raise
A vertical or inclined opening in a mine driven upward from a level to connect with the level above, or to explore the ground for a limited distance above one level. After two levels are connected, the connection may be a winze or a raise, depending upon which level is taken as the point of reference.

rod mill
A mill for fine grinding, somewhat similar to a ball mill, but employing long steel rods instead of balls to effect the grinding.
