Midsummer Bargains 1814 Allenheads Mines
The Mines at this place have not been so productive after the last quarter as I expected they would have been, from the appearance they had when I let the Ladyday Bargains. The principal failure has been the leading Forehead in Wentworth Vein, for five fathoms driving the Vein produced no Ore of any consequence but I am glad to inform you the Vein is now much richer of Ore & likely to produce a considerable quantity the ensuing quarter fro

The Garrigill mines are excessively poor, and the small parcels of ore raised in them require high prices. Joseph Wanless & Co are driving the horse level at Tynebottom.

Coalcleugh Septem 30th 1814
The Mines at Coalcleugh have produced as much Ore the last quarter as they have done any of the preceding quarters in the course of last Year, & the present Bargains are let on an average, at as low prices for raising Ore as they have been during the last Year: the deadwork etc is going forward with the usual rapidity to enable us to get a sufficient supply of Air into the leading workings at the east End.
