" THE AMERICAN PUMP b

GREAT WoRK.-About a year 81,
after an examination of the above in,
ton, we gave in our columns a fayo,
notice of it, since which ample timo
been afforded to test its real merits VI
we learn has been successfully done :,
most every section of the Union, A.,
beautifully and handsomely improved
idencc erected Immediately upon tn.
of old Fort Independence, South YoD.
near Kingsbridgo, built, owned and
cupied by w. o. Giles, Esq, (of ,heh
Of Andrews, Giles & Co., 100 CHAM,
street, one of these pumps has been ..
operation. 1t is set in a reservoir
piled by two memorable springs, within
few yards of the old house and headon
ters (still standing) Of Gen. Montgor
BY invitation on Saturday last, in con.
ny with Mr.. James NJ. Edney, VIC Vi,
the above locality for the purpose witt
ing the operation of this pump. W.
present, Mr.. Edney and Mr.. Giles m
urcd the distance from the spring 70
house, which was found to be eight ha
red and S,rty-tieo feet and the perpep3
lar elevation was one hun2rel aM Il
eight teet. They then put the pun,
operation and through threo-quartcrr>
pipe, (which was very much agains.,
pump, being too small,) forced over
! gallons of water minute the above
ance and heigth by two men,o by one
and Mr.. Edney worked the pump d
with one hand. Mr.. Edney has such
fidencc in the pump, that he will guar
tee that two men will elevate water
hundred and fifty feet and carry It'll
zontally one thousand or more feet.
Giles has tried other methods of c.r
the water from the spring to the b.
which have proved to be slow, uncu
and expensive. Nothing has given ,
half the satisfaction Of the American n
and with this he appears much dcb..
We have no hesitation in PRONOUNCE
one Of the most ingenious inventions IL
way of hydraulics ever constructed,
1t can in all ordinary depths, be "
cd with the greatest ease by small
and its simplicity, durability, choa,
AMI adoption for forcing water Up T.
most any hcigth s.ycs it a decided al
tago over the majority o; other iuy,a
made for this rl.poso. For its sn.
appearance, its power il most wou!u
a man can put it on bis shoulder aul
ry it almost any distance. Th. !.
have only to witness the operation Z,
pump to be convinced that to- mach
not be said in commentator Of it. Z
who have experienced difficulty in
ting water up into high building, o.
great elevations, or who wish to o.
something Of substantial nature, r
tritling expense, easily worked by la
power, will find iu the American p
all they need combined, for it di,c'n
at any number Of given points, anu m
water by hose from thirty to forty lya
hand, with great case and regularity.
