HUNDRED VICTIMS
OF MINE DISASTER
Explosion in Coal Mine Which Had
Just Been Inspected by Deputy
State Mine Inspector.
Either a Pocket Of Gas or the seep.
age from Gas Well Was the
Cause Of Accident Which
Caused Fearful Loss
Of Life.

Pittsburg More than 100 men
were killed by an explosion IN the
Mariana mines of the Pittsburg Buf
falo Coal company on Saturday,
which entombed large number OF
miners.
About fifty of the victims. it is re-
ported about the mine, were either
Americans or English.speaking men
A majority OF the foreigners we're
comparatively new arrivals in the
country, many of them having left
families in their old homes.
The workings in which the catas.
trophe happened are known as the
Rachel and Agnes mines, in reality
a double mine with underground
connections. Construction work was
practically finished and Deputy State
Mine Inspector Henry Loutitt few
minutes before the explosion had
completed two days inspection
which had revealed no cause for ap-
prehension
The cause Of the explosion has not
been determined. Two theories are
entertained. One Is that pocket OF
gas was struck by one OF the miners,
quickly filling the workings and then
igniting from a lamp The other the.
DRY is that gas from a well on the
Fulton farm, under which the mine
IL located, penetrated the workings
The land In the vicinity is said TO be
gaseous and It is possible gas may
have seeped through the coal stratum
until II accumulated in sufficient vol.
ume TO cause the disaster
So great was the force OF the ex-
ploslon that shattered portions OF
the woodwork about the mouth o.
the shaft were blown into Ten-Mile
creek. 1000 feet away. Besides the
three men in the cage portions Of
at least two other bodies were blown
from the shaft house and were found
