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.

What was the ureka stocade?
*Eureka The Eureka stockade was fought over the miners rights during the Victorian Gold Rush in Australia. The miners were upset at how they were being treated by the few and often corrupt 'officials' who were present at the mines to represent the law. The Violence between not just the miners themselves but the 'law officials' was one of the contributing factors to the stockade, as well as the heavy taxes on the miners who were struggling to make ends meet when there was little gold to be found was also a key factor to the stockade. As a historian you could say that the miners were unhappy at having no vote for who would represent them, but at the same time being taxed, giving us the saying 'No Taxation without representation,' coming from the stockade. These contributing factors as well as the discontent felt overall by the miners and the poor lifestyle of living on the mines all led to the Eureka Stockade. The Stockade itself lasted for little more than 15 minutes, with the protesting miners piling behind a tin hut, many lives were lost and the Eureka stockade was seen as a failure by many. Although it did end up with the miners getting a vote and the problem of corruption being looked at and dealt with in some sense. The Stockade was organised by Peter Lalor, a miner from the Victorian Goldfields.

Why do mine caves collapsed?
Mines and caves are different things. Mines are often in or below weak strata and have been excavated relatively quickly, intensifying the stress on the overlying rocks. Caves, which are natural by definition, tend to be in more competent formations, but they can collapse due to erosion. Movements on faults crossing a cave can also produce collapses in the breccia around the fault. Much of a cave formed on a fault is filled with angular boulders as the surrounding limestone was heavily fractured by the folding and faulting. As the cave developed in the usual way - dissolution of the limestone by water - these blocks simply lost lateral support and fell from the cracked walls.
In the Australian gold rush was gold easy to find?
NO! Many miners found it difficult to mine, sleep and other things. It takes a very long time to get to town and back to the goldfields. The reason they go to town is so they can get more food for the goldfields. Also the flies which are just so annoying. Miners didn't like the Chinese. They had to pay fees every month and cost 30 shillings. Miners hated this so in 1854 the started a rebellion at the Eureka Stockade and fought the soldiers of Victoria but lost the battle. They lost the battle but won the war. The government abolished the license and replaced it with the miners rights.

This was a tremendous debt for the UK, the coal mines were not profitable since the 1960's. Thatcher eliminated the federal debt and reversed the economic socialist-driven downturn in the UK. It's true miners lost their jobs, but the coal mines were not working out. Something had to be done.

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.
