Stalactites (calicte deposits) - their opposite numbers on the floor are stalagmites.
They can grow in three basic forms:
plain Stalactites - tapering, shaped like icicles,
Curtains (I believe aka 'Draperies' in USA), shaped a bit like curtains (!) and
Helictites - oddly-distorted things like bits of spaghetti, whose origins are still conjectural.
A cave roof can also exhibit particular erosion-forms such as box-work, a sort of tracery caused when the passage's formative stream filled it to the roof in its early development.

Did gold miners ever get lost in the mines?
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.
