It's been a long time since I did the mines... and just to add to Moni's post... the lever is very HARD to see, but, if I recall correctly, it was laying near a trolley car...
As for the monk quest.. it sounds like you are doing it right... all you have to do is take EVERYTHING off your character (weapons, amulets, armor, etc.) so that the figure box (to the right in the inventory screen) has NOTHING in it... then, make sure that TWO complete days and nights go by before you go back to any town (or the clock starts all over again).. after you have been gone for two complete days and nights, then return to the dojo and your character should be made a monk.
Good luck,
