The Turquoise mine near Paschal is now
leased by Penny & Co. The mine has been
worked in pre-historic times in a very crude
manner. Now that it is operated systematically,
some very fine specimens of turquoise have been
extracted. Those produced at its present depth
being of much finer quality, better color, harder
and freer from impurities, than the gems ob-
tained from the surface workings. Numerous
specimens of ancient pottery and stone imple-
ments were unearthed in cleaning out the old
trenches.
