Coalcleugh
Coalcleugh Mine in general are producing Ore rather better than last quarter & upon an average at less prices per Bing, the Sun Vein & Flatts at the East End are producing tolerably well for the No. of Men that are employed in that part; the Low Level in the Gt Limestone was then in a hard twitch, is now opened, & has produced from 60 to 70 Bings in a few Weeks & from all appearances at present will continue raising Ore for a while; the

Allenheads
Allenheads Mines are much the same as last Quar[ter] with the exception of three lengths at East End in Wentworth Vein, which are richer in Ore than they have been the Vein being much wider & easier to Work, the foremost length is now wrought by 8 Men at 24s per Bing. from the depression of the Strata eastward the Great Limestone in the foremost length is about 6 fathoms under Water, consequently we are under the necessity of keeping 8 Men constantly employed drawing water, T

I have viewed the Comp[an]y’s Mines under my care, & on the 6th, 7th, & 8th past I lett the sundry Bargains, a List of which is annexed.

Weardale
Breckonsike continues very poor at the forehead, and as the Vein bears more to the North than her usual point, I have set on a Cross Cut to the Sun to see if anything can be found to that side. We have cut Greenfield Vein by the level drove from Breckonsike, which has part Ore in it, but not so strong as expected, we cannot judge much how it will turn out untill a rise is made up into the four fathom Limestone, which is not much above the Level roof.
Burtry Pasture Vein is very stro

In this and two other Covers you will receive the Agents Reports of the State of the Mines, previous to letting the Ore Bargains for this quarter, by which you will perceive that the Mines are generally poor, altho[ugh] the quantity of Ore raised this Year, will I apprehend exceed that of the former Year. - Since my return from London I have made an Agreement with Messrs Walkers Maltby & Co to deliver them 2500 pieces of Lead m

As the time is now arrived when you will be inspecting the Mines preparatory to letting the Ore Bargains, I do hope that you will think that the highest price P[er]Bing given last quarter will be sufficient for the ensuing quarter & that an advance in the price of Lead will be amply compensated by the great reduction in the price of Grain. – It is desirable to avoid fluctuations in the prices for raising Ore during

December Quarter 1813 Allenheads
Allenheads Mines are in general poor and from their present appearance I am apprehensive the Ore to be raised in the ensuing Quar[ter] may fall short of the usual quantity. Diana Vein in the West Forehead is tolerably productive 8 Men raising Ore at 40s per Bing & an[othe]r Partn[ersh]ip sinking to the forehead in G[reat] Lime[stone] w[hi]ch will be holed in 3 or 4 Weeks time when I expect it will work at 30s per Bing, the back workings in this Vein are v
Report – George Crawhall to Martin Morrison – 31 Dec 1813
The Mines in the Coalcleugh district are at this time considerably poorer than they have been the last two quarters that I have been at Coalcleugh, & of course many of them require an advance in the Price per Bing or an equivalent adequate to a small advance to enable the Workmen to make a livelihood in many of the Old Workings. The Sun Vein & Flatts at the East End in the Great Limestone is the most productive of any part of this Mine, but not so good as last Quar[ter] , the Ore

Breckonsike continues poor, have let 10 Ore Bargains one at 40s & the remainder at 42s per Bing. The Low Level is driving at 160s per fa[thom] & 30s per Bing.
Greenfield I mentioned in my last report that we had cut this Vein by the Level drove from Breckonsike, it has drained the Old Workings, so that we have let One Ore Bargain to 10 Men at 38s per Bing.

Sirs,
After viewing the Sundry Mines under my care and management, on the 5th, 6th, & 7th Inst I lett the Bargains, a list of which is annexed. The Mines in general are much poorer this Quarter than the last, and are all lett as low as their situation and present state will admit of, both the Ore and Dead Bargains.
