Clark History Room at the Rowan Public Library, The Miscellaneous Postcard Collection, MSS 9034 and The Johnny Young Postcard Collection, MSS 9908. The postcards in the project are those in some way connected with Theo Buerbaum, who was a photographer and bookstore owner in Salisbury, North Carolina from 1880-1926. Most of the postcards are from photographs he took, but others are ones that bear the imprint of his bookstore in some way. Included with the images are short histories researched by our staff of the events, places, or people depicted in the postcard.

Title A name given to the resource Old Log Rocker Method Description An account of the resource The log rocker was a part of the gold milling process. After the ore came out of the shaft, it was hauled to the mill house where it was broken down manually by cobbers and then as many as five other processes might have been applied to mill the ore further. The primary type was a Chilean mill. But less expensive mills supplemented the process and were used to extract the gold from “wasted ore.” As the gold ore was successively ground and processed, it took on the appearance of mud. The log rockers were the place where the mud received its final washing. The process was described by David Hunter Strother in an article that appeared in Harper’s New Monthly Magazine in August of 1857: The cradles are eighteen or twenty feet long, formed from tree trunks split in twain and scooped out like canoes…cut with shallow grooves to hold liquid quicksilver…golden mud is distributed in the upper end of the cradles, a small stream of water turned upon it and the whole thing continuously rocked by machinery….the particles of gold taken up by quicksilver and [it] forms a solid lump called the amalgam.

Description An account of the resource Randolph Shaft, 800 Foot Level The Randolph Shaft was the deepest shaft in the area. During the time gold was mined in the shaft, it reached a depth of about 750 feet. Later, when copper was mined, the depth was extended to 800 feet and the deeper the shaft was dug, the higher the copper content of the ore.

Title A name given to the resource Chilean Drag-Mill and Rockers Description An account of the resource The machinery used for separating gold consisted of the Chilean mill for crushing and grinding after having been broken by hammers, the Tyrolese bowls, the drag-mill, and the Burke rockers. The Chilean mill was used from ancient times and when it worked it worked, put it relied on precision, which was not always provided. It needed a consistent source of power and adequate water. The millstones could only be cut and shaped by an experienced mason. The mill consisted of two vertical millstones in a watertight base of bed stone. They were attached by a shaft in such a way that they had two motions. They rolled on their edges while rotating clockwise on the shaft. As the mill crushed the rock, water was introduced that would wash away the ore and allow the heavier gold to sink to the bottom. At that point the amalgamation process was begun. Quicksilver lined the base of the mill and the gold amalgamated with the quicksilver, which was then baked in a retort and the quicksilver separated out again. After that the gold was formed into bars and taken to the mint. The work for a Chilean mill was 70 bushels of ore a day and the mills ran for 24 hours. The drag mill was an inexpensive mill, but more efficient at removing gold from ore. The main drawback of the drag mill was the time it took to grind the ore to powder. The ore was crushed, decomposed in “stirrers,” passed into the Tyrolese bowls, which after a sudden half revolution allowed the sand to run off with the water and leave the gold in the bottom. The resultant mud then went on to the rocker cradles for the amalgamation process. No. 2102 – published by Theodore Buerbaum, Salisbury, N.C. – Germany. Source: Nitze, Henry B. C. and H.A.J.
