 Ptttsburg, Nov. 30-The suueaking iron bucket, operated in the 500-foot shaft leading to the Rachel and Agnes mines of the Pittsburg- Buffalo Coal Company. at Mariana, Pa, since last Saturday when a terrific explosion in the mines wrecked the o-date ele- vator of the shaft and snuffed out the lives of miners to a number estimated from 120 up, had carried to the surface, when darkness fell tonight the bruised. n1angled and burned remains of more than 100 of the victims of the disaster.
 The most reliable count of the bodies recovered at that time was no, two- thirds of which have been identified.
 The exploration of the workings has been SO complete that if seems impos- sible that any considerable number of bodies remain in the mines.
 James E.. Roderick. head of the State Department of Mining, said tonight that from data furnished him by the company and reports from his six dep- uty inspectors, he did not believe the death list would exceed 120.
 Mir. Roderick reached the mine this afternoon. but after receiving reports from deputies, decided not to enter the workings until the rescuers have com pleted their work.

The list of victims. he de- 'clares. will not exceed his first esti- mate of i2o. A number of bodies are buried under the fallen workings and | will not be recovered for several days. Others have been blown to fragments and are being picked up piecemeal Many women and children gathered at the temporary morgue in the vil- lage during the day and their lamen- tations at times could be heard sev- eral squares distant,
 While all the officials at the mine assert that they do not know what caused the explosion. many of the res cuers who had been at work on an- other shift in the mine profess to have reached a satisfactory conclusion. They assert that while the hydraulic drill was at work 1t openedA 6 pocket of gas and while the gas was escap- ! ing into the mine. the Grill struck a piece of rock. caused a spark and the explosion followed.
