Breckonsike Vein continues very poor, only 32 Men employed & driving the Low Level at £7.10.. per fa[thom] & 30s per B[in]g, & the remainder raising Ore at 42s per Bing. Greenfield is not so hopeful as last quar[te]r, have let ore Bargains to 14 Men at 42s per B[in]g. Burtree Pasture Vein is not quite so rich at the forehead, as it was a few lengths further back; but continues very strong & likely to raise a great quantity of Ore, have l

Allenheads. Mich[aelma]s Bargains Octo 8/1814
The Mines at Allenheads have raised more Ore the last quarter than I expected they would have done from the state they were in at Mids[ummer] Bargains, but am sorry to inform you, from the present appearance of many of the workings they are not likely to be as productive for the succeeding quar[te]r & particularly Diana Vein which is in general poor the leading forehead wrought by 8 Men last quar[ter] at 34s is now advanced to 42s per

Flakebridge Mine The working of this Mine has been entirely delayed driving last Quarter, by a total want of Water to Work the Engine occasioned by an unprecedented continuance of dry Weather should Rains set in shortly we hope however that the <Prospects> of this trial may be in some measure ascertained before the conclusion of the present Quarter.

Report – Thomas Dodd – 29 Oct 1814
The Garrigill mines are extremely poor and several parts are under trial, barely to support the leases till the necessary trials are effected.
At Tynebottom, Joseph Wanless & Co are driving the Horse level to try the flats, which so far continue poor.

Sirs
I have made the Quarterly Views of the Companys Mines under my direction – on the 28th & 29th of last Month. I lett the Sundry Bargains, of which a list annexed.
Rampgill Mine is much poorer than for some time past, the leading Forehead in the late successfull Vein having failed, and I am afraid will not revive again. There is a good deal of Ore raised still at this Mine, but the Workings in the back

Coalcleugh Xmass Barg[ain]s 1814
The Mines at Coalcleugh are considerably poorer than ever they have been during this Year; & many of the Old Workings that have been raising Ore is completely wrought out, which has caused a number of Men to be out of employment at present, many others are so poor that I am afraid the Workmen will not earn their Subsistence Money. We have got the second communication completed from the Top Level to the Galloway Level at the East End which is of great

In two Covers I beg to transmit for Col Beaumonts signature, the memorial for the repeal of the export duty on Lead. You will observe that this is a different Memorial from that which I had the honor of sending you from London. – Mr Summer M.P. who I understand feels much interested in the subject, has drawn out this paper which appears to him more likely to strike the attention of Government. – at all events – as
Report – Robert Stagg – 31 Dec 1814
General Report of the Teesdale Mines 31st Decr. 1815
Lodgesyke This Mine is very little altered in its prospects since the last Quarterly Report. I have stopped three of the leading, and two of them the best Workings under the high Level, until the low Level is got up, when they will be prosecuted to much greater advantage than they can be from the high Level, from whence they have hitherto been wrought. The Quantity of Ore raised during the present Year at this Mine, will therefore
Report – Thomas Emerson to Martin Morrison – 6 Jan 1815
Breckonsike has been long dead at the fore End, but we thought it adviseable to continue the Low Level a little further, with an expectation of the Vein mending. Have let Bargains to 42 Men, 8 Men driving the Low Level at £7.10. per fa[thom] & 30s per B[in]g & the remainder to raise Ore at 42s per B[in]g. Greenfield Vein is poor, have let Bargains to 10 Men, 6 driving the Low Level at £6 per fa[thom] & 42s per Bing & the other 4 raising Ore at 42s per Bing.

I have viewed the several Mines under my direction and on the 29th & 30th past lett the Bargains a [list] of which is annexed
Rampgill Mine gets poorer, for as the leading Forehead in the late good Vein does not revive the rear or hindermost parts of the Mine become pickings and of course require higher prices. Thos Hewitson &c are driving the Horse Level in the above Vein. Wm Irwin &c are drivi
