ture of Paradise
A description OF the two proper
ties follows:
California & Paradise.
The property OF the California &
Paradise Mining company comprises
the Leadville groupe OF clever

I the first ten inches of water right on
Turkey creek. at a height of 300
feet above the town. automatically
providing a natural reservoir Of suf-
ficient capacity to furnish water for
a city Of 10000 inhabitants.
Since acquiring control OF the area
last fall, the company has kept
steadily at work. operations being
centered at the Leadville shaft At
ter enlarging and timbering the old
31-degree. 110-foot inclined shaft, the
company began sinking the shaft
deeper by machinery. reaching at the
present time a depth of about $50
feet.
When the 22O-foot level has been
reached-some time in September
sinking viii be discontinued for the
time being and the shipment of ore
will be commenced. That profitable
shipments may then be made is a
certainty. for exploration east of the
shaft on the $40 level disclosed a
vein of rich ore 20 inches wide and
go feet Long. carrying values of $62.75
per ton in lead and silver. The com
pany could take out ore now. but
prefers to wait until the 220-foot
level is reached when ore can be
stopped to a depth of at least eighty
feet and mining can be carried on
more eheaply and advantageously.
Furthermore. It is practically certai2
that the vein will widen with depth.
In view of the fact that this shaft
has record Of over S25.60o PRO
duction above the 1O0-foct level, the
Leadville has always been considered
an attractive proposition: and nov
that the vein is again opened up and
continues to go down. the property
again has a brilliant future as q
producer. Paradises first boom.

ago. was due 10 the production of the
Leadvilie: and we think 1t safe TO
say that another revival is due 10
begin here next fall when the Lead
vile sets about to duplicate her for
mer record as a shipper.
When shipments we're discontinued
several years ago it was because of
a lack of machinery to handle the
water, anc because of the then low
price OF lead and silver. The pump
now In use easily handles the wa
ter. and the flow (just about enough
for the needs OF the boiler; the
spring flows at the rate OF $50 gal
Ions an hour. while the boiler needs
700 gallons per hour; the spring Is
on the s0-foot level Of the shaft) re-
mains stationary. so that mining op-
erations can proceed without inter
ruption. And lead and silver contin-
ne to bring comparatively high
prices. making profitable shipments
possible.
At the present but one shift is en-
ployed at the shaft but it Is the IN
derstanding that on or before August
LIST there will be three shifts at
work, sinking night and day.
The machinery in use consists OF
a No. 5A Cameron sinking pump, a
IS II. p. boiler. a hoist with ca
pacity of 500 vertical feet, and a
i000-gaIlon tank For fuel. wood is
used.
This vein, which is known as the
LeadviIle, has been traced on the
surface for $500 feet. on the prop
erty, and its average width is stated
