Miners typically lived in small, basic accommodations near the mines where they worked. These could include temporary structures like shacks, boarding houses, or company-owned housing. The living conditions were often crowded and lacked basic amenities.
The Chilean coal miners were trapped underground for 69 days before being rescued.
The Chilean miners were extracting copper when they became trapped in the mine. Copper is a valuable metal used in various industries, including construction and electronics.
The miners who came west to California during the Gold Rush were often called "Forty-Niners" because they arrived in 1849 seeking gold.
Miners historically wore protective gear such as helmets with lamps, overalls, boots, and safety belts. These outfits were designed to ensure their safety in the hazardous underground mining environment. Today, miners also use modern equipment such as respirators and high-visibility clothing for added protection.
A long tom is a type of sluice box used by miners to separate gold particles from other debris in a stream or river. Miners shovel dirt and rocks into the long tom, which then uses water to wash away the lighter materials while the heavier gold particles settle at the bottom. The gold can then be collected and further processed for extraction.

Not always. Many Australian gold miners lived in tents, but many built rough bark lean-tos. Others built wooden shanties over time.
In the early days of mining, many miners lived away from their families, often in temporary camps or mining towns. However, as mining communities developed, some miners moved their families to these areas, leading to the establishment of more permanent settlements. The presence of families often brought stability to mining towns, but conditions could still be harsh and challenging for both miners and their families.
