Coalcleugh
The Mines at Coalcleugh in general are much better than they were the last Bargains, and have produced a considerable greater quantity of Ore the last quarter than I expected from their appearance at Christmas and from the present state in all probability will continue raising an equal quantity of Ore in the ensuing quarter. We have got one communication from the top Level into the eastend workings completed which affords us great relief in a part of

Flakebridge Mine The object of the present working this Mine is by sinking a Shaft with the help of an Engine to try the Strata at a Lower Random than they had been able to get at in the former workings, the lower parts of which are Reported to have been left Rich.

Ladyday Bargains Allenheads
Allenheads Mines have raised considerably more Ore than I expected the last quarter, from the appearance they had when the Xmass Bargains were let, altho we have had no particular rich Mine, the workings in general have been tolerably productive & from their present appearance I flatter myself the Ore to be raised in the ensuing quarter will be equal to what has been raised last quarter.

The Mines at Coalcleugh etc are poorer at this time than they were last Bargains, & many of the best workings last quarter require an advance of the price per Bing the ensuing quarter.

Midsummer Bargains 1814 Allenheads Mines
The Mines at this place have not been so productive after the last quarter as I expected they would have been, from the appearance they had when I let the Ladyday Bargains. The principal failure has been the leading Forehead in Wentworth Vein, for five fathoms driving the Vein produced no Ore of any consequence but I am glad to inform you the Vein is now much richer of Ore & likely to produce a considerable quantity the ensuing quarter fro
