STEAM SAW MILL. FIN presenting to the public the claims of this ma A chinery, will state that its production is the result of the combined efforts of several of the most practical machinists and experienced saw min men in the country.
 During the last few years We have examined many new inventions and appliances in this connecticut and have consulted with several thousand mechanics, fully experienced in the use of machinery for the manufacture of lumber. During the last year we have sold and shipped to various parts of this conti- nent nearly hundred steam mills the results of which have afforded us q 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 of this character. The mill we offer does not claim it's superiority from any single improvement or patent which it may embrace, but combination of all the most valua- ble Improvements which could be included within a single machine, added to which are several new ap- pllances lately patented and others for which pat ents have been applied for. It has been thoroughly and practically tested, and has neen examined by large number of well known scientific and exper- enced mechanics whose certificates we shall soon publish, all of whom pronounce it moro simple in its construction, more durable and more efficient in its operation than any mill ever before produced.
 The Motive Power.
 The engine and boiler, wbich have been planned and constructed tor driving the 'Combination Mill" are so compact and substantial, and easily man aged that almost every extensive farmer planter would find them as convenient and valuable for the IdII or pantaLOn as span or horses or yoke 0f No one need be deerred from becoming the posessor of this motive power, by apprehensions of difficulty in running or taking of it, for 1t simplifed as to be within the com rehensou vf any malicious person, who will note the instructions always fur usAcu with it.
 The Engine.
 The engine is nine feet long, has an eight inch cyl- nder eighteen inch stroke. with feed pump attached to and operated by tho 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 Al tubes 2A inches in diameter and six feet long. The shell is 3t 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 usually fur nsh, may be rated at fourteen horse power which is sufficient to drive the mill together with circular saw, shinee mill. small grist mill. or other ma chinerv 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 bolts, beltings grate bars. saw, pump, wrenches. crowbars and everything necessary to be used in about the mills in running excepting the two long bed pieces and the wood work of the carriage, which easily be made anywhere the whole put up and boxed, and delivered in this city, board the desired transportation line for sI85O. with the addition of freight from New York say S12s.
 To parties desiring larger power, we will furnish an engine and boiler of eighteen horse power con structed in the same style the above, with mill containing eight foot saw, and other parts cores bonding. for 2.OO0.
 The above lowest cash terms, payable on delivery i'll the city.
 Portability and Freightage. The mill and power as described above all com plete weigh five tons, follows:
 Boiler, with connections. ........... 3,400 lbs. Engine, ......................... 2.400 's
 Mil, ll,........................ 200 The whole establishment with four or five yoke of oxen, either upon carts, wagons tracks, can be easily moved at the rate of from l5 20 miles per day. The entire machinery can be taken apart and put together again in a 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 rough shed to pro- ect it 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 1 to 3 of an inch for every stroke, depending upon the character of the timber. Thus, at a medium 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 $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 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 perfect work wastes less in cutting s not dangerous to the parties attending it like the circular m 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 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, force pump will be furnished and extra charge made for it,. Drawings and full explanations are sent with each mill also, a complete model showing all the parts put together on a small scale, with each part num- bered the che corresponding part on the ma chinery of the mill. Thus assurance is made doubly sure that fail to put up the mill and run it without trouble.
 The Combination Mill' is confidently offered to the public as the most simple efficient and practical ma cnine for manufacturing lumber. ever produced
 Parties desiring to one of these Mills in opera ton before purchasing, do by calling on us at St. Louis also, parties desiring to have their mill for wa roed to them from New Orleans La. can be ac- commodated-as we endeavor to keep them constant ly on hand there. aceU 0s here When convenient for purchasers to send in their orders week two in advance of the time they want the mill shipped we would respectfully ask them to do so.
 No mill is considered ordered until at least slOo is paid on it.
 All orders should be addressed to
