Production (tons)

Delaware Coal Company (add)	Delaware No. 1Delaware No. 3 production was reported under the production for these two mines. The years of operation for Delaware No. 3 are not known, but it is the largest mine shown on the source map, and evidently most of the production was from the No. 3 mine, since Delaware No. 1 & Delaware No. 2 are too small for the production shown.
