To repair and rebuild the levees the lower Mssis

By this machine the work be done for half the NOR

which is an important item.
All that Capt. Valley desires to introduce his nven

be exhibited and its merits shown, and to the person
thus furnishing the MEANS he proposes to give one
third interest, which we consider good investment
The machine is worked by steam power and will dig
and place on the levee r cutie yaa Of dirt per minute
at which rate it will pay for itself in about five days
work.
