and 60 degrees at the crown of the wheel.

The invention is well worthy of inspection. If it currieH out all that Mr Malfroy expects it will work a rejoin tioti in mining by rendering poor sluicing ground payable which eaqnot now be wrought at a profit.
