Sheriff Tom Irvine and Bob WHY returned
Sunday night from their hunt after the train
robbers. They concluded that further imme-
diate search was a waste of time and conse-
quently made post haste from Wyoming to
reach a point of communications. Of course
they had a rough trip and varied experiences
of discomfort. "Tom" is not discouraged,
however, and still retains a fighting chance
of mailing the robbers-YeloDstone journal.

Special to Pioneer Press:-The erection of
the New Catholic college will shortly be
commenced in Helena. One hundred acres
for the College were purchased some six
years ago. The college will he an extensive
one. 1t Is to comprise a main building and
two large wings, besides rear additions. 1t
will accommodate $50 boarding students, be-
sides day scholars. 1t is to be strictly non
sectarian, and is to be equipped with a corps
of tutors who will be able to train students
in as complete a classic course as can be oh
tanned in the East. The building will cost
when completed about $500, 600, and will be

We learn from reliable sources chat the
construction of the Billings, Clarke's Fork &
Cooke City railroad will be begun early next
and carrying coal by the first week in No
vember. The consent of the Indians must
first be obtained before the work can go on,
but with that obstacle removed the road will
be speedily pushed to completion. This is
purely a local road, starting as it will from
Billings, and not from Laurel or any point
near it. Its spur to the Bear Creek coal
mines will tap the best coal field in the West
and will completely revolutionize the coal
supply of the Northwest. The extent of the
coal district and the vast quantities of coal
which will be opened can only be realized
by those who are intimately acquainted with
the country. There are twelve or fifteen
veins of solid coal, ranging from five to ten
feet in thickness, comprised in this vest
mine Of resource for Billings, the Billings,
Clarke's Fork s. Cooke City railroad and the
Northwest. These veins are nearly horizon
tai, differing from those of Rock Creek,
which have q dip Of seventeen degrees,
thereby making the latter much more diff
cult to work.--BiNings Gazette.
