N presenting to the public the claims of this
 chincry, we will state that its production is the result of the combined efforts of several of the most practical rnachinists and experienced saw mill men in the country
 | During the last few years we have examined many new inventions and appliances in this connection, and 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 Us large amount of practical information to the difficulties be overcome the defects which have to be guarded against, and the objects to be obtained in machinery this character The mill We now offer does claim ts superiority from any single improvement patent which it may embrace. but B combination of all the most yaua- hle improvemet wI'@ eould be included wChin single machinn aoded fr which are ~rv'ral ap- pliances lately patent ant q her. for which pat ents have been applied ha- oecn thoroughly and practically tet au. aa- examined by a large number .uoWu -cicntis. and experi- enccd mechaH;,- Wi .erl fratr- We shall soon publish all of pronounce lr luu simple in its construction, 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 -Combination MIn are compact and substantial and so easily man aged that almost every extensive farmer or planter. would find them convenient and valuable for the farm or plantation span of horses yoke of oxen. No one necd be deterrc from becoming the po-Sessor of this motive power by apprehension. of difficulty in running taking o 1t, for it is so simpiifed as to be within the comprehension of any iudicous person. who will note the instructions always fur nished with it.
 The Engine.
 The engine is nine feet long. has eight inch cyl sder, 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 fl tubes 4 inches in diameter and six feet long The shell is 34 inches in diameter The fire box 36 inches long and 2s inches wide smoke pipe IS inches in diameter and 30 feet long.
 The engine and boiler which we usually fur nish may be rated at fourteen horse power, which is sufficient to drive the mill, together with circular saw, shingle mill, small grist mill, other 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 screws. bots beltings grate bars, saw pump wrenches crowbars and everything necessary be used in about the mills in running excepting the two long bed pieces and the wood work of 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 s1G1O. with the addition of freight from New York say SI25.
 To parties desiring larger power, we will furnish an engine and boiler of eighteen horse power con srueted in the style us the above with mill containing an eight foot saw and other parts cores poudng, for 2,OO0.
 The above our lowest cash terms, payable on deliver. in the city.
 Portability and Freishtage.
 The mill and power, described above. all com pletc weigh five tons. follows:
 Boiler with connections, ............ 400 lbs

 The whole establishment, with four or five yoke of oxen, either upon carts, wagons tr 4cks. can be easily moved at the of from l5 20 miles per day. The entire machinery can be taken apart and put together again in very few hours time Thus the necessity of moving the logs long distance to the mill. Is entirely obvated, it is much cheaper to move the mill to the logs As it will be perceived there is work required and no building 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 saw per minute and the feed from 15 to % of an inch for every stroke depending upon the character of the timber. Thus, at a medium speed the 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 $500 feet of inch boards in l2 hours.
 It will saw more rapidly than any Mill we have ever seen. while its advantage 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 i'm perfect work wastes less in cutting is not dangerous 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 to logs twenty four feet long. An extra length will be sent when desired and extra charge made The pump sent is worked by 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 be furnished and an extra charge made for it. Drawings and full explanations are sent with each mill, also, complete model showing all the parts put together small scale, with each part num- oered the same as the corresponding part on the ma chinery of the mill. Thus assurance is made doubly sure that no one can fail to put up the mill and run | 1t without trouble.
 The Combination Milr is confidently offered to the puohc as the most simple, efficient and practical ma chne for manufacturing lumber ever produced raftes desiring to see one of these Mills in opera uon before purchasing do so by calling on s at st. Louls also parties desiring to have their mill for wsrded to them from New Orleans, La. can he ac- comfnodated.- we endeavor to keep them constant ly on hand, there, as soeU as Ae,e | When convenient for purchasers to send in tbe;r ofoers week or two in advance of the time they " ami the mill shipped we would respectfully ask them to do so.
