    Biedaszyb (jarg., The name comes from the 1930s) - a mining excavation (shaft or adit) made near the outcrop illegally, making coal available, most often hard coal.
    A person who extracts coal with the use of a poor man is a poor chaser.
    Poor houses were most frequently created in Upper Silesia during the economic crisis of 1929–1933, and were often the only source of income for entire families working for them. Coal from poor shafts was cheaper than coal sold by mines, which led to the destruction of poor shafts by blowing them up and the police chasing poor people.
    In the 1990s, after all coal mines in Wałbrzych were closed, poor shafts were created in Wałbrzych.
