Inside the Mines, there are many different enemies that will come at you in Stardew Valley. You'll need to come prepared with powerful weapons as you get deeper in levels, and with rings equipped to enhance your defense and abilities. Things will get even more intense once you move on to Skull Cavern and Ginger Island's Volcano Dungeon.
Defeating these enemies can actually give you nice rewards in return, outside of selling the items they drop or using them in recipes. If you visit Gil in the Adventurer's Guild, he'll provide you with some nice goodies whenever you complete one of the Monster Eradication Goals.

Where to Find Monster Eradication Goals in Stardew Valley
If you want to find the location of all possible Monster Eradication Goals, you'll need to take a trip to the Adventurer's Guild. You can find this building in the northern region of Pelican Town, directly to the right of the Mines in Stardew Valley. The guild is open from 2pm to 2am every day, with the exception of holidays.
Inside here, you'll find
Marlon at the front desk, and
Gil off to the right in the rocking chair. In between them, there will be a small bulletin board. Approach this and interact with it, and you'll find all of the possible Monster Eradication Goals you can complete. Some entries might be filled with a '???' If you have not discovered the monster yet. Most likely, these will be enemies you haven't reached in the Skull Cavern or Volcano Dungeon.
