A miner's uniform lies on rocks along with letters and pictures to commemorate the 33 miners who are trapped underground in a copper and gold mine in Copiapo, some 725 km (450 miles) north of Santiago, August 26, 2010. The August 5 cave-in at the San Jose mine that trapped 33 miners has increased public pressure on the government to enforce safety conditions at small operations in the world's top copper producer. The note in white reads "Families be strong, we have faith, we are with you". [Agencies]
