| 2327 | 1918 | J L Gibson & Party take up a lease on the mine. |
It appears that James Gibson and party may have taken up a lease on the Cairnmuir mine. However, by this time the mine had been well worked and the water in the mine was still a problem. The remaining coal was inclined to be wet and fretted easily, causing it to collapse without warning. Coal was removed from the edges of the supporting pillars which caused parts of the mine to collapse. |
| 2328 | 1919 | Closure of the mine. |
It appears that James Gibson finally closed the Cairnmuir Mine around 1919, having won around 330 tons of coal. |
