The article deals with the reasons and the disposal manner of a specific old mine - Jacobi I drift. The disposal manners of old mines are described, developed and known in quite a detail. The article describes the combination of several manners used and reasons why that combination was used. In this case it is the combination of consolidated, air-blown and washed fill. Maximum achievable safety of the disposed construction and avoiding the threat of sinks developed in places with frequent occurence of people - allotments etc. are the main reasons. The disposed part of the drift was outside of the coal bed development. Disposal of its continuation in the direction to the coal deposit proceeded in the past or a part of that drift has been mined in the whole profile by an opencast mine.
