Delamar, Nevada is a ghost town today, but back in the late 1800s, it was booming goldmining town that produced $8.9 m
Unfortunately, the gold in the Delamar mines was embedded in quartzite, which created a fine dust when crushed. Miners breathing the dust often developed silicosis and the town became known as a "widow-maker."
