There are 2 that I know of and the steps are similar. Tanko Bushi and Kawachi Ondo.
Tanko Bushi
Lift R ft up below L knee then touch R toe to floor.
At the same time pretend you are holding a spade and dig with both hands towards the floor.
Lift R ft again, but this time place full weight on R ft as you dig
with hands again towards the floor. (Basically taking a step forward)
Repeat 1 & 2 but to the left and with L ft.
Touch R toe to floor and throw hands over R shoulder and take a step with your R ft. (As if throwing the coal behind you.)
Touch L ft to floor and throw hands over L shoulder and take a step with your L ft.
Now touch R toe back and then step on it as you place L hand, palm out, over head as if shading eyes, R hand is back. Then step with full weight on R ft.
Now step back on L toe, then step with full weight on L ft as R hand shades eyes and L hand goes back.
Push with both hands from shoulder out, palm out as if pushing coal cart forward and at same time step forward on R ft.
Then push again and step forward on L ft.
Step forward on R ft and bring both hands downwards from in front of body and to the sides.
Step forward on L ft raising hands and then bring R ft down beside left and clap own hands once.
Then do two-quick and one slow clap.
(The clapping rhythm is slow--quick, quick--slow.)
Also it helps to know that you always begin the dance on the vocal.
NOTE:
Cue the above as follows:
Dig and Dig
and dig and dig
and throw and throw
and shade and shade
and push and push
and down up clap, clap, clap, clap.
In Kawachi Ondo, the second group of steps (throwing the coal) is replaced by a twisting motion as if tieing a headband. First on the right then on the left.

No, they are copper miners.
Yes, coal miners work in coal mines to extract coal from the ground. They use heavy equipment to dig tunnels and remove coal from deposits in the earth.
You can read about the history of coal miners from Wikipedia's official website. You can also read about the history of coal miners from Mining USA's official website.
In coal mines.
Coal Miners' Museum - Van Lear - was created in 1984.
miners eat bat soup, coal and rock.
Coal miners that are exposed to coal dust are prone to get what is called black lung disease. The coal duct accumulates in the lungs and makes it difficult to breathe.

Most of the laborer workers were mine workers/coal miners in the year 1877. The mine workers consisted of coal miners and coal technicians in the late 1800s.
