CZ: Nejdelší a nejdéle provozovaný dul kounovské sloje na Slánsku. Vedle puvodní štoly vyhloubena težní jáma a dve jámy vetrací. Mocnost sloje okolo 80 cm. - Dul založen majitelem blahotického panství, baronem Karlem Ferdinandem z Puetany. Pri hloubení puvodní štoly (patrne již v r. 1820) odkryta sloj. V r. 1832 došlo k rozšírení dolového pole severovýchodním smerem a vyhloubena težní jáma a opatrena parním strojem. Nový majitel baron Riese ze Stallburgu (mj. majitel slánského cukrovaru) založil novou težní jámu, v r. 1849 dovedena do hloubky 56 m a pozdeji dohloubena na konecných 85 m. Soucasne byla hloubena nová vetrní jáma "Na Hájích" do hloubky 132 m. Tehdy dochází k nejvetšímu rozvoji dolu. Po smrti barona v r. 1890 dul odkoupen firmou Deutsch a Hass z Pešti. Po nekolika neúspešných pokusech o obnovení težby v r. 1901 a 1904 dul v r. 1905 definitivne uzavren. Zdroj: (visit link)

V soucasné dobe, více jak 100 letech od ukoncení težby uhlí, je areál v majetku firmy Dusla.

EN: The longest and longest-running mine in the Kounov seam in the Slaný region. A mining pit and two ventilation pits were excavated next to the original gallery. Layer thickness about 80 cm. - The mine was founded by the owner of the Blahotice estate, Baron Karel Ferdinand of Puetana. During the excavation of the original gallery (probably already in 1820) a layer was uncovered. In 1832, the mining field was expanded to the northeast and a mining pit was excavated and equipped with a steam engine. The new owner, Baron Riese von Stallburg (among others the owner of the Slaný sugar factory), founded a new mining pit, in 1849 it was brought to a depth of 56 m and later deepened to the final 85 m. there is the greatest development of the mine. After the death of the baron in 1890, the mine was bought by Deutsch and Hass from Budapest. After several unsuccessful attempts to resume mining in 1901 and 1904, the mine was definitively closed in 1905. Source: (visit link)
