Chilean miners to create shrine inside mine

By the CNN Wire Staff

Rescuers send food and water through a drill riser to miners trapped for 20 days in Chile.

(CNN) -- Communications and supplies were flowing efficiently between rescuers and 33 trapped miners in Chile, authorities said Wednesday.

The miners have been trapped for a total of 20 days with minimal food. A probe sent by rescuers found the men alive on Sunday, but it could be three to four months before a hole can be drilled that will reach the men, 2,300 feet below the earth's surface.

In the meantime, the miners are asking for certain objects to be sent down to make surviving in the cave easier for them.

Officials have sent down playing cards, and the miners have asked for religious figures, such as statuettes of saints, to be delivered to them, Health Minister Jaime Manalich said.

A crucifix has also been sent down. The miners intend to designate an area in their shelter as a shrine, Manalich said.

They have also asked for a Chilean flag.
