The Příbram Ševčín vein, the most important in the mining district, gave its name to the most popular mine in Příbram. At the instigation of the chief mining authority in 1812, it was proposed that a new shaft should be sunk on the Martyr's Vein to enable increased extraction from the Vojtěšská, Wolfgangská and Maria Pomocnice veins.
In 1813, the first work on the shaft was started. The shaft was dug along the vein, which falls perpendicularly downwards. The transport of ore to the processing plant was solved by the Ševčínská adit, which opens near the Mariánská adit on the road leading to the Vojtěch mine. The mine was abandoned after World War I and further activity did not take place until after World War II.
The new shaft was called the Emperor Franz shaft, later the Emperor Franz Joseph shaft ("Francšachta"), and since the coup it has been called the Ševčínský mine. The handsome shaft building is 37.5 m high. During the mining disaster in 1892, many miners were saved by this shaft, and death followed them.
