Gravitational force is between two object caused by energy in mass. Here when you are in a mine the radius of the earth in case of calculating gravity is reduced to the length between you and the center. This means the mass of earth is decreasing even though the distance is decreasing. Relative to the decrease in distance squared the decrease in the mass of the second object(earth) is more. As a result your weight(don't confuse with mass) decrease.

Weight of the body is less in a mine beacause there a maximum value of g at the sea level. As the depth increses from sea level,the g decreases so weight of the body also deceases.
