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.

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
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.

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
