LIMA - Nine workers trapped inside a wildcat mine in southern Peru received oxygen and liquids through a giant hose on Saturday while a rescue team toiled to get them out, officials said.The men have been stuck about 656 feet (200 meters) below ground since the Cabeza de Negro gold-and-copper mine partially collapsed on Thursday."We've communicated with them and they are in good health, thankfully," police officer Jose Saavedra told local radio.A regional health official, however, said the miners were suffering from dehydration and feelings of desperation.
