Nevada Bullion.

Two car loads of bullion-that is.
base hulliOn-were shipped last week
from Nevada over the Central Pacific
Railroad to Flach'S Station. Utah.
For the benefit ct the general public,
we beg to saw that Flach'S Station is
that particular point ON the Utah
Southern Railroad where the Ger
mania Separating and Refining Works
are situated. They make gold, silver
and lead down there ont OF this base
bullion.
We clip the above from Il Salt Lake
exchange Of recent date. The bullion
mentioned was shipped from Eureka
by the X. X. Company. If the Ger
mania Separating and Refining Works
are not lacking i'll capacity, we see ne
reason why Il mining companies
milht not find it to their advantage tC
have their bullion treated there.

The Fender Horror.

The Hans Us pal erS appear to think
that the Bender butchers were not
alone in the commission of the hor.
rible crimes lately brought to light in
hat State. The statement is made
that hundreds of emigrants have dis
appeared mysteriously. and the opin-
ion is freely expressed that the Ben.
der family were but Il small portion
of a regularly organized band of rob-
berS and murderers. This band of
cnt-throats are believed to have been
in existence for many years, and their
murderous operations are supposed to
have been carried on on the most
comprehensive scale. Their crimes
were generally charged to the In
dams. All manner of stories and ru-
mors are. however, in circulation
throughout Southern Kansas. The
following from the Kansas Times is a
fair sample of them
One evening, about three months
ago, "a poor Onla Iuotsnre ana

INCoNsIsTENT:-The Enterprise de-
nounces the Omaha lottery as a swim
die and in the same issue putfs the
Nevada scheme to the skies. The
truth Of the whole matter is, that a
greater fraud than this Nevada Gift
Concert was never perpetrated on the
public. y committee appointed by
the Senate last Winter to investigate
the matter, found that out of about
SEC, 900 worth OF tickets disposed Of
there remained in the treasury ofthe
rotten concern less than $500. Not
even the Executive of the State, who
had ofIciated as Treasurer in the
early history of the thievinT sAindle,
could give any satisfactory account of
the funds. 1t is a petty larceny insti-
tuition throughout and should be de-
nouuced by every paper.

furnished the SENTINEL, .ays: About
/ o'clock this morning an attempt was
made to burn the Oriental Hotel,
which, if successful, would probably
have burned the entire town and
caused great loss of life. The citizens
turned out en- masse and eXtinguiShed
the flames. Several lamp-wicks had
been sewed together, saturated with
coal oil, which inflammable mass was
inserted i'll an aperture Of tie siding
of the house and ignited. Tracks in
the dust led directly to a dwelling
house opposite, occupied by DR..
Shultz and wife. When confronted,
they made a full confession. The eX-
element vas intense. and hut for the
shrewd management of Justice Rich

A gentleman OF this city who has
been connected with the shipping
house in New London. Connecticut,
which formerly employed both Cap
tain Tyson ana Buddin.tun, makes IA
number of Interesting statements in
regard to the di,I osition OF the etwU
men, whose characters, reports re-
ctived thus far, seem To- place in such
strong contrast. Captain Tyson some
six or seven wears ag" was in conf
mand OF the schooner Era, on a vOI-
age from New London to Gambler
land sound. TAe vessel broke from
her mOOriugS, and he WAS Obliged To
nbandou her with ali his crew. Max
ing his way To shore he huilt tents
out of sails taken from the vessel,
ana IlNGu unGC mem. during The
WiHter his vessel was five miles
from shore in packed ICE without au-
chorage. When the ice broke up,
seeing the ship was not seriously
damaged, he regained it. filled it with
oil, and returned to New London.
Tyson i>described as a brave. dasiiing
Captain, who will expose his ve>s,l
To- the dangers of AN Arctic Winter,
up to the very last moment of safety,
and viii often accomplish brilliant
results. Buddingtnn, ON the other
hand, is a careful, calculating Yankee,
noted for his scrupulOuS guardian
ship OF property. and lives I'M
der his charge His New London
neighbnrs are rerorted {" have pre-
dicted, when the eXp dition started,
that Buddidgton would nring back his
vessel and crew in safety, and that
scit ntific results would be subOrdi-
nate, So far as he vas concerned, to
this end. He is a man of family and
experience. Both men are old wilal-
ing captains and have made eight or
ten voyages each. Capt. Buddingt0n

ton Of Sir Belrher's expeditiOn which
