THE DEEPEST MINES.
Eureka (Nev.) Sentinel


Twenty years ago the deepest mining
shaft in the world reached only about
900 feet below the surface. The very
deepest, we believe. was q me:alliferous
mine in Hanover, which had been carried
down 10 depth of $3.50 feet. The deepest
perpendicular shaft to-day is the Adelbert
shaft in a silver lead mine in Prizibram, in
Bohemia, which has reached . depth Of
$3.50 feet. The attainment of that depth
was made the occasion Of a three days
festival, and still further noticed by strik-
ing OH q large number Of commemorative
silver medals OF the value of OF . fiona
each. There is no record of the beginning
of work on the mine, although its written
history goes back to 1927. Quite recently
an elegant commemorative volume has been
written and printed, which is most interest.
ing reading TO those who have q taste for
either the actualities or antiquities of min.
ing industry. There are two other local..
ties however, where a greater depth has
been reached than at the Adelbert shaft,
but not ma perpendicular line. These
are: 1. The rock salt bore hole near
Sperenberg, not far from Berlin, which q
few years ago had teen bored to . depth Of
4,175 feet. 2. The coal mine in Viyiers
Remus, in Belgium, where the miners, by
shaft-sinking, together with boring, have
reached q total depth of 3,542 fest. Turn.
ing from these two mines, no shaft in
unbroken perpendicular line has as yet ex-
ceeded the depth of $3.50 feet.
