Thomas Hewerson &c are driving South in the Limestone in the Cross Vein that was so productive a Year ago, but which has lately become poor, in order to prove it further forward, as it is entirely whole to the end of the Boundary & is an object that cannot, with any propriety, be discontinued in the present stage of the trial, altho’ it is not requisite to hold the Lease.

Emmanuel Nattrass & Co are opening out a level which has been allowed to run together and which has thrown the water upon Col. Beaumont’s mines thereby subjecting the company to an action for damages which the Col.’s agents have lately been threatening it is also necessary to be opened for the more advantageous picking of the upper sills it is expected to be completed in about a year.

The time is approaching when the annual Accounts of the Mines will have to be closed; and it becomes my duty to call your serious attention to the low price at which Lead has been sold and the little prospect there appears to be of any amendment taking place soon. At £15 p[er]fo[dde]r considerable Sales have been made; but even on those terms, so small is the demand, that two Houses only are purchasers, and no

In the several districts of Alston moor, Teasdale & Weardale, there is no material alteration in the prospects of the various Mines, since the last Quarterly report, to which I therefore refer the Court, as the report of the present Quarter with respect to the views of the several trials.
We are proceeding to put the Mines in Alstonmoor into Repair & in pushing forward such of the Levels & drifts as are essential to the future advantag

Rampgill. The Ore Workings at this Mine are entirely confined to the old Pickings which are very poor, but the low Level driving by R Heatherington &c for the purpose of unwatering & opening it out below the old Workings, is expected to be in a part of the Vein that will raise Ore in a few Fathoms driving after which it may be hoped to raise Ore that will more than repay its further prosecution.

State of Coalcleugh Leadmines Sept. 30th 1816
Coalcleugh Mines etc continued very poor and nothing new has been discovered since last bargains, from the appearance of the present workings I am of opinion that a great part of the present bargains let at the reduced price of 30/- will not admit the workmen to exceed from 6/ to 9/ pWeek earning, and those in the best situations not more than from 9/ to 12/ pWeek without some unforeseen circumstance occur which is frequently t

If I understand you correctly this sum balances the Sale of Lead which I consigned to you; if so, the produce is attended with so much loss, as to prevent me consigning at present, any further quantity. I therefore wait for your next Letter with the account Sales, in order that I may possess

Allenheads. Oct 5/1816
Michaelmas Bargains
Allenheads Mines are much the same as stated in the last report, and upon the whole likely to produce more Ore the ensuing quarter, the Old Workings I think are better - the cross Vein at the East end is wrought by 4 Men @ 28/ pBg, and has every appearance of continuing productive, after the water level gets up (which I suspect will be in the course of six months) the Vein will then be wrought to greater advant
