Mineral wax in Austria and mining history
Mineral wax, a resinous substance similar to beeswax, appears in Austria and several other countries but is mined profitably only near Boryslaw in Galicia and limitedly at Tendekan. The Boryslaw boom of 1865 created many pits, but poor management and surface limits led to closures. An 1890s survey found 42 mining firms employing 5,413, with 17,068 pounds produced in the prior year amid dangerous gas releases in nests.
