General Report of the Teesdale Mines 24th June 1815
Flakebridge Since the last Quarterly Report we have cut the Vein at this Mine at the depth of the Engine Drift, but am sorry to add its appearance is by no means flattering. It has ore in it altho’ none that can be saved. It is necessary now to open a communication between the Upper level and this Engine Drift, by sinking a Sump in the Vein, which will enable us to prove it the whole of the depth between them, say about ten or twelve

Coalcleugh Lead Mines June 30. 1815
The Mines at Coalcleugh etc in general are extremely poor, & the produce of course becomes less. - I had a consultation with the other Agents previous to the Bargains respecting to the prices to be given &c. we was all of an Opinion that it would not be advantageous to Col. Beaumont to reduce the price pBing in the poorest Workings, as many of the Mens earnings do not exceed their subsistence Money, & this Quarter being the close of th

Allenheads. July 3, 1815
The Veins in this place are as poor in general as they were last quarter. We have now made Wentworth Vein <..> on the East side of the Cross Vein at East End. I have driven the Cross Vein further South than where it was expected to have intersected Wentworth Vein: our apprehension from the great strength of the Cross Vein is taken from the usual <bearing> djoined to the Cross Vein in her direction, which is

Midsummer 1815. New House Weardale July 4/1815
Breckonsike Vein is very poor, but as we have had some strings come to her of late, I thought it adviseable to drive the Low Level forward, in expectation that something more will join to help her, have let Bargains to 24 Men, 8 to drive the said Level 2@ £8 pfm & 30/ pBg. The remainder to raise Ore at 42/ pBg.

Sirs
After the Closest inspection and general View of the Company’s Mines under my Care on the 26th: 27th & 28th past I lett the Sundry Bargains, a list of which is annexed. The prices being Reduced, and Mines in general poor; naturally reduces the Number of hands, and it is certain, under unfavourable times, it militates much against the interest of Lead Mines to have them crowded & overloaded with Number

Coalcleugh Sept 30 1815
The Mines at Coalcleugh continue poor tho' the last quarters Producers? is more than expected at Midsumer. We are now getting forward with the Eastend Low Level in the Great Limestone which produces a quantity of Ore but so poor as to require the highest price pBing we can give. The Level driving to the North in a cross String continues raising Ore much the same, as soon as the Whitewood Vein is cut which is expected to be from 30 to 40 fathoms to

The trials at Wiregill, Brockergill, Flakebridge and Mannergill are proceeding with little or no variation of circumstances
Colberry is considerably poorer & less promising, the Ore raised at this Mine we find, on Smelting is of a very poor quality indeed, it is richer in Silver however than the Lodgesyke; I find by the Assays made of that it contains about 10 Oz p[er] Fother

Mich 1815 Newhouse Oct 5/1815
Breckonsike - We have cut through the cross Vein or string at the fore end that I mentioned in my last Report & have met with some other strings near the point of the Old Vein, which have some Ore in them but at present are much divided, We therefore thought it right to continue the Level hoping the said Strings may come together in a little time so as to form a more regular Vein. - The old Workings are much wrought out - have let Bargains to
