in this Country, all the Ancient Men that wrought at 
the Smelting of it being dead ; but it maybe Mr. Hex- 
techers Book will give lome Account of it. That Book 
is. in Mr. Anglionbys Cuftody at Caritjle. 
The third Queftion is, What Th/cknefi and Goodnefi 
the Vein of Copper Ore is reputed to be of ? 
In AnfVer to which I fay, It is reported that the 
thicknefi of the Vein at Gculdfcope in Newlands was 
fix Foot ; but for the goodnefs it cannot be known 
without comparifon of divers forts, to fee which is bed ; 
and no Comparifon can be made in things unfeen. 
The fourth Queftion is, What number of Shafts and 
Addit s, are at the Work } and what the great Addit cofl ? 
and when was it finifhed> and if it be yet finijhed ? if 
not % what will it cofl to clear and perfect it ? 
To which I anfvver, That I have divers times viewed 
and well confidered both of Caldbeck and Newlands 
Mines, and know that there is no Shafts in being neither 
at Caldbeck or tfewlands ; and if there hath been any, 
they are filed up, and will be of no ufe for any that 
lets the Work on again, by reafon that the Copper is 
wrought away from under them. There are divers Ad- 
dits finifoed, which will be of no ufe, being that they 
will not clear the Work of Water : For the old Work- 
men have wrought down the Ore far below the Addit's 
by the benefit of Water Engines and Pumps fb that- 
there can be no good done without new Addits. There 
is part of an Addit wrought at Caldbeck, but how much 
it wants to be finilhed I know not, neither can I tell- 
what it will cofl the finifhing : For the Stone may be 
harder or fbfter ; for fbme Stone may be wrought for 
iQ 5. per Fathom, and feme of it may prove fb hard, 
- that'
