PRIBRAM

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 313 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PRE-PYR
PRIBRAM , a town of Bohemia,
Austria
 , 39 m. S.W. of Prague by
rail
 . Pop. (190o), 13,576, together with the adjoining town-ship of Birkenberg, 19,119, almost exclusively Czech. It lies in a valley between the hills of Birkenberg and Heiliger Berg, and in its neighbourhood are the lead and silver mines which belong to the Austrian government and are worked in nine shafts, two of which, the Adalbert
shaft
  (3637 ft.) and the Maria
shaft
 , (3575 ft.) are the deepest in the world. The mines have been worked for several centuries, but their actual prosperity
dates
  from 1770, when the sinking of the Adalbert shaft began. They yield yearly an
average
  of 8o,000 lb of silver and 1900 tons of lead. At the top of the Heiliger Berg (1889 ft.) is a
church
  with a wonder-working image of the Virgin, which is the
chief
  place of
pilgrimage
  in Bohemia.
