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
