A New Industry.

a New Industry.
We desire to call attention to the subjOined
extract from the San Francisco JO,ondl Of COM
me'ce. The WyckoffPatent Water Pipe has but
recently been introduced upon this coast, al
though it has been in use in the East for many
years. especially in the States Of West Virginia,
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri. Kansas, Nebraska,
Tennessee, Mississippi. Louisiana, and in the
Dominion OF Canada, where it is giving univer-
sal satisfaction. The foil wing Railroads are
using it in large quantities and with perfect sue
cess: The Michigan Central; jackson, lansing
and Saginaw; Canada Southern; Ohio and Miss.
issippi: Union Pacific; Northern Pacific; Chi
cagO, Burlington and Quincy; Alton and st.
Louis Lake Shore and Michigan Southern and
others. 1t is undoubtedly the best as we'll as
the cheapest gas and water pipe in use, and we
commend it to the attention of all parties in
terested in either gas or water conveyance:
THE wycKoFF PATENT WATER PIPE,
Of which 9. D. Wheat, TAO Fourth street, San
Francisco. is the agent, exhibits in the machin-
cry department some Of their Water Pipe which
Of wood for uses for which iron has most genes-
ally hitherto been deemed indispensable. 1t is
manufactured of the red fir OF Puget Sound,
one Of the most durable kinds of timber, which,
on being tested by the Government officers at
Mare Island has been pronounced superior to
oak. The timber of which the pipes are manu-
featured is that from the trunk below the limbs
and all portions containing sap are carefully
discarded. The remaining portions Of the
trunk is then bored with the Wyckoff Augur.
which leaves the core intact. The core is then
bored for smaller pipe, the one of this for an.
other smaller again, and so on till the material
is exhausted. by this method no material is
wasted and cheapness is secured III the manu-.
facture which in no instance hitherto has been
ever attained. 1t is then seasoned in u steam
chamber and spirally banded, when it is ready
for use. 1t has been introduced into Chico for
gas and water purposes and has proved itself
quite equal to the best iron pipe ever used.
Before being laid they are coated with Asphal-
tum, which protects the outside while the water
or gas preserves it on the inside. It's advantage
consists in its ch,apness. the ease and rapidly
with which it can he laid, the fact that it can he
put down by unskillcd labor, and tapped ut any
time or place by the same kind OF labor. 1t
also possesses the advantage over iron pipes Of
always giving forth n regular, undiminished
stream of water as long rs the sources do not
give out; whereas, in the case of iron pipe the
diminutiOn in the flow caused by incr,istatons
is such that in particular instances three-inch
pipe laid ten years has become reduced in capac
ity to two inches, and siXnch mains to five and
four inches. The lenuth of time that it will last
unchanged is strkingly illustrated by section
of pipe used in the Elmira Water Works, New
York, on exhibition here, which, taken up after
the expiration of fifteen years, seems as sound
as the day when it was laid.
