The Silver-mining

The Silver-mining was a very laborious work with the simplest work-methods standing to the disposal, in those days, like hammers, iron and a small lamp.
With it a miner could work in himself only few centimeters per month into the mountain.

The routes under day were only 5 - 6 feet high and only 1,5 - 2,5 feet wide.
Under most difficult conditions the miners worked daily up to 16 hours.
As weekly income, the miners got 10 to 16 groschens.
