the mines are an area where you have to use the map a lot. I did the following: to get a quick overview as to what elevator leads to what level (same level, down or up) i placed a flag on the map next to every elevator. just choose an apropriate color code and your orientation should be fine (i used: red=elevator leads to same level, green=el. leads to level below, blue=el. leads to level up)
furthermore, have the small map in the lower left corner switched on (check the game options what key-binding you have for this function) - this helps a lot to decide as to what direction to go.
spare part:
beware of the upcoming ...

as far as i can remember, you'll find the lever in the mid section of the first mine in a room (well, more like a small cave). that means: ride down the trolley, go down one level in the mine.
good luck
