Report – Thomas Dodd – 1 Nov 1811
The price for raising the ore being reduced to 35/- the highest has put it out of any power to work many of the poor pickings, of course the number of hands is fewer than last quarter and will be fewer every quarter whilst things remain in their present state, as few mines will work at the price given. The mining counties are getting into the great distress and the people flying in all directions for employment.
At Tynebottom Joseph Wanless & Co are driving a horse level in a vein.

M Morrison Esq Dufton 10 Jany 1812
Yours of the 17 Dec last Rec[eiv]ed at Coalcleugh on the 26, the contents of which was a confirmation of the bad news we had in Westmorland. Upon inspecting the Mines at Coalcleugh, and their accounts now preparing for the Pay, found they would bear a little reduction at present, without reducing the Miners to extremity, & therefore reduced the prices for raising Ore to 38s per B[in]g & the Dead Work in proportion, and at Allenheads u
Report – Thomas Dodd – 18 Jan 1812
Joseph Wanless & Co are driving a new Horse level on the west side of Tyne to cut two veins and several flats in fresh ground in the limestone. which trial covers and supports two leases, and must go on, but is the best object in the Tynebottom leases, and will I expect raise some very good ore before the end of the year, and although many parts of the company’s mines raise ore of a very productive quality, yet there is none equal to Tynebottom on the West of Tyne.

I have let every part as low as possible both for ore and the unavoidable Dead work and yet after having offered 38/- a Bing and £10 the ton for old pickings as I proposed to the Court, many of the workmen refuse to take and are unemployed in the moor and several who are employed I am afraid will not be able to clear their advance money and other charges.
