The true Democrat., 1857-02-10

E N presenting to the public the claims of this ma IL chnery, we will state that it's production is the result of the combined efforts of several of the most practical machnsts 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, iuliy experienced m 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 one hundred steam mills. the results of winch have afforded large amount of practical information. as 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 offer does not claim it's superiority from any single improvement patent which it may embrace. but as combination of all the most vaua- be improvements which could be included within single machine added to which several new ap- Pances 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 experi- enced mechanics whose certificates we shall soon publish all of whom pronounce it simple in its construction 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 "Comhnation Mill" are compact and substantial. and easily man aged that almost every extensive trmcr planter, would find them aS convenient and valuable for the farm or plantation span of horses yoke of oNcn No need be deerrel from becolsing the posSessor of this motive power, by apprcheusons of difficulty in running taking ot it. for it is So sim mJ,fed ls to be within the comprehension of any iudcious person. who will note the instructions always fur nshtd with it.
 The Engine.
 The engine is nine feet long has an eight inch cv- iAder, eighteen inch stroke with feed pump attached to and operated by the 'ngne. The driving puliey which also serves for balance wheel Is feet in d- ameter and ten inch face.
 k of tic,, ff.ot long. containing Il tnbes 2l inches in diameter and -ix feet long. The shell is 34 inches in diameter
 The fire box 85 inches long and 2S inches wicc smoke pipe Is inches in diameter and 90 feet long i The engine and boiler which we usually fur nish. may be rated at fourteen horse power which sufficient to drive the mill together with a circular saw, sdnele mill. II small grist mill, or other chncry of similar character. As surplus power is always of great advantage, this is the power we usliaily furnish with the mill

 | We furnish these mills and powers az described above including all the screws. bolts hcl,ings gru,e bars, saw. pump. wrenchcS crowharS and everything necessary be used ,n or about the min. in running excepting the two long bed pieces and thc wood work Of the carriage. which can easily be made anywhere the whole DE; up and boxed. and delivered in this city on board the desired trans -portation line for siG5O, with the addition of freight from New York say si23.
 To parties de>'ing lnrgtr power, we will furnish an engine and boiler Of eighteen hoisc lower con structel in the ~tyle+ts the above with d mill containing eight foot saw and other palts cores bonding. for 2-OO0.
 The above are our lowest cash terms, payable on delivery in the city.

 The whole establishment with four or five yoke of oxen. either upon carts wagons tr ,eks. can be easily moved at the rate of from l5 20 miles per day. The entire machinery can be taken apart and pat together again in very few hours time Thus the necessity of moving the logs long distance the mill, IS entirely ob1iated it is much cheaper to move the mill to the logs. As it will be perceived there Is no mason work required. and no buildino nnIess the parties chose to erect rough shed to pro- tect It and the operators from tie weather.
 How Much it will Do. | The speed Of this mill is about three bundrod Strokes or the sa" per minute. and the feed from k to "A o an men every stroke depending upon the character of the timber. Thus, at a nedinm spe.d the saw would cut through a log twelve feet loro ; from one to two minutes.
 From this data any practical man win sec that it IS capable of cutting about 550o feet of inch boards in l2 hours.
 It will saw more rapidly than any Mill we have ever while its advantage the circular Mil are that 1t Is cheaper requires less power to run it. is much less liable get out of order is much less
  perfect work, 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 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 extra eharge made for it. Drawings and full explanations are sent with each mi also. complete model showing all the parts put together q small scale, with each part num- bered the same as the corresponding part on the ma chinery of the mill. Thus assurance is made doubly sure that no one fail to put up te mill and run 1t without trouble
 The Combination MilP is confidently offered to the public as the most simple efficient and practical ma- chine 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 min for warded to them from New Orleans La. can be ac coinmodated-as as we endeavor to keep them constant y on hand. there ds aceU Gs here.
