4 I'RAZEE's Patent Upright Saw Mill, invented by NIT. Benj. Frazee, experienced mechanic for which he received letters patent, dated October s, ls53 since which time nearly hundre of them have been put ia operation in different parts of the United States and the value and efficiency thoroughly tested practical experiment has been examined by hundreds of the and machniss in the country, and it has been admitted hy al that for cheapness durability and efficiency superior anything of the kind before produced, and mus eventually take the place of nearly all the mil We purpose in this papert give plain statement of is construction, its advantages pnce and all particulars which those interested would wish know before purchasing.
 CONSTRUCTION.
 It composed of eight pieces of timber from five to eight feet long, o1r pieces of plank from four long and about fifteen hundred pounds of ron besides long bed pieces, carriage, small wooden fixtures pueys, etc The up and down saw, six and half or seven feet long, is used without sash gate muey and will saw timber of the largest smallest It very simple its construction that has but bearings little friction, and will therefore require much less power drive it than the complicated mills in general As much of the cumbrous machinery of other mill, such as large heavy frames, sash gates, disrenseI with his is much less liable get of order; whe its simplicity enables any of ordinary mechanical ability to repair or bnlld it. The amount of repairs required with fair usage is of insignificant import Another advantage of th mill is that work superior smoohnes and straight ness and of the lumber than most o mills The motive power usually sold with it is a simply constructed efficient and durable portable ensn of ten horse power with cylinder rom eight in diameter and fifteen inch stroke, together with locomotive boiler about twelve feet long, with thywo inch tubes feet long The front fire box is three and onehaf feet u diameter and four feet long. The front tubes are all heating surface. The engine and boiler together we gh abont 4OOO They constructed especially for this mill and are of requisite power drive it with sufficient rapdity cut over six thousand feet of ordinary inch eye twenty-four hour Wesuppy larger engines and boilers with the mill, sell the mill power when desired The whole affair, as shipped by us be at work in one day after 1t IS received at any given place.
 ITS PROBABILITY.
 One great point of superiority in the mill is its porab
 the ease with which be from place place taking the few pieces with which composed to he logs instead of hauling the logs from long distances to the mill This fact in regard to the mill the purchase of it. all cases, safe investment, it will always be saeabe property The whole establishment weighs about C5O pounds; aud with three oxteam, be easily moved at tho rate of from thirty to forty miles per day Thus when done its work at one place, it ready or, ehs upon the mountains. in the valleys, wherever the forea may require it's labor.

 To those who would wish buy Rights we would say this IS one of the best patents that be found There six thousand saw-mis built in the United States every veal ana th increase the number; for thousands now have mill who could when the cost of steam mil was four or five times what charge for this one
 The price of Rights ranges from five hundred to two sand per county, depending upon the amount of lumber population.
 For Mills and Machinery the money must be received deposited here St. Louis before they are shipped P chasers arrange with banker in their negbbood to make the necessary deposi here for them Most of orders for Mills coming from places where en- teprsing men had set in operaton and tested the satisfaction of the Iumbermen of the region. Of all the parties whonthe mills have been sold no one has expressed dissatisfaction, or regretted making ' purchase; but from all sections where these mills bssa tested, having calls for more.
