A miner is a person who extracts ore, coal, or other minerals from the earth through mining. There are two senses in which the term is used. In its narrowest sense, a miner is someone who works at the rock face; cutting, blasting, or otherwise working and removing the rock. In a broader sense, a "miner" is anyone working within a mine, not just a worker at the rock face.〔 This article will consider this broader concept. In regions with a long mining tradition, many communities have developed cultural traditions and aspects specific to the various regions, in the forms of particular equipment, symbolism, music, and the like. ==Roles== Different ications of the individual miner. Many of the roles are specific to a type of mining, such as coal mining. Roles considered to be "miners" in the narrower sense have included: *Hewer (also known as "breaker" or "pickman"), whose job was to hew the rock. * *Collier, a hewer who hews coal with a pick. *Driller, who works a rock drill to bore holes for placing dynamite or other explosives. Other roles within mines that did not involve breaking rock (and thus fit the broader definition) have included: *Loader (also called a "bandsman"), who loads the mining carts with coal at the face. *Putter (also known as a "drags-man"), who works the carts around the mine. *Barrow-man, who transported the broken coal from the face in wheelbarrows. *Hurrier, who transported coal carts from a mine to the surface. *Timberer, who fashions and installs timber supports to support the walls and ceiling in an underground mine. In addition to miners working underground, a mine employs other workers in duties at the surface. In addition to office staff of various sorts, these may include: *Brakesman, who operate the winding engine. *Breaker boy who breaks coal. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「miner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
