STEAM SAW MILL. IN presenting to the public the claims of this II chnery, will state that its production is the result of the combined efforts of several of the most practical machinists 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 use of machinery Tor the manufacture of lumber. During the last year we have sold and shipped to various parts ot ths cohU nent nearly one hundred steam mills, the results oi which have afforded us large amount o1 prac1cal information as 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 we now offer does not claim its superiority from any single improvement or patent which 1t may embrace but as a combination of all the most valua- ble improvements which could be included within a single machine, added to which are several new ap- piances lately patented, and others for which pat ents have been applied for. It has been thoroughly and practically tested, and has oeen examined by large number of well known scientific and experi- enced mechanics whose certificates we shall soon publish, all of whom pronounce it more simple in its construction, more durable and more efficient Ill Its operation than any mill ever before produced.
 The Motive Power.
 The engine and boiler, wbch have been planned and constructed for driving the ''Combnation Mill, !, are so compact and substantial, and so easily man. aged that almost every extensive farmer or planter would find them as convenient and valuable for the farm plantation span of horses yoke of oxen No one need be deterred from becoming the possessoI of this motive power, by apprehensons of difficulty in running taking of it, for it is simplifed as to be within the comprehension of any malicious person, who will note the instructions always fur nisheQ with it.
 The Engine.
 The engine is nine feet long, has an eight inch cyl inder eighteen inch stroke with feed pump attached to and operated by the engine. The driving pulley vb alc forh haanca wheel is | feet Ii ameter and ten inch face
 The boiler is of locomotive construction, ten fec long containing fl tubes 2114 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 usually fur nsh, may be rated at fourteen horse power, which i sufficient to drive the mill, together with circular chinery of a similar character. As surplus power il always of great advantage, this is the power Vt usually furnish with the mill.
 Prices.
 We furnish these mills and powers described above, including all the screws, bolts, beltngs grat 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 worl of the carriage. which can easily be made anywhere the whole put up and boxed, and delivered in th city. on board the desired transportation line, fol s1G5O. with the addition of freight from New York say Sf25.
 To parties desiring larger power, will furnsl an engine and boiler of eighteen horse power. con structed in the style the above with a mil containing eight foot saw, and other parts cores bonding. for 2.OOO.
 The above are our lowest cash terms, payable oI delivery in the city.
 Portability and Freightage.
 The mill and power, as described above, all com plete weigh five tons, as follows:
 Boiler, with connections, ............ 4o0 lbs.
 Engine. ................... 2.4pO =
 The whole establishment, with four or five yoke o oxen, either upon carts, wagons or trAcks, can bt easily moved at the rate of from l5 O 20 miles pcl 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 obyiated as it is much cheaper tC move the mill to the logs. As it will be perceived there k mason work required, and no building unless the parties chose rough shed to pro tect it 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 + M of an inch for every stroke, depending upon tho character of the timber Thus at a medium speed the would cut through d log twelve feet long il from one to two minutes.
 From this data any practical man will see that il is capable of cutting about 3500 feet of inch boards il l2 hours.
 It will saw more rapidly than any Mill We have VI are that it is cheaper requires less power to run it is much less liable to get out of order is much les expensive 10 repair when damaged makes less i'm perfect work wastes less in cutting is dangerous to the parties attending it like the circular mill anG iS capable of cutting much larger timber.
 The segmen.s and friction which we furnish for the carriage are sufficient to logs twenty four fee long. An extra length will be sent when desired and an extra charge made The pump sent is worked by the engine and a sufficient to raise water abou twenty feet here ii is desirable to raise wafer t supply the boiler. from greater depth force puml will be furnished and extra large made for it. Drawings and full explanations are sent with eacl mill. also. complete model, showing all the part put together on q small scale, with each part mum bered the same as the corresponding part on the ma chiuery of the mill. Thus assurance is made doubl sure. that no one can fail to put up the mil and ru it without trouble
 The Combination Mill is confidently offered to tn public as the most simple. efficient and practical ma ! cnine for manufacturing lumber ever produced.
 Parties desiring to see one of these Mills in opera ton before purchasing can do so by calling on us St Lous also parties desiring have their mill for warded to them from New Orleans. La, can be ac ccmnodatel-as as we enleavor to keep them constant ly on hand. there aS 1ceH as here When convenient for purchasers to send in thei orders week or two in advance ol the time they wan the mill shipped we would respectfully ask them t do so.
 No mill is considered ordered until at least 500 paid on it.
