FRAZEE’S 
PATENT UPRIGHT SAW-MILL. 
This Mill was invented by Mr. Benjamin Frazee, an experi- 
ehced mechanic, for which he received letters patent, dated 
October 18, 1853, since which time a large number of them have 
been put in operation in different parts of the United States, 
and their value and efficiency thoroughly tested by practical ex¬ 
periment. It has been examined by hundreds or tne best me¬ 
chanics and machinists in the country, and it has been admit¬ 
ted by all that for cheapness, durability, and efficiency, it is 
far superior to anything of the kind ever before produced, and 
that it must eventually take the place of nearly all the mills 
now in use. 
ITS CONSTRUCTION. 
It is composed of eight pieces of timber, from five to eight feet 
long; four pieces of plank, from four to six feet long; and about 
fifteen hundred pounds of iron ; besides two long bed-pieces, a 
carriage, some small wooden fixtures, pulleys, &c. The com¬ 
mon up-and-down saw, six and one-half or seven feet long, is 
used without sash-gate or mulev, and will saw timber of the lar¬ 
gest or smallest size. It is so .very simple in its construction 
that it has but few bearings, and consequently but little friction, 
and will therefore require much less power to drive it, than the 
more complicated mills now in general use. As much of the 
cumbrous machinery of other mills, such as large heavy frames, 
sash-gates, &c , is dispensed with in this, it is much less liable 
to get out of order ; while its simplicity enables any one of ordi¬ 
nary mechanical ability to repair or build it. The amount of re¬ 
pairs required with fair usage is of insignificant import. Anoth¬ 
er advantage of this mill is, that; its work is superior in smooth¬ 
ness and straightness, and that it cuts away less of the lumber 
than most other mills. 
ITS PORTABILITY. 
One great point of superiority in the mill is its portability— 
the ease with which it can be moved from place to place—ta¬ 
king the few pieces with which it is composed to the logs, in¬ 
stead of hauling the logs from long distances to the mill. This 
fact in regard to the mill renders the purchase of it, in all cases, 
a safe investment, as it will always be saleable property. The 
whole establishment, mill, engine, and boiler, with three or four 
ox teams, can be easily moved at the rate of from ten to twenty 
miles per day. Thus,when it has done its work at one place, it 
is ready to move on, either upon the mountains, in the valleys, or 
wherever the forest may require its labor. 
HOW MUCH IT WILL DO. 
Any one of these mills, with our smallest power (eight horse,) 
is capable of cutting over 6,000 feet of ordinary inch boards eve¬ 
ry twenty-four hours. It may be made to do much more than 
this, by an extraneous effort; in fact, one in operation near this 
city, driven only by a five-horse power, has frequently been timed 
by a watch, and. made to saw at the rate of nine hundred feet per 
hour. Allowing it, however, to cut but three thousand feet per 
day, it will at once be perceived by all who are experienced in 
the business, that in efficiency it has no equal. As it is usually 
run with steam power, the delays which other mills are often 
subjected to, waiting for water, or having too much water, re¬ 
pairing dams, &c., are entirely avoided. 
PRICE OF MILL WITHOUT POWER. 
We furnish these mills, with bolts, screws, belting, saws, for- 
y-eight feet of segments for carriages, and everything all com¬ 
plete, excepting two-long bed-pieces and the carriage, for 
FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS. 
The segments we furnish for carriage are sufficient to saw 
timber twenty-four feet long ; but when it is desirable to saw 
timber more than that length, an extra charge will be made for 
extra length of segments. A draft, carefully explained and num¬ 
bered; will be sent with each mill, so that the parts may he read¬ 
ily and accurately put together. The two bed-pieces spoken of 
should be timber forty-eight feel long and twelve by fourteen 
inches through, to which the mill is bolted. There being but 
little work upon them, it is more desirable to get them where 
the mill is erected, especially as they would be expensive to 
transport. The Mill alone weighs about 2,500 pounds. 
PRICES OF MILLS WITH POWERS. 
The engines and boilers furnished with these Mills are con¬ 
structed especially for it, and we believe are better calculated 
for the purposes to which they are designed than any that could 
be obtained from other manufactories. 
The first size is a boiler 10 leet long, 24 tubes 2 1-2 inches in 
diameter and 7 1-2 feet long, shell over the fire box 44 inches in 
diameter, shell over the tubes 34 inches in diameter, and engine 
of 7 inch cylinder and 15 inch stroke. This is a large eight-horse 
power, and is sufficient to drive the Mill with any rapid¬ 
ity in the hardest and heaviest timber. It is sold with the Mill— 
the whole establishment weighing about 6,500 pounds—for 
TWELVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS. 
The second size is a boiler 11 1-2 feet long, 25 tubes 2 1-4 inches 
in diameter, and 7 1-2 feet long, shell over the fire-box 44 inches 
in diameter, shell over the tubes 34 inches in diameter, engine 
same as that described above (7 inch cylinder and 15 inch stroke,) 
excepting that it has extra connections. This is the power that 
we are now mostly selling with the Mill. It may be rated as 
good ten horse, and is capable of driving the Mill, together with 
some other machinery at the same time, such as circular saw 
for sawing slabs, lath, and other light work. As a little surplus 
power is always of advantage, we usually recommend thispow- 
eV. It is sold with the mill—the whole weighing about 7,500 
pounds—for 
FOURTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS. 
