Captain Frederick j. Mills is on trial
for his life before Judge Norreu Of the
Third district court once lieutenant
governor of Idaho. once state engineer,
once a member Of the house Of repre-
sentatives, he now faces a charge which
may end in his swinging from the end
Of a rope.
1t will evidently be a long and tedi-
Gus trial. In fact many days may be
consumed in choosing a jury Only
two were secured yesterday One was
Thomas J. Donelin, a tanner of Eng
Iish birth. who is Sc years of age and
who has lived here many years. He is
married and has three children. The
other was William N. Haigh, a stock
raiser of TaylOrsvilie % years Old
married thirty years and the father Of
two children.
But Notwithstanding the length Of
the trial it viii contain sensations and
disclosures never before known in the
case. Judge o. w. Powers, the slreWd
counsel for TIE defense, is undoubted-
y going to spring some matters that
had not been heard of. He viii say
nothing about his case. but this fact
is plain from the questions which he
asked the jurors in their examination
yesterday.

PRODUCTION or COPPER.

The rapid growth OF the copper in
dustry In the United States, and the
large proportion which his countr
supplies Of the worlds copper is shown
by a German publication entitled "A
Century OF Copper II shows that
the United States has duping the years
ls9l-lsOO produced more than one-half
or the copper Of the world. while in
the preceding decade 1t supplied about
one-third Of the worlds production.
and In the decade, lS7l-lsSO, the por-
ton supplied by the United States was
only about one-siXth Of the total. The
growth OF the copper production In the
century has been very rapid, being in
the first decade 1000 tons. I'm the dfth
decade 29l.OO0 tons, and in the tenth
decade. which ends with 1900. 2.643. 900
tons, of which 1858 900 tons is supplied
by North America, a large proportion
OF this being from the United States
INT greatly Increased demand for this
material Is illustrated by the fact that.
although the production has increased
from bO5,sOs tons in the decade. 1855 To
1880. 10 $4,000 tons In the decade. 1891
TO 1900 the average price has fallen
only a little more than half. So that
while the production has Increased
more h siX-fold, IL costs about one
half OF what IL did.
