1) collectable coins, which you receive payment for instantly - much less than jewels, but no need to get them back home: bronze=50, silver=100, gold=200 !-)
2) jewel bags, which will be dropped by any dead Miner whom was carrying jewels (half of them will be lost), if there's a space to drop one - so your next bod can come along and pickup where the unfortunate soul met a sticky end !-)
3) and an improved help mode - click on a map object to hear a description of its properties !-)
