Mining company, tribe reach coal deal
BILLINGS – A Wyoming mining company has reached a tentative deal to mine an estimated 1.4 billion tons of coal on southeastern Montana’s Crow Indian Reservation.
Cloud Peak Energy says it would pay the tribe up to $10 million if the deal is approved by the tribal legislature and the Department of Interior.
Agreements between the parties cover three coal deposits near Cloud Peak’s existing Spring Creek mine. Tribal leaders have said the coal could be exported to Asian markets.
The announcement follows a stalled partnership between the tribe and an Australian company to build a $7 billion coal-to-liquids plant on the rural and impoverished reservation along the Wyoming border.

Ex-Indians pitcher Aubertin dies
A memorial service for former Spokane Indians pitcher Dick Aubertin has been scheduled for Saturday at 11 a.m. in Wilbur Presbyterian Church.
Aubertin, 82, died July 18 in Nespelem, Wash. A member of the Colville Confederated Tribes, the tall right-hander spent part of three seasons with Spokane during the city’s Western International League days in 1950, 1951 and 1954. He was signed out of high school by the New York Yankees and began his pro career with a 6-1 record for Fond de Lac (Wis.) in 1948.
The Wilbur resident’s career was compromised by a logging accident, and he retired in 1954 after posting a 2-3 record in 15 games for Spokane.
