The true Democrat., 1856-12-02

presenting to the public the claims of this ma A chlnery, We will state that it's production is the result oi the combined efforts of several of the most practical machnists and experienced saw mill men in the country. ' ''-N III During the last few years we have examined many new inventions and appliances in this connection and nave consulted with several thousand mechanics Iuiy experienced Ill the Use of machinery for th. manufacture of lumber. During the last year we nave sold and shipped to various parts of this con nent nearly one hundred steam mills the r,snlts nt when nave afforded us large amount of practical information as to the difficulties to be overcome tbn deiects which have to be guarded apainst and the 0ects 10 be obtained in machinery of this character The mill we now offer does not claim it's snner;or;t V rom any singe improvement or patent which it may embrace, but as combination of all the most vslua Die improvements which could be included within a slngle machine, added to which are several new ap pilances lately patented, and others for which pat entS nave been applied for. It has been thoroughly and practically tested and has aeen examined bv :, large number of well known scientific and exner; ehced mechanics. whose certificates we shall soon puosh, all of whom pronounce it more simple in ifs eonstfueuon' more durable 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 Co,nbination Mil ,, are so compact and substantial, and so easily man aged that almost every extensive farmer or planter wouid ma them as convenient and valuable for the farm or plantation span of horses or yoke oxen NO one need be deterred from becoming the pssessor ol thls motive power, by apprchenSons of difficult, m running or taking of it. for it is so simplfed 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 an eiobt inch cvl lnder eighteen inch stroke with feed pnmp attached to and operated by the engine. The drivinp puliev winch also serves for balance wheel is feet in d ametcr and ten inch face.
 he ic of long containing fl tubes 2L inches in diameter and SIX SIX feet long The shell is 34 inches in diameter ne hre box 36 inches long and 2S inches wde smoke pipe IS inches Tn diameter and 30 feet long.
 The engine and boiler which we usuallv fnr nsh may be rated at fourteen horse power which is sufficient to drive the mill, together with circular saw, shinge mill. small grist mill or other ma chihery oi similar character As surplus power is aIwaNS ot great advantage. this is the power we usually furnish with the mill.
 Prices.
 We furnish these mills and powers as described above, including all the screws. bolts betinps crate bars saw, pump. wrenchcs. crowbars and evervthino necessary to De used in or about the mills in running excepting the two long bed pieces and the wood work oi the carriage which can easily be made anywhere the whole put up and boxed. and delivered in this city. on board the desired transportation line for sl6oO. with the addition of freight from New York say sI25
 To parties desi'ing larger power. we will furnish an cnglne and boiler of eighteen horse power con structed III the same style the above. with mill containing an eight foot and other parts cores bonding. for 2.000.
 The above are our lowest cash terms pavable on delivery in the city.
 Portability and Freightage
 The mill and power as described above all con- pete weigh five tons. as follows:
 H"lIer. i with connexions ns........ 34oo lbs. f.ngIne, ......................... 2.4O0 :! ............ ono :. The whole establishment with four or five yoke of oxen either upon carts. wagons or tr cks can be easily moved at the rate of from 5 O 2o miles per day. The entre machinery can be taken apart and put together again in very few hours time. Thus t necessity of moving the logs long distance to the mill, Is entirely obviated, as it is much cheaper to move the mill to the logs. As it will be perceived there Is no mason work required, and no building. unless the parties chose to rough shed to pro- tecC It and the operators from the weather.
 How Much il will Do.
 The speed of this mill is about three hundred strokes of the per minute and the feed from 15 to M of all inch for every stroke depending upon the character of the timber. Thus. at a me dnm speed the saw would cut through 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 5500 feet of inch boards F hours.
 It will saw more rapidly than any Mil we have ever while its advantage over the circular Mil are that 1t Is cheaper requires less power to run it. IS much less liable to get out of order is much less expensive to repalr when damaged. makes less i'm perfect work, wastes less in cutting is not dangerous to the parties attending it like the circular mill and Is capable of cutting much larger timber.
 The segments and friction which we furnish for the carriage sufficient saw logs twenty four feet long. An extra length will be sent when desired and an extra charge made The pump sent is worked by the engine, and is spSicent to raise water about twenty feet Where it is desirable to raise water to supply the boiler, from greater depth d force pump will be furnished and an extra charge made for it. Drawings and full explanations are sent with each nlill also. complete model, showing all the parts put together on small scale, with each part mum bered the same the corresponding part on the ma chinery of the mill. Thus assurance is made doublv sure that no one fail to put up tile mill and run it without trouble.
 The Combination Mill' is confidently offered to the public the most simple efficient and practical ma chine for manufacturing lumber ever produced.
 Patics desiring to see of these Mills in opera ton before purchasing, do by calling on Us at St. Louis also, parties desiring have their mill for warded to them from New Orleans, La.. can be ac- conmodated-as we endeavor to keep them constant ly on hand, there, as WeU os heye
 When convenient for purchasers to send in their orders week or two in advance o the time they want the mill shipped we would respectfully ask them to do
 No mill is considered ordered until at least 500 is paid on it.
