The true Democrat., 1856-12-23


 N presenting to the public the claims of this ma A ehinery, will state that it's production is the result of the combined efforts of several of the most practical machnists and experienced mill men in the country.
 During the last few years we have examined many new inventions and appliances in this connection and nave consulted with several thousand mechanics, iuiIy expeHeneed Tn the use of machinery for the manufacture of lumber. During the last year we have sold and shipped various parts of this conti- nent nearly one hundred steam mills the results of winch have afforded large amount of practical intormaiion as to the difficulties to be the defects which have to be guarded against, and the objects to be obtained in machinery of this character Ile mill we now offer does not claim it's superiority ToInsiny single improvement or patent which it may embrace, but as combination of ali the most valla- ble improvements which could be included within single machine, added to which are several new ap- pliances lately patented and others for which pat. ents have been applied for It has been tIorouably and practically tested, and has neen examined by large number of well known scientific and experi- enced mechanics whose certificates shall soon punlsh, all or whom pronounce it more simple in it's eonstruetlo more durable and more efficient in it's operation than any mill ever before produced.
 The Motive Power.
 The engine and boiler, which have been planned and constructed for driving the "Combinaton Mill" are so compact and substantial, and easily man. aged that almost every extensive farmer or planter would ind them convenient and valuable for the Isfn or plantation as span of horses yoke of oXen No one need be deterred from becoming the noseSsor
 [. Tn running or taking care of it. for it is simpfed as to be within the comprehension of any iudcious person, who will note the instructions always fur nshed with it.
 The Engine.
 The engine is nine feet long has an eight inch oyl- lnder, 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 d ameter and ten inch face.
 The boiler is of locomotive construction ten feet long containing 4l tphes 2A inches in diameter and six feet long. The shell is 4 inches in diameter The fire box 86 inches long anI 2S inches wide smoke plo IS lnches iu diameter and 30 feet long.
 Y he engine and boiler which we usually fur nlSh may bo rated at fourteen horse power which is sufficient to drive the mill together with circular saw Shingie mil. small grist mill or other ma chinery of a 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 crate oars, say" pnmp, wrenches. crowbars and everything necessary to be used in about the mills in running excepting the two long bed pieces and the wood work ot the carriage, which easily be made anywhere the whole put up and boxed, and delivered in this cl'y, on board the desired transportation line for Say sI25. ' To parties desiring larger power. we will fnrnisb m engine and boiler of eighteen horse power con structed ln the same sty le the above with a mill cohlnlhg an eight foot saw, and other parts cores ponding. for o.000.
 The above are our lowest cash terms pavablo on delivery in the city.
 Portability and Freightage.
 The min and power, as described above, all con- plete weigh five tons, as ioilows
 P"l Po'Ier, "itA conn'etions'- 84co lbs. hlliI,.-. ............... 900 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 l5 10 20 miles ner la ia+ put together again ill very few hours time Thus the necessity of moving the logs long distance to the lnll IS entirely obvated it is much cheaper to lnoNe tho mil to the logs. As 1t will be perceived there Is no mason work required, and no building unless the parties chose erect rough shed to pro feet it and the operators from the weather
 How Guca it will Dc.
 The spee,l of this mill is about three hundred strokes of the per minute. and the feed from I6 so 4 of an inch revery stroke depending upon the character Of tine timber Thus, at medium speed the saw would cut through log twelve feet long in from ono to two minutes.
 From this data any practical man will see that it R capable of cutting about $500 feet of inch boards in T. hour.
 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 run it. is much less liable to get out of order is much less expensive to repair when damaged makes less m- perfect worN 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 are sufficient tO logs twenty four feet long. An extra length will he sent when desired and an extra charge made. The pump sent is worked hy the engine, and s sufficient to raise water about twenty feet " here 1t is desirable to raise water to supply the boiler, from greater depth, force pump NlE De furnished Gpd an extra charge made for it. DrswIngs anl full explanations are sent with each ilili, also. complete model, showing all the parts but together on a small scale with each part num- heied the same as Che corresponding part on the ma chinery of the mill. Thus assurance is made doubIy sure that no one can fail to pat up the mill and run it without trouble.
 The Combination Mill is confidently offered to the public as the most simple. efficient and practical paa- cnlne for manufacturing lumber, ever produced FalheS desllng to see one of these Mills in opera tion before purchasing do so by calling on us at St. onis; also parties desiring have their mill for wsrted to them from New Orleans La can be ac- commodated-as endeayor to keep them constant ly on hand, there, pelB ds htre.
 " hen convenient for purchasers to send in their orders week two in advance o the time they want the mill shipped we would respectfully ask them to do so
 No mill is eon>dered ordered until at least s0o ia paid on t.
 All orders should be addressed to
