another [a second] settling tank
http://techterms.net/ironwork/TAIME/pdf/TAIME_vol_11.pdf
The tailings from the washer run into two settling tanks, called
tanque and contratanque, passing from the first into the second. A settling tank for trillas of twelve tons each is 5 m. long, 3 m. wide, and 1 m. deep. In these tanks the tailings leave the heavier sulphurets and a small quantity of amalgam with the heavier part of the sand. The lighter portions of the tailings flow through the contratanque to waste. There is a great difference in the contents of the two tanks. The tanque contains more and richer sulphurets, while the deposits in the contratanque are notably poorer in quality and less in quantity. In the subsequent concentrations it is customary to keep the material from the two tanks separate until a fire-assay determines their fitness to be mixed.
