PICKET FENCE DISTRICT. This is the
name of new mining district discovered
and organized a week ago by some of the
Brethren, and is located about seven
miles southeast of Bullionville. Several
Piochers were quietly informed about the
new find. On Monday they went down
on the train to Bullionville and Tuesday
morning they hired a'team and started
for Picket-Fence. When halfway there
their team gave out and they were COM
PEELED to walk to the new discovery and
then back to Bullionville, returning there
5 o'clock in the evening. As they were
all dead broke, and the Bullionvillians
refused to credit them, they were CON-
PEELED to walk back that night to Phoebe.
None of them have ever told of the great
things they saw at Picket-Fence.
