drawn with buckets out of the small tank, and in this way all the sediment

which clings to the canvas falls into the trough placed underneath. </

trough is hewn out of a tree and placed in a ditch dug in the ground; the

interior of the trough is a foot wide at the top, but narrower in the bottom,

because it is rounded out. </

board, in order that the fairly large particles of concentrates or fairly large

sized tin-stone may remain in the forepart into which they have fallen, and
<
lb

the fine concentrates or fine tin-stone in the lower part, for the water flows
<

pit. </

removed from the trough, they are washed again on the ordinary strake. </
