I now give you the state of the different Lead Mines under Col Beaumont, as I found them at Michelmass Quarter, and found—
Coalcleugh, which continues poor, the principle part of the Ore raised is from the West Flatts, should they decline or be worked out before the East end is driven through the other cross Vein, Coalcleugh would be in a poor state indeed.

I now sit down to give you the present situation of the different Lead Mines, and first Coalcleugh Leadmine in general poorer than last quarter, and of course some of the lowest prices a little advanced. The East end nearly the same as before; continues to go forward in two distinct Veins both poor at present, no Bargains at Coalcleugh under 35s per Bing, and all the way to 50s and more above that price.

Tynebottom mine is raising small parcels of ore of the best quality, probably the most productive in lead of any of the companies mines.
Joseph Wanless & Co are driving a level to prove the upper stratums.
