PARADISE MINE
DISCOVERS GOLD
PROPERTY COMES INTO LIGHT
WITH BIG STRIKE
PICTURE ROCK SAID TO CARRY
$4,000 TO $4,000
Group Comprises Seven Claims, 1900
Feet of Development Work,
Five-Stamp Mill and
Water Right

The Paradise Mountain Mining and
Milling company's property, situated
twenty-one miles northwest of Dag
gett Cal, in the Paradise range OF
mountains, has just come into promi-
nence by a big strike of gold which
was made by prospectors. 1t is said
it runs from $500 to $4,000 ton in
picked specimens.
The Paradise group of seven claims
is in the same zone and has 1oOO teet
of development work done, has a five
stamp mill in operation and is also the
owner of Paradise springs, which can
supply abundance of water for 100
stamp mill.
B. Megahan, a well known mining
man, has just returned from trip OF
inspection at the Paradise property,
and in so doing has made a study or
the mineral.
Mr.. Megahan says: "The ore bodies
are strongly marked and well defined
and show every evidence OF primary
and secondary enrichment.
'The strength and regularity of the
formation and other evidence in sight
briefly and emphatically indicate the
permanency and great depth of the
mineral zone and the magnitude of
future possibilities as the development
progresses.
Efficient Development
"On the Klondike there is 1900 feet
of efficient development work and
consists of tunnel, shafts and prospect
work. The ore body is composed of
sugar quartz The footwall is ande-
site porphyry and the hanging wall is
granite The vein is a true fssure
ranging in width from two feet up to
sixteen feet at the lowest part devel-
oped. There is about 25,000 tons or
ore in sight. From my personal OBJ
servation on mill runs and sampllng
of the ore can safely corroborate the
statements and values reported. There
are eight flowing springs on the prop
critics which are producing about five
inches of water and at least another
five inches can be developed.
"The elevation of the two hot springs
is $500 feet The six cold springs are
2475 feet.
"The elevation of the mill is 2S10
feet, which is 165 feet lower than the
cold springs and 100 feet lower than
the hot springs.
"There is a, twenty-five horse power
gas engine, five-stamp mill, a 7x9
ore breaker, Challenge feeder, ore car,
ore bins and complete equipment.
Equipment at Mine
"There is a blacksmith shop and
complete blacksmithing outfit, bunk
house that will accommodate sixteen
men, a boarding house 2S feet square,
a 'storehouse, assay office and stable.
