in a primitive way the owners ant
tenants have begun flecking out few
hundred tons here and there and mar
keting it at various points which car
be reached by horse transport. The
mines are worked in old-time fashion
by a few golfers each. There is little
attempt at timbering, and the levels
are constructed to drain naturally
The seams are approximately a yard
in thickness and as they pass level
into the moors are easily workable.
Some of the mines were opened up
many generations ago and later
abandoned a few have been worked in
half-hearted fashion until galleries a
couple of miles long have been cut
Old church records, old parchments
and manorial deeds are full of allus-
ions to these deposits. The tenants of
one manor were bound to attend twice
in each year at certain pits with ponies
and panniers to carry fuel to the hall
or castle. Ample refreshment for man
and beast was provided by the lord of
the manor. In other manors the ten
ants were bound to give certain days
of labor to mining. In recognition of
such services the tenants were uni
yersally permitted to make free use
of their lordship's coal mine for their
own use, or for sale provided certain
small royalty was paid to my lords
agents.
The cheapness with which the coal
may be mined is indicated by the fact
that at one pit above Wensleysdale, |
for example, 1t is sold al the pit mouth |
1t 81 ton, but so severe is the climb |
% the mine that 500 pounds is a good |
lorse load. The coal is of fair house
lold quality. Nowhere in the entire
'egion has anyone attempted to de-
'elop the property by sinking a shaft
n search of those deeper deposits

ry seems to promise.
