Deep Mining Shafts 10 Europe.

Twenty years ago the deepest mining
shaft In the world reached only about
1000 feet below the surface. The very
deepest, w believe. was n metalliferous
mine In Hanover, which has been car.
risd down TO the depth Of 1900 feet.
The deepest perpendicular shaft to-day
Is the Adalbsrt shaft in O silver.lead
mine in Prizibram. In Bohemia, which
has reached a depth Of $3.50 feet. The
attainment OF that depth was made the
occasion OF q three days festival, and
still further noticed by the striking OF
OF q large number Of commemorative
silver medals OF tho vnlue Of a form
each. There IL no record Of the begin.
ming Of work on this mine, although its
written history goes back to 1927. Quite
recently an elegant commemorative
volume has been written and printed,
which Is most interesting to those who
have q taste for either the actualities or
antiquities OF mining industry. There
are wi other localities. however, where
q greater depth has been reached than
at the Adalbert shaft, but not In q per-
pendiculAr line. These are: first, the
Nocksalt bors-hols near S~psrenberg, not
far from Berlin. which, n few years ago,
had been bored TO q depth OF i,l75 feet;
second. the coal mino Of viviers Rsmus,
