A laborer who switches flow of sand (waste minerals and water resulting from treatment of ore for removal of valuable minerals) in pipe or flumes from one stope (underground openings from which ore has been mined) to another, so that they will be properly filled with sand (after water has drained off) to support the walls and roof and prevent caving of the ground surrounding the worked out area.
