Coalcleugh Mines 30 June 1817
Coalcleugh Mines are no better than last quarter, with the exception of one working in the Flat at the east end which is tolerably good. We have cut into a Cross dyke in the Galloway Level forehead which has entirely cut off both the Vein and Strata. We have driven 15fms into it and no appearance of coming to the east side of it. I expect it will not be less than from 25 to 30 fms wide before we come to the east check where the Strata <puts> regularly
