I,RAZEES Patent Upright Mill, was invented by Mr. Benj Frazee an experienced mechanic, for which he received letters patent dated October l6 1853, which time nearly hundred of them have been put in operation in different parts of the United States and value and efficiency thoroughly tested by practical experiment. It has been examined by hundreds the mechanics and machinsts in the country and it has been admitted by all that for cheapnes, durability and efficiency is far superior to anything of the kind before produced, eventually take the place of nearly all the mills in We purpose in this paper give plain of its constucton its advantages puce, and all particulars which those interested would wish to know before purchasing

 composed of eight pieces timber from five to eight feet long, four pieces of plank from four feet long, about fifteen hundred pounds of iron, besides long bed pieces, carriage, small wooden fxtures puleys, The common up and down saw, six and nehaf seven feet long, is used without sashgate muley, and will timber of the largest smallest size It very simple in its construction that it has but few bearings seQueny little friction, and will therefore require much power to drive it than the complicated mills general As much of the cumbrous machinery of other mills, such large heavy frames, sash gate etc. dispensed with this, is much less liable get of order; while its simplicity enables of ordinary mechanical ability repair build it. The of repairs required with fair usage is of insignificant import Another advantage of this mill is that work superio smoothnes and straight and that away less of the lumber than other
 
 constructed yet efficient and durable portable engine of horse power with cylinder eight inches in diameter and fifteen inch stroke together with locomotive boiler about twelve feet long, with thrtywo inch tubes six feet long, The front ebox is three and half feet diameter and four feet long.

 PROT ABILITY.
 One great point of superiority in the mill is portability the with which be moved from place place, taking the few pieces with which it is composed to the logs, instead of hauling the logs from long distances the m This fact, in regard the mill renders the purchase all safe investment, as will always be saeable property The whole establishment weighs about G,500 pounds aud with three oxteams, be easily moved the rate of from thirty forty miles day Thus, when has done work place, it is ready on either upon the mountains the valleys, wherever the may require its labor
 MUCH DO!
 Any of these ms with eight horse power drive it, capable of cutting six thousand feet oordnary boards every twenty four hours be made do than this, by n extraneous effort

 circular saw for Iath and other light saving can be a tached with very little expense and parties have added small grist m and the whole was worked without power.
 To those who would wish to buy Rights, would say that this of patents that be found There built in the United every year, and this patent will the number; for thousands mill who could not Gshen the of mill four or five times what we charge for this
 The price of Rights ranges from five hundred sand county depending upon the of lumber and population
 For Mills and Machinery the money must be received deposited here in St. Louis before they shipped Pur. chasers arrange with banker in their neghbohood make the necessary deposit here for them. Most of orders for Mills coming from places where erpng had set operation, and tested the satisfaction of the inmbermen of the region.
 Of all the parties whom the mills have been sold has expressed dissatisfaction, regretted making puchase but from all sections where these mills been tested, having calls for
 Strangers respectfully invited to call oice and will direct them of these Mills operation this city, which being visited by large numbers day We would suggest to those living distance, who desire personal examination, that they write friend St. Louis to make the investigation for them We have made arrangements with the popular and we'll known firm of KINGsLAND k CUDDY, Broadway Foundry, of this city, for the manufacory of these MILLS All orders must be addressed to DR.
