During his visit on Tuesday night he met a number of officials and rescue workers. The miners have been trapped inside the mine since last Thursday, when an explosion they apparently set themselves caused a collapse. Efforts to rescue the men have ramped up in recent days, with people arriving from nearby mines to help make support beams to hold up the delicate tunnel that rescuers are digging. Peru's Minister of Women's Affairs Ana Jara said earlier on Tuesday that the miners - all aged between 23 and 58 - might be free by nightfall, but a small cave-in set back efforts. An engineer assisting in the rescue said that collapse will delay the removal of dirt and rock from the horizontal shaft dug into a mountainside. The trapped miners have been administered liquids and medicine through a hose that also lets them talk with people outside.
