PIOTRKOW (Ger. Petrikau)

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 632 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PIG-POL
PIOTRKOW (Ger. Petrikau) , a government of Russian Poland, hounded by the government of Warsaw on the N., Radom and Kielce on the E.,
Kalisz
  on the W. and Prussian Silesia on the S. Area, 4729 sq. m.; pop. (1906, estimate), 1,67 5,200. Geologically it represents a continuation of Upper Silesia, and is built up of Upper Carboniferous deposits, containing near Bendzin a bed of coal 265 sq. m. in extent. Permian and Jurassic deposits, containing zinc ores, as also lignite and limonite iron ores, overlie the Carboniferous. The surface consists of a
series
  of heights, loon to 1600 ft. above sea-level, intersected by ravines, and stretching from
south
 -west to north-
east
 . The government is drained by the Warta and the Pilica, andwas formerly covered with thick forests. It was colonized by Mazurs and Poles (Veliko-Polyans and Malo-Polyans). The government, which is the most densely peopled in the Russian Empire, is divided into eight districts, of which the
chief
  towns are Piotrkow, Bendzin, Brzeziny, Czenstochowa, Lask, Lodz, Nowo-Radom and Rawa.
Agriculture
  and cattle-breeding are extensively carried on; and coal and iron are
mined
 . Textile
industries
  developed with extraordinary rapidity during the closing years of the 19th and the opening years of the loth centuries, the towns of Lodz, Pabianice, Zgerz and Bendzin all being important centres. Other branches of productive industry are distilleries, breweries, flour-mills, brickyards,
sugar
 , cement, glass and candle factories. Granica and Sosnowice, in this government, are two of the mostimportant custom-houses in Russia, and the annual
trade
  is estimated at 22,000,000.
