Coalcleugh, in general, is prosperous there being a prospect of regaining a good part of the Limestone East of the Cross Vein by pumping, which must be submitted to untill a better can be found. The Old level at Carrshield will never be of service in opening the East end of CCleugh veins being at too great a distance to the North, & continued too much in easterly direction. The place which I mentioned beside the Limekiln, will be by much the shortest, by d
Tynebottom Mine. Joseph Wanless & Co are sinking a shaft from the surface to accommodate the deep covel with fresh air and to try the vein in the Great Limestone.
