The fact that Mr.. Stewart has entire

Nevada, should be sufficient reason,
if there were no other, to cause the

conceded fact that Senator Stewart

BY means Of recently invented and most
Ingenious saw, the hardest varieties of rock
may be cut into slabs Gightlse greatest ease snd
rapidity, the speed Of cutting being some ten TO
thirty times greater than by any other means
heretofore employed.
This machine, called the reciprocailng dia.
mond saw, will, tits claimed, make narrower
kert, produce an average better quality Of work,
saw the material as thin as is desired and all
this for one third Of the power and cost usually
required.
The cost for diamonds aud setting in this
machine is stated TO be less than for the sand
and iron necessary to do the same quantity oI
work BY the old method; and in saving marble
this cost will, il is claimed, be wholly covered
by the value OF the marble dust obtained. On
granite and other rocks too hard for the sand
swing operation, and in a wide range OF worh
now done exclusively by hand, the economy il
still greater. The diamonds remain in a Ions
time, and any that come out ale caught BY
