bretesse (alternative)
bretesque (alternative)

Inherited from Middle English bretage, bretace, from Old French bretesce, bretesche, breteske, from Late Latin brittisca.

A practice then prevailed of blasting without nicking the side of the place which still continues and of conducting the current of air too far by means of brattice, to both of which practices I raised a strong objection. They admitted their inability to make the men nick the coal as they formerly did and thought the application of brattice could not be properly defined, but that it should be left to the discretion of the manager of each particular mine as to the distance openings should be made apart between the intake and return air courses.

jackhole

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-jackhole.wav

As soon as the machine is well under way, the runner determines about where the next rear jack-hole will come, and has the cut made and ready for receiving the jack by the time the machine has finished its cut.

1907, Rock Boring, Rock Drilling, Explosives and Blasting, Coal-Cutting Machinery, Timbering, Timber trees, Trackwork, page 48:

Trout glided into the shadows, feeding upon grey moths, while in the jackhole beneath the red clay hollows big pike stirred lazily.

It was therefore decided to drive one jackhole through to the surface, and after passing through the inferior coal, the alluvium was met with, and found to be so light and loose in character that it ran through at this point to the surface. The jackhole had therefore to be abandoned, and no further attempts were made to pierce the strata.

1913, Institution of Mining Engineers (Great Britain), The Mining Engineer, page 379:

The particular work he was doing when the accident occurred was digging with pick and shovel a jackhole under one of the track rails to prepare a foundation for a track-lifting implement.

1927, Reports of cases determined in the district courts - Volume 74, page 22:

Finally, Spindrick came to a jackhole with the cover off and protected by a circular barrier.

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Naomi Persephone Amethyst (NaomiAmethyst)-doghole.wav

They know there are thousands of coal miners desperately in need of work, and they know the doghole operators cannot afford to pay these men union wages.

1973, Gene L. Mason, Fred Vetter, The Politics of Exploitation, page 191:

Most miners insist they would rather rob a bank or go on welfare than work in a doghole.

1974, George Vecsey, One Sunset a Week: The Story of a Coal Miner, page 55:

He drove his father to the non-union doghole on the side of the mountain .

1978, William Hoffman, Virginia Reels: Stories, page 92:

(mining, slang) A mine worked by fewer than fifteen miners, which is small enough that some safety laws do not apply.

Such a small mine that is dug independently by one or a few miners, often clandestinely and illegally: a bootleg mine.

The second doghole, driven at 385 feet to one of the pumping units, penetrated a water course, and within a few hours caved material had filled the shaft to 366 feet.

1962, F. G. Schwartz, B. H. Eccleston, Survey of Research on Thermal Stability of Petroleum Jet Fuels, page 74:

Stope preparation includes the excavation of finger raises, sidelines, undercuts, and dogholes as well as the longholing and blasting of pillars formed by this work.

2004, Thomas E. Douglass, A Room Forever, page 118:

1869, George Fowler, On a Method of Abstracting Explosive Gas from the Goaves of Coal Mines, in Transactions, Volume 18, North of England Institute of Mining Engineers, page 160,
In an operation of this kind, primarily for the purpose of extracting the gas out of the goaves, but also with a view to drain the solid coal, it is clear that it is desirable, as much as possible, to draw as directly as possible from the goaf.

1874, William Hopton, The Prevention of Catastrophes in Mines, in The Hermon Prize Essays: Essays on the Prevention of Explosions and Accidents in Coal Mines, W. M. Hutchings, page 57,
Hundreds of lives have been sacrificed by sudden outbursts of gas from the floor and goaf, and miners are constantly working in jeopardy, when a small expense would remove the gas, and prevent the casualties.

2010, Hua Guo, et al., CSIRO Coal Mining Research and Technologies, Jürgen F. Brune (editor), Extracting the Science: A Century of Mining Research, Society for Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration, page 73,
High gas emissions from the longwall goaf is one of the main problems at a number of highly gassy coal mines in Australia, resulting in a significant number of face stoppages. To address the issue of goaf gas control, CSIRO's research aimed at developing optimum goaf gas control.

1896, George Manville Fenn, Sappers and Miners; The Flood beneath the Sea, chapter 42, “Mining Matters”

Men working at deep mines started work after a long and tiring descent, and near the end of their shift they held back on their effort, so they would have enough energy left to “get to grass.”

But love was no protection in the terror and the din
When the island gave its answer, the day the sea broke in
I heard the shouted warning, I tried to get to grass
But the ladders jammed with miners, there was no room to pass
I never was a sailor but I met a sailor's death
Ninety feet below the ocean, I drew that dying breath
