The copper production Of Idaho
was greatly affected by market con-

1914. This decrease was shared by
the Empire Copper Co, In Custer

G. n. Gerry, OF the United States
Geological Survey The value OF
the gold, silver, copper, lead, and

nounce the Frank lynching as an out

treated with indifference.
The Judge In his charge to the jury
used this point to impress the Jurors
with the necessity OF taking cogn!-
xance of every violation OF the law
and every attempt to obstruct or to
divert public justice. For II was only
by this method he said that such in
difference to public wrongs was to be
averted.
Not many weeks ago" said the
Judge. IAN almost unprecedented out
rage was committed In one OF the
Southern States. The offence against
society. that outrage against the law
was the elimination OF indifference
which existed in that State for more
