The penetration of so-called "government well" near the village of Bryantsevka was carried out during 1876-1880 years by a mining engineer P. Ivanov, 10 miles from Bachmuth, showed the presence in the Earth's thick layers of salt, including the most powerful - Bryantsev whose thickness was about 40 meters.

As a result, over one hundred years of underground work in the interior of the Earth system formed workings over 200 km. But the route of the mine is about 700 meters, including the way back to the trunk. The descent is carried in the cage (lift).