The third size is a boiler 111-2 feet long, 25 tubes 2 1-4 inches 
in diameter and 7 1-2 feet long, shell over the fire-box 44 inches 
in diameter, shell over the tubes 34 inches in diameter, engine 
8 inch bore and 18 inch stroke. This is a very large ten-horse 
power, and is rated by some manufacturers as high as tvvelve- 
liorse. It is sold with the Mill—the whole weighing about 8,000 
pounds—for 
FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS. 
Parties can have larger powers than either of the above for 
an advance of $100 on each additional horse-power. In these 
prices smoke pipes, connections, and everything necessary for 
running are included, and the whole establishment is so put up 
and boxed, that there is no danger of losses on the way. The 
Mill maybe putup and at work in two or three days after its 
receipt, at any given place. No building is required, unless the 
parties choose to erect a rough shed to protect it and the opera¬ 
tors from the weather; nor is there any mason-work required 
for the machinery. 
The following letter, selected from a large number of like 
import, expresses the general estimation in which the Mill 
is neld, after a practical trial. It is proper for us to state 
that Mr. Hoyt’s Mill is driven with one of our eight-horse pow¬ 
ers 
Griggstown, N. J. 
Mr. Frazee —Dear Sir—We have now finished putting up 
the Portable Saw-Mill; have had it running about two weeks, 
and I must praise it. I, as well as the people in this neighbor¬ 
hood, are astonished at its performance. In a word, it runs to 
our complete satisfaction, and will do all that it was recom¬ 
mended to do. So far as fuel is coucerned, the green slabs are 
sufficient to keep up steam, and now, since putting our exhaust- 
pipe on our smoke-stack, we can burn up all our dust 
thereby saving still more of our fuel—at least one-half i 
shall be very happy to show the Mill to all who desire to ex¬ 
amine it. Respectfully, G. HOYT 
This Mill maybe driven by water power, or any other power 
that is capable of driving ordinary machinery.' We do not think 
- it good economy to use water power when steam power can be 
obtained as cheap as offered above; yet, when preferred, this 
Mill possesses all the advantages over other Mills when driven 
by water power, as when driven by steam, except portabili¬ 
ty. Several of them driven by water power are now doing good 
service on streams not large enough to drive ordinary Mills at 
all. 
We make no extra charges for boxing and delivering the Mill 
and Machinery on board of any line of transportation in this 
city that may be designated, obtaining the shipping receipts, in¬ 
surance, and agreements necessary • but we do not agree in any 
case to deliver it out of the city. The freight on the entire es¬ 
tablishment amounts to about five dollars per hundred miles 
when sent by land, but when shipped by water it is considerably 
less. 
The number of persons required to attend this Mill is two, or 
one man and a boy. Any small spring will afford a sufficient 
quantity of water for the boiler. 
Strangers visiting the city are respectfully invited to call at 
our office, and we will direct them to one of these Mills in ope¬ 
ration in this City, which is now being visited by large numbers 
every day. We would suggest to those living at a distance, and 
who desire a personal examination, that they write to some friend 
in New-York to make the investigation for them. 
The first purchaser of a Mill in any locality is appointed the 
exclusive Agent of the vicinity, and is allowed a handsome 
commission on all the Mills and machinery he can sell. No 
other Agents are wanted.

lAnAsey’s Double-Acting 
This pump has just been patented in 
America and England , and far ex¬ 
cels any pump heretofore invented ; 
its peculiarities ar c simplicity,power, 
and cheapness. Its simplicity ; there 
nothing about it but iron and cast 
metal, and it can be taken apart 
and put up by any one,’ and will 
last for an age. It has the power 
% to raise water hundreds of feet, 
P witli the extra expense of $3 and 
the price of pipe. Water rises in it 
by hand 100 feet per minute ! For 
cheapness; a No. 1. pump (for all 
ordinary purposes) complete, and 
fifty feet of pipe, costs but $30 ! 
The handle at the top, turns the 
pipe and pump, and every revolu¬ 
tion fills the cylinder twice, afford¬ 
ing an abundant supply of water 
with the least possible expense 
and labor. It is peculiarly adapt¬ 
ed to deep wells, rail road sta¬ 
tions, salt works, mining and 
manufact/arvngpurposes. Whe r- 
ever it is introduced, the old force, 
suction and chain pumps will dis¬ 
appear. Practical and scientific 
men pronounce it as without an 
equal, for all that is here claim¬ 
ed for it. The Scientific Ameri¬ 
can, after seeing it in operation, says : “ This pump is very 
svmple in construction, not liable to get out of order, dura¬ 
ble, easily operated and economical; we regard it as an 
excellent improvement Circulars with an accurate draw¬ 
ing and full description sent free of charge to all parts of 
the country. No. 1, has a one inch pipe ; No. 2, 1% inches ; 
No. 3, If inches ; and the prices $30, $42, $54 ; the No. 2 and 
3 are designed for very deep wells, railroad stations, o;c. 
where much water is required. The subscriber is the general 
agent for the sale of these pumps to all parts of the world, 
and excl/usi/ve agent for New York. Orders must be accom¬ 
panied by the cash, and should be explicit as to the kind of 
pump wanted, depth of well, shipping address, &c. 1 hey 
meet prompt attention. A pump and pipe weighs about 170 
lbs. No charge for shipping or cartage. Wells over 50 feet 
ohould have extra gearing, which costs $3.
