Tho steam wagon in Nevada.

Virginia City Enterprise.
The wagon was invented and built by
Doane Brothers, Of Sacramento, and
tested at several fairs in California. 1t
weighs, without fuel or water, seven tons.
It has three driving wheels, each six feet
high, and tires ten inches wide to pre-.
vent it sinking in sand or soft ground.
Attached to the face of the tires are
hanges, shaped like a segment OF a cir
Gle, to prevent it from slipping when
loaded. The axle Of the front wheel
turns on a pivot, shaped like a ball, and
is operated By a lever, by which the ma.
chine is guided, and by which it can be
readily turned in any direction. 1t has
the same pulling capacity on a curve
that it has on a straight road, and
can be turned as readily as a mule.tesm.

miles-in two days, with two cords o.

lated according to circumstances, but
when attached to heavily-loaded wagons
it is not desirable to run it faster than
three miles an hour. A contract has
been entered into by the Sulphur Com
