Mrs Beaumont Bretton
In this and two other Covers you will receive the Agents Reports of the State of the Mines, previous to letting the Ore Bargains for this quarter, by which you will perceive that the Mines are generally poor, altho[ugh] the quantity of Ore raised this Year, will I apprehend exceed that of the former Year. - Since my return from London I have made an Agreement with Messrs Walkers Maltby & Co to deliver them 2500 pieces of Lead m

Mess: T Emerson Geo.& Wm Crawhall Newcastle 21 Dec[ember] 1813
As the time is now arrived when you will be inspecting the Mines preparatory to letting the Ore Bargains, I do hope that you will think that the highest price P[er]Bing given last quarter will be sufficient for the ensuing quarter & that an advance in the price of Lead will be amply compensated by the great reduction in the price of Grain. – It is desirable to avoid fluctuations in the prices for raising Ore during

Madam
I am this moment honoured with your letter of yesterday enclosing one from the Revd M Charlton of Tynemouth & to which I beg the favour of your replying; it will be much better done by a Letter from yourself, than by any thing I can say. – I beg to enclose for your signature a list of Boys to be admitted this Xmas into St Andrews Charity School, they are the most eligible & include all the farmers sons who are candidates.

December Quarter 1813 Allenheads
Allenheads Mines are in general poor and from their present appearance I am apprehensive the Ore to be raised in the ensuing Quar[ter] may fall short of the usual quantity. Diana Vein in the West Forehead is tolerably productive 8 Men raising Ore at 40s per Bing & an[othe]r Partn[ersh]ip sinking to the forehead in G[reat] Lime[stone] w[hi]ch will be holed in 3 or 4 Weeks time when I expect it will work at 30s per Bing, the back workings in this Vein are v
Report – George Crawhall to Martin Morrison – 31 Dec 1813
The Mines in the Coalcleugh district are at this time considerably poorer than they have been the last two quarters that I have been at Coalcleugh, & of course many of them require an advance in the Price per Bing or an equivalent adequate to a small advance to enable the Workmen to make a livelihood in many of the Old Workings. The Sun Vein & Flatts at the East End in the Great Limestone is the most productive of any part of this Mine, but not so good as last Quar[ter] , the Ore

Coalcleugh
The Mines at Coalcleugh in general are much better than they were the last Bargains, and have produced a considerable greater quantity of Ore the last quarter than I expected from their appearance at Christmas and from the present state in all probability will continue raising an equal quantity of Ore in the ensuing quarter. We have got one communication from the top Level into the eastend workings completed which affords us great relief in a part of

Flakebridge Mine The object of the present working this Mine is by sinking a Shaft with the help of an Engine to try the Strata at a Lower Random than they had been able to get at in the former workings, the lower parts of which are Reported to have been left Rich. The Engine Shaft is already sunk 12 Fathoms and is proposed to be sunk 3 fathoms further from which Random a Cross Cut Northwards of about 10 or 12 fathoms will have to be mad

Ladyday Bargains Allenheads
Allenheads Mines have raised considerably more Ore than I expected the last quarter, from the appearance they had when the Xmass Bargains were let, altho we have had no particular rich Mine, the workings in general have been tolerably productive & from their present appearance I flatter myself the Ore to be raised in the ensuing quarter will be equal to what has been raised last quarter.
