Report – Robert Stagg – 31 Dec 1814
General Report of the Teesdale Mines 31st Decr. 1815
Lodgesyke This Mine is very little altered in its prospects since the last Quarterly Report. I have stopped three of the leading, and two of them the best Workings under the high Level, until the low Level is got up, when they will be prosecuted to much greater advantage than they can be from the high Level, from whence they have hitherto been wrought. The Quantity of Ore raised during the present Year at this Mine, will therefore
Report – Thomas Emerson to Martin Morrison – 6 Jan 1815
Breckonsike has been long dead at the fore End, but we thought it adviseable to continue the Low Level a little further, with an expectation of the Vein mending. Have let Bargains to 42 Men, 8 Men driving the Low Level at £7.10. per fa[thom] & 30s per B[in]g & the remainder to raise Ore at 42s per B[in]g. Greenfield Vein is poor, have let Bargains to 10 Men, 6 driving the Low Level at £6 per fa[thom] & 42s per Bing & the other 4 raising Ore at 42s per Bing.

I have viewed the several Mines under my direction and on the 29th & 30th past lett the Bargains a [list] of which is annexed
Rampgill Mine gets poorer, for as the leading Forehead in the late good Vein does not revive the rear or hindermost parts of the Mine become pickings and of course require higher prices. Thos Hewitson &c are driving the Horse Level in the above Vein. Wm Irwin &c are drivi

The Mines at Coalcleugh continue very poor and has produced less Ore the last quarter than usual, the old Workings are getting more exhausted every Bargain letting & having no fresh ground opened that is productive has rendered the number of Workmen unable to take their Bargains in their old situations. - the Sump named in the last Report begun to sink to the Low Level forehead at the <East> is not completed, and until that be finished

Report of the Teesdale Mines 1st April 1815
The prospect and state of the Workings of the several Mines are in no Way materially Altered since the last Quarterly Report which may therefore be considered as the Report of the present Quarter. We fully expected to have cut the Vein at Flakebridge during the Quarter but from the extreme hardness of the Stone in which that trial is making, the Workmen have not been able to make much progress in it, although they have been working at it wi

Allenheads Ladyday < Bargains April 5/1815
Allenheads Mines are in general poorer this quarter than I ever recollect them. Diana Vein the leading forehead in this Vein westward carries no Ore, & for the last 5 fathoms driving, had not a particle of Ore in it, and very little appearance of any Vein; I am apprehensive the Vein has fled from its general bearing, and if in the course of 3 or 4 fathoms more driving there is not an alteration, I propose cutting cross to the North &
