SAN JOSE MINE, Chile -- The lucky ones now have more than $10,000 in the bank and a free vacation in Greece awaiting them. But for the moment, many of the family members of the 33 miners trapped under the hard volcanic rock here for more than two months seemed content to remain at Camp Hope on Thursday, tending to their tents and sweeping away the desert dust from their makeshift dining tables. Elizabeth Segovia, the sister of one of the miners, Dario Segovia, arranged balloons next to the family's five tents, which were decked out with flags and signs welcoming him to the camp. The families have invited him and the other 32 miners to a Mass at the mine on Sunday. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
