Mining was added to the previous sources of income in agriculture, forestry and fish farming. Hard coal was extracted in several shafts, a glassworks and quarries were built. At the end of the 19th century, the nearby fireclay factories in Rakonitz and the Luschna- Lischan train station , around which a new settlement had arisen, were the main employers. In 1897 a fire destroyed the lower district of Příče and in 1922 the mill burned down.
