And in yesterdays tests, conducted in every sort Of muG that could be found within the city and near it, the inventor mo torist found nought to oppose his prog ress. The treads are constructed of eight ! inch betting. secured from the Arizona ! Hardware company. These form bands around the wheels outside the tires. On
 the outside are bolted eight inch sec tions Of channel iron, and to the inner circle are bolted straps, by which the ! trc1ds are fastened to the hubs. For
 the purposes Of the sand pulling, the { inventor has constructed one set of
 treads of eight inch belting, for the rear wheels, and for the front wheels are treads of six inch dimensions
 Shortly. pr. Boido will leave for A Ajo whence he will travel to the hitherto
