STEAM SAW MILL. IN presenting the public the claims of this ma n chincry, will state that it's production is the result of the combined efforts of several of the most practical machinists and experienced saw mill men in | the country.
 1 During the last few years we have examined many newnventions 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 have sold and shipped to various parts of this cont nent nearly hundred steam mills the results of which have afforded us 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 of this character The mill now offer does not claim its superiority from any single improvement patent which it may embrace, but combination of all the most vaua- ble improvements which could be included within q single machine, added to which are several ap- pliances lately patented and others for which pat ents have been applied for. It has been thoroughly and practically tested, and has examined by large number of well known scientific and cxperi- enced mechanics. whose certificates we shall soon publish. all of whom pronounce it more simple in its construction, durable and 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 ''Combuation Milln are so compact and substantial, and so easily aged that almost every extensive farmer planter, would find them as convenient and valuable for the farm CT plantation span of horses yoke of Oxcn NO one need lcLefreu rom DecofHing the of this motive power. by apprehensons of difficulty in running taking Of it. for it is so simplfed as to be within the comprehension of my malicious person, who will note the instructions always fur nished with it.

The driving pulley, which also serves for balance wheel is feet in d- aineter and ten inch face.

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 bots beltngs gratc l bars saw. pump, wrenches crowbars and everything necessary to be used .n or about the mills in running excepting the two long bed pieces and the wood work of the carriage. which easily be made anywhere 1 the whole put up and boxed. and delivered in this city, on board the desired transportation line for siG50, with the addition of freight from New York say s12o

 The whole establishment. with four or five yota of cart ,ly easily moved at the rate of from l5 O 20 miles Der day The entire machinery can be taken apart and pat together again i'll very few hours time. Thus the necessity of moving the logs long distance to the mill, is entirely obviated, 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 erect rough shed o r6 tcct 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 X to M of an inch for every stroke, depending upon the character of the timber. Thus at medium speed from to two minutes
 From this data any practical man will see that it capable of cntting about 35o0 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 run it. IS much less liable to get out of order is much less expensive to repair when damaged, makes less i'm
 
 to the parties attending it like the circular mill and is capable of cutting much larger timber. 1 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 an 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, a 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 on small scale with each part mum bered the same as the corresponding part on the ma. chinery of the mill. Thus assurance is made doublv sure that no one can fail to put up the mill and run it without trouble
 The Combination Mill is confidently offered to the public the most simple efficient and practical na- cnine for manufacturing lumber, ever produced
 Parties desiring to of these Mills in opera- tion before purchasing, can 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- commodated-as we endeavor to keep them constant ly on hand, there, ueH as here
