Notes
- ↑ Delaware No. 2 is connected to Contract No. 3 Mine (mine index 3712) underground, this opening was used by Contract No.3
- ↑ Delaware No. 3 mine was later surface mined by Western Brick (mine index 3710) and is not shown on the accompanying map.
- ↑ Delaware 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.
