Early last year, Messrs. Wm. Watson and Co., (late Watson
Brothers,) applied to Thos. Milner and Son, to construct for
them one of their strong Holdfast S hests, to contain
101000 dol'ars in silver, for its convevance over the moun-
tains from the mines to T 'co. The Gentleman writing for
the Safe was at the e lying confined to his bed from a
bullet and two ba .et wounds he had received in an attack of
the Mexican r ers on a valuable convoy, in which the Safe
he then use as broken up and plundered of a large amount
pec of sioe The Safe and WagonV constructed for it were ex-
...

with great approval from several of our engineers and prat.
tical men, and doubtless will be in the recollection of the
Public, and we have great pleasu -
received the following poll
Watson, who has sine

given us permission to publi

"Derby Buildings, 20th September, 1850.

" Mr. W

"The Iron Waggon and Safe, (ex Josphine,) with Sixty Bars
•f Silver, was attacked by Forty-five Robbers, between Catore
and San Luis Potosi, and they worked twelve hours to open the
Chest, and did not succeed; meantime assistance came from
San Luis Potosi.
" This is very satisfactory, and does you credit, and will, no

ioubt, lead to fiirther orders."
The whole of the outside of this Safe was half
nrnnf atrainst sledze-hammers, chisels, or

other-vio-

lence, and well it did its duty. We have at this time a numbk
of large Banker's and Merchant's Safes in course of construc
tion—one for a Diamond Merchant in London—of which we
invite the attention of the Public. Our Works are the most
extensive and complete of their class in the world, employing
more experienced Workmen (upwards of 100, assisted by the
most approved and powerful machinery) than all the Safe-
makers in England together—a Lancashire Workshop well
worth looking over. Its ',Thole operations—from the cuttinr
up and working of the Wrought-iron Plates and Bs-.
thickness of a half-crown to that of its diameter,
building up of these superb and massive Safes—the filling of
their chambers with the Fire-resisting materials—the arrange-
ment of their powerful Hinges, Bolts, and impregnable Locks
—altogether are well worthy of the study of the Mechanic and
the Man of Science.
