Okay so heres a cool idea for easy mining in a underground setting without going up and down alot...

S = String
I = Iron
N = None
A mine shaft that when activated by button, lever, or even redstone or pressure plate perhaps it will move up and down (slowly to be balanced) and has an inventory smaller than the chest that can hold some ores. When a Minecart runs into a Mineshaft it transfer its items to the shaft and then by redstone or pressure plate you can make it go up while you are a good distance apart... Once at the top (you attach the shaft to a block) it can transfer its supplies to a mineshaft and make it go down its path to your house and transfer the items to your chest or something.
Possibly make a pressure rail for the minecart to activate the mineshaft and sent it backwards so that it adds the contents, sends the mineshaft up, and sends the minecart back to you.

[N][R][N]
P = Pressure Plate
R = Rail
N= None
By placing one of these at the end of the rails underground next to the shaft and one next to your cart it will do the transfer and send it backwards.
I guess you could use the elevator mod to get up and down shafts but I think this is better if it transfers ores so you can have it send ores to your house while you continue to mine...
