and Hamilton T. P. [Turnpike] Road & the latter the north west portion. Both properties go under the same name for the Coal Workings. Mr Dixon's portion has not been all wrought yet for coals, but it is wrought over many places not yet connected underground with each other. The other part of the Estate - Mr Stewarts has all been wrought for Coal. This Colliery bounds with "Cleland" on the east "Stevenston" on the north "Jerviston Colliery"on the west. On the south the, the Parish Boundary - "South Calder" forms the Boundary of Carfin Colliery. Coal has been found all over the property belonging to Mr. Dixon, & therefore as it will all be worked in the course of a few years, the march or Boundary of the property, as pointed out on the Traces by the Manager, will be the extent of the Colliery.
