The true Democrat., 1857-03-10

A chinery. will state that it's production is the result of the combined efforts of several of the nos practical machinists and experienced saw mill il the country.
 During the last few years we have examined many new inventions and appliances in this connection, ano have consulted with several thousand mechanics fully experienced in the of machinery for the manufacture of lumber. During the last year we have sold and shipped to various parts of this conti nent nearly one hundred steam mills, the results Of which have afforded q large amount of practical information. to the difficulties to be overcome the defects which have to be guarded against and the objects to be obtained in machinery o this character The mill offer does claim it's superiority from any single improvement or patent which it mas embrace but IS combination of all the most yaipa ble Improvements which could be included within q 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 thoroughly and practically tested and has 'een examined by q large number of well known scientific and eXper- enced mechanics, whose certificates we shall soon publish, all of whom pronounce it more simple in its construction. durable and more efficient in its operation than any mill ever before produced. 'Hhe Motive Power. The engine ant boiler which have hccn planned and constructed for driving the Conbination Mill r aged that aimcs. every extensive farmer or planter Wouid ind them as convenient and valuable for the iafm Or plantation as span UI horses oke of oXen No need be ieerred from becofrn the possessor Vi tHIN iotiNo power ny dilFtNtHSlDNe o1 GlHCultV in running or taking care o it, for it is smpGfed as to be within the comprehension of any iudcior. person, who will note tue instructions always fur nIshri with it.
 The Engine.
 The engine is nine feet long, has an eight inch cy.- inder, eighteen inch stroke with feed punp at,achel to and operated by the nginc. The driving puIe,- which also serves for balance wheel is feet in ii ameter and ten inch face.
 The boiler IS of locomotive construction ten feet 4 tt,l. JlL B, six feet long. The shell is 34 inches in diameter. Tie ire box 36 inches long and 2S inches wde smoke pie IS inches in diameter and 50 feet long.
 The engine and boiler which we usually fur ni,h may De rated at fourteen horse power which s sufficient to drive the mill together with circular o.w. Siunge mill. small grist mill or o,Lcr ma chnery of 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 above. including all the boiFs betings grate bars saw pump wrenches crow bars. and everythin necessary to be uscd in about the mills in rnnu, excepting the two long bed pieces aud the wood ,vot ot the carriage, which can ea>ily be made any where the whole put up and boxed. and delivered in this city, on board the desired transportation line f ' sf65O, with the addition of freight from New York say sI25.
 To parties desiring larger power. we will fnrnis} an engine and boiler of eighteen hose power con stTEcted n the eame style the above. with mil containing an eight foot and other parts cores bonding. for 2,O00.
 The above our lowest cash terms payable CT delivery in tie city.
 Portability and Freightnse.
 The mill and power, a- described above. all com pete weigh five tons. as follows:

 The whole establishment. with four or fve yoke ot eXen either uPon carts, wagons CT tricks. can be easily moved at the rate of from 5 70 miles per day. ' he enure machinery can be taken apart pu pHt together again in very few hours time Inn. the necessity ot moving the ogs long distance to the mill IS entirely obviated, it is much cheaper to move the mill to the logs A it will be perceived there is no mason work required. and no buildpg unless the parties chose to rough shed to pro tect 1t and the operators from the weather.
 How Much it will Do.
 The speed of this mill is about three hundred strokes of the per minute. and the feed from If to M Of an inch torevery stroke depending upon the character of the t her. Thus. at medium speed Ihe saw would cut through log twelve feet long in from one to two minutes
 From this data any practical man will see that it capable ot cutting about 35co feet of inch boards in l2 hours.
 It will saw more rapidly than any Mill we have ever seen, while it's advantage over the circular Mill are that 1t is cheaper, requires less power to run it. Is much less liable to get out of order is much less expenslve to repair when damaged. makes less i'm fVi SrC "oTh wastes less m cutting dauOerOus 70 the parties attending like the circular mill and l. capable of cuttina nnch larger timber
 he segnents and friction which We furnish for tho carnage are sufficient saw logs twenty ton, fnt long. An extra length will be sent when desired and an extra charge made The pump sent is worked ny she engne, and is sufficient to raise water ahon twenty feet Where it is desirable to raise ,vafr to supply the boiler from greater depth il force nnro, W'l he furnished and an extra eharpe made for if Dfawings and full explanations are sent with each hti, also, complete model, showing all the narts put together on small scale with each nort ,',,, oeied the same as the corresponding part on tba ma chlnery of the mill. Thus assurance is made dol sure, that 10 one can fail to put up the mill and rn1 it without trouble. ' 'i'a a 'l'
 The Combination Mill is confidently offered to tbe pubhc aS tine most simple. efficient and practical n, e cnIne for manufacturing lumber. ever prodnced
