Report: Delaware According to Emmons and Calkins (1913), silver-lead ore was mined at the Delaware from a 200 foot adit and a 100 foot shaft. The ore is apparently localized in a shear zone parallel to bedding of the Quadrant Formation and contains lead carbonates and iron oxides. Fourteen tons, with a grade of 28 oz/ton Ag and 22% lead, were shipped. The few pieces of ore remaining on the dumps consist of quartz, chalcedony, iron oxides, and fine-grained galena. All workings are caved.
