Paradise Mine was a silver mine owned by Pete Marble. It was ran by a reformed outlaw in hiding, Foreman Buckeye Norton. When Pete Marble died of pnemonia, the foreman Buckeye Norton thought that he was a shoe in to inherit because Pete was without a heir. Pete Marble didn't have a heir but he did have a nephew to leave his mine to named Johnny Marble. Buckeye Norton and a shady lawyer named Hasp Solen schemed to murder Johnny and take the silver mine for themselves and would have succeeded if not for the efforts of Lone Ranger and Tonto.
