I really need some advice here on a project I've been working on.

I'm trying to build an underground city and I was lucky enough to find a huge cave system and as of right now I've got about a third of it all the way to the bed rock. I'm not too worried about connecting the rest of the mines to make one big cube but here's where I'm starting to get worried. I want to build it tall, essentially tall enough so that the top will actually start to fade away in the fog so that I could put black blocks on the ceiling to make it look pitch black. I've gone from bed rock to the tallest mine and that's only about 32 blocks tall. What's a fast way to clear out an area of about 200 by 500 from the surface without spending a good hundred hours? I've already fallen to my death a good four times, too.

P.S. If you're wondering how many diamonds I've found in this mine, it's about 50 in just the past week.
