mining, a term used by authors in distinction from puteus, to express the several sorts of passageways and cuts in these subterranean works. The cuniculi are those direct passageways in mines where they walk on horizontally; but the putei are the perpendicular cuts or deflections. The miners in Germany call these by the name flollen, and Schacht; the first word expressing the horizontal, and the second the perpendicular cuts.
