Sure, if the lights ever went out, or there was a cave in or if they got lost in an unmarked passage, or if there was only one or two people working a big mine. Yes, working in any kind of mine can be dangerous, and quite of few people have gotten lost and died in mines, including gold mines.
Too bad (for the miner) if a great big hungry bear decides to use the mine as a substitute for a cave to hibernate in and the miner does not have any weapons to defend themselves.

Yes, it is possible for miners to get lost in the mines due to the complex and maze-like nature of underground tunnels. However, by following safety protocols, having proper lighting and communication systems in place, and ensuring that miners are well-trained, the risk of getting lost can be minimized.

What is a brand of denim jeans?
The best-known brand of denim jeans are made by Levi Strauss & Company, generally known as "Levis". Levi Strauss had been a tailor in New York who, hearing of the discovery of gold in California in 1848, took ship around Cape Horn with plans to start a tailoring business in San Francisco. Unfortunately, his shipments of fine fabrics had been lost in the passage, and he was only able to obtain a very heavy cotton cloth called "denim", often used to make ships' sails. Strauss proceeded to make his fortune sewing very sturdy and durable clothing for the gold miners in California. It's curious that very few gold miners ever "struck it rich" and went home with fortunes. It was the merchants who SOLD things to gold miners who became wealthy and famous.
