Coalcleugh Mines June 30 1813
Coalcleugh High Vein & Flatts produce nearly the whole of the Ore that is raised at this time, but are in a bad state for working or raising Ore to an advantage in the present situation not entirely for want of Ore, as the Ore Workings appear to be tolerably fair at present had there been proper communications for the circulation of Air, more convenient Waygates for Banking the Work, which is done at great expence; all the Old Waygates that was necessary to
Report – Thomas Emerson to Martin Morrison – 30 Jun 1813
Weardale June 30th 1813
Breckonsike is very poor, but I thought it advisable to continue the Low Level, as the Vein has sometimes been dead for as long a distance as at present.
Burtree Pasture Vein is very strong at the fore-end & likely to continue so, but not as rich as it was about the middle of last Quarter, the foremost Working is let to 8 Men at 25s per Bing, we expect to cut into a new length in a few days time.
Kilhope is very poor & not much expectation of being better
Report – William Crawhall to Martin Morrison – 30 Jun 1813
Allenheads June 30th 1813
Allenheads Leadmines are in general poor, excepting two lengths at East End of Whitworth Vein, & the leading forehead in Ditto which is now driving at 35s per Bing. Diana Vein at Craigshield is some better than she has been, but from the extreme hardness of the Flatts, we cannot get her wrought under 42s per Bing.
The Vein cut upon the four fathom Limestone at East End has a very promising appearance but in attempting to sink into the four fathom L

Coalcleugh
Coalcleugh Mine in general are producing Ore rather better than last quarter & upon an average at less prices per Bing, the Sun Vein & Flatts at the East End are producing tolerably well for the No. of Men that are employed in that part; the Low Level in the Gt Limestone was then in a hard twitch, is now opened, & has produced from 60 to 70 Bings in a few Weeks & from all appearances at present will continue raising Ore for a while; the

Allenheads
Allenheads Mines are much the same as last Quar[ter] with the exception of three lengths at East End in Wentworth Vein, which are richer in Ore than they have been the Vein being much wider & easier to Work, the foremost length is now wrought by 8 Men at 24s per Bing. from the depression of the Strata eastward the Great Limestone in the foremost length is about 6 fathoms under Water, consequently we are under the necessity of keeping 8 Men constantly employed drawing water, T

Weardale
Breckonsike continues very poor at the forehead, and as the Vein bears more to the North than her usual point, I have set on a Cross Cut to the Sun to see if anything can be found to that side. We have cut Greenfield Vein by the level drove from Breckonsike, which has part Ore in it, but not so strong as expected, we cannot judge much how it will turn out untill a rise is made up into the four fathom Limestone, which is not much above the Level roof.
Burtry Pasture Vein is very stro
