MILLS
: a Il e N II

EUST COMPLETED, and aowsin fun ope
a. ration, at my residence in Shenandoah
County On the North fork of the Shenandoal
River, nine miles south of Woodstock, and close
1 to the Va Hey Turnpike. set q Of NEWLY
INV e MTED TELLS, grinding IN.
| der head of water only four feet high-one
Of the Mill-stones being three feet six inches,
and the other three feet niue inches n dame
ter-at the rate Of from $50 to 200 bushels Of
meal each in twenty for hours.
These mills are just introduced amongst us,
though they are, as am informed, extensively
! used in A labama, Georgia, the Caroiinas, and
are now spreading over the State of Virginia
! Much has been said in the Southern papers
concerning them, and particularly in the Rich~
mond Enqu;rer-and as those of nine are nov
grinding IN all their beauty, if might not be
considered aqiss for you to lay before your
readers soma of the particulars of this new,
simple, and most wonderful system of grind
ing.
These mills differ from all others in the form
and construction of laying the water OH the
wheel, anil amongst the many who have seen
the model of this water power, it is a conceded
| point, that It never can be exceled. From
the materials Of rhich these mills are made,
and the principles upon which they are built,
| II does seem to me, that they must certainly
| last considerable length of time, and not
much, if at all liable to get olt of order. They
certainly are tie strongest built mills [ ever
saw-a great part of, the running gear beng
black locust These mills also differ in the
cut of the mill stones. and the long patent
Spindle which is constructed 50 as wholly to
prevent the mill stones from ever touching
or in any way doing violence to one another
bv rubbing. These mills differ very much in
other important points, greatly to the advan-
tage of the Patent Mills, and they are certain
ly in the end infinitely the best and cheapest
mills that can be built. They also differ from
| other millsin the bus'4ng-they do not require
tallow or greasing CT any kind-they have
neither cog. wheel nor tunnel head-and in
fact hsyc but one small wheel attached to
them, and that invisibly running under the wa
ter They also dsfi.r IN the short time and
few hands il takes to build them. And another
important difference is, that they are not stop
ped bv every little freshet, bit on the contra
~, when the water was very high a few days
since, and the wheel was four feet under the
water, they ground trinmphantly all the time.
I Mechanics, mill owners and all, can call and
see them and Judge for themselves. They
have already received the high encomiums OF
those who have witnessed their performance.
With the exception of one other. that of Mr.
John ]. Allen, they are the first mills built up
on this plan in the Valley, and like all pre-
valing truth, they invite the most rigid lnspec.
ton. Yours very respectfully,
