The true Democrat., 1856-12-09

presenting to the public the claims of this ma n chlnery, We will state that its production is the result o the combined efforts of several of the most practical machinists and experienced saw mill men in the country. ~ ~ " During the last few years we have examined many newinventlons and appliances in this connection, and nave consulted with several thousand mechanics luliy experienced in the use of machinery for the manufacture of lumber. During the last year we nave sold and shipped to various parts of this con- hent nearly one hundred steam mills, the results of Wmch have afforded us large amount of practical information, to the difficulties to be overcome the defects which have to be guarded against and the onlects to be obtained in machinery of this character The mill we offer does not claim its superioritv Noin any slngle improvement or patent which it may embrace, but combination of all the most yalua- bc improvements which could be included within slngle machine, added to which are several new ap- Phances lately patented, and others for which pat ehts nave been applied for. It has been thoroughly and practically tested. and has 1een examined by large number of well known scientific and experi- eneed mechanics, whose certificates we shall soon pupllsh, all:of whom pronounce it simple in its cohstrncon more durablc and more efficient in its operation than any mill ever before produced.
 The Motive Power.
 The engine and boiler which have been planned and constructed tor driving the 'Combnatiun Nilln are So compact and substantial and so easily man aged that almost every extensive farmer or planter would find them as convenient and valuable for the farm or plantation span of horses or yoke oxen No one need be deerred from becoming the possessor of this motive power, by apprehensons of difficulty in running or taking of it, for it is so smplifed as to be within the comprehension of any malicious person, who will note the instructions always fur nished with it.
 The Engine.
 The engine is nine feet long, has eight inch cy- finder, eighteen inch stroke with feed pump attached to and operated by the engine The driving pulley. which also serves for balance wheel is feet in di ameter and ten inch face.
 The boiler is of locomotive construction ten feet long, containing 4l tubes, 2 inches in diameter and six feet long: The shell is 34 inches in diameter. The fire box 36 inches long and 28 inches wide smoke pipe Is inches ill diameter and 30 feet long,
 The engine and boiler which we usually fur hls, may be rated at fourteen horse power which is sufficient to drive the mill, together with circular saw, shingie mill t small grist mill, or other ma chinery oi similar character. As surplus power is always of great advantage, this is the power we usually furnish with the mill.
 Prices.
 we furnish these mills and powers as described aoove, including all the screws bolts beltings erate oafs' saw pump, wrenches, crowbars and everything necessary 10 be used in or about the mills in runninc excepting the two long bed pieces and the wood work of the carriage, which easily be made anywhere the whole put up and boXed and delivered in this ei.y, on board the desired transportation lne for s16oo, with the addition of freight from New York. say c125. ' 10 parties desiring larger power, we will furnish an engine and boiler of eighteen horse power con stfucted Ill the same style the above, with mill containing an eight foot saw and other parts cores bonding. for 2.0OO.
 The above are our lowest cash terms, payable on delivery in the city,
 Portability and Freightage. The mil and power, as described above, all com pote weigh five tons. as follows:
 Boiler. with connections. 34OO lbs !.nglhe,. e,....--... -...................... 2.40O 4ooo .s The whole establishment, with four or five yoke of oxen either upon carts, wagons or tracks, can be easily moved at the rate of from l5 10 20 miles Der cay. The entire machinery can be taken apart and put together again in a very few hours time Thus the necessity of moving the logs long distance to the mH IS entirely obviated, as it is much cheaper to move the mill to the logs As it will be perceiycd there k no mason work required and no building unless the parties chose to rough shed to pro tect 1t and the operators from the weather
 How Much ii will Do.
 The speed of this min is about three hundred strokeS o he saw per minute and the feed from l to of an inch for every stroke depending upou the character of the timber. Thus, at a medium speed, the saw would cut through a log twelve feet long in from one to two minutes.
 From this data any practical man will see that it IS capable of cutting about 3500 feet of inch boards in l2 hours.
 It will saw more rapidly than any Mill we have ever seen. while its advantage over the circular Mill are that It IS cheaper, requires less power to it, Is much less liable to get out of order, is much less expensive to repair when damaged makes less i'm perfect work, wastes less in cutting s not dangerous to the parties attending it like the circular mil and IS capable of cutting much larger timber.
 The segments and friction which we furnish for the carnage are sufficient to logs twenty four feet long. An extra length will be sent when desired. and an extra charge made. The pump sent is worked hy the engine and is sufficient to raise water about twenty feet Where it is desirable to raise water to supply the boiler, from greater depth force pump Will De furnished and an extra charge made for it. Drawlngs and full explanations are sent with each mill, aso complete model, showing all the parts put together on small scale, with each part num- bered the same as che corresponding part on the ma chinerv of the mill. Thus assurance is made doubv sure that no one can fail to put up te mill and run it without trouble.
 The Combination MilP is confidently offered to the public as the most simple, efficient and practical ma enlne for manufacturing lumber. ever produced.
 Fatues desiring to see of these Mills in opera ton before purchasing. do by calling on us at st Lotus; also, parties desiring have their mill for warded to them from New Orleans La. can be &C., commodated-as we endeavor to keep them constant ly on hand. there, tceU 0s here.
 When convenient for purchasers to send in their ordersa week two in advance Of the time they want the mill shipped we would respectfully ask them to do so.
 No mill is considered ordered until at least s10o is paid on it.
