That's not a shaft, a shaft is vertical, that's a pillar and stall heading.

It bugs me too when these reporters say shafts when they mean drifts: a shaft is vertical access to a deep mine as in UK where "cages" lower men down deep shafts to the workings. In USA most deep mines are drift mines under mountains. In UK "tunnels" are called "roadways" or "gates" . Coal is won on longwall faces accessed by 2 or 3 gates, or from "stalls" in "headings" - dead-end roadways.
From a former Lancashire (North West England) miner.
