Paradise's post office was established October 23, 1901 and discontinued September 30, 1943. Paradise allegedly had 13 saloons at one time which speaks for itself. The original jail was an open air jail where prisoners were shackled to a chain run between two trees. Even though the mines closed down in 1907, the town still has a few current residents today. - GT
