Gofman Had Trouble
TO Gel on Team
Local Pistol Expert Only West
erner With Victorious
Marksmen
By Bob Shand

j. Z. German, the lone representative
OF the west on the shooting team of the
United States which won the world 5
championship at Bisley yesterday. had
sto.m my time in demonstrating his
right to cross the ocean as one of the
best shots in America 1t was known
Tor long time that the local shots
were in bad" with the United States
revolver association and that the rul-
ing body would have much preferred to
send representatives of eastern clubs
only to the big shoot. This idea was
thoroughly ingrained on the minds of
local marksmen, but when German
made a splendid score in the tryouts
1t seemed impossible to keep him out of
the team. The local crack was notified
to journey to the Seaght ranges. New
Jersey, there to compete with the other
top notchers for places on the Amert-
can team. When he arrived in the east
ne Immediately received the cold shoul-
der.
Gorman's competition pistol was at
the time at the factory undergoing an
overhaul, and to compete successfully in
the tryouts 1t was necessary to have
the gun in perfect condition. When
the pistol finally arrived from the fac
tory, German found that the weapon
mad not been bored properly and had a
pull of at least FIVE pounds 1t looked
TO be all off with the San Franciscan.
but NJ. Hartley came to the rescue and
after working over the pistol for sew
eral hours reduced the pull little. but
not enough to make the weapon serv-
lceable. After shooting a string OF 40
with the broken pistol German gave 1t
up and switched the revolver. 1t was
nnally discovered that the Californian
mad been shooting with black powder,
which eliminated any chance he had to
make good. as the weapon was always
clogSed. This was the fault of the
shells, which had been specially pre-
pared for the visitor German claimed
that the weapon was clogged so badly
that he could not run rag through it..
When the pull of his weapon had
been reduced to two and quarter
pounds German went in to do his best
for the west, with the following re-
suit: caulkins, LAS; Dietz, 1884:
German. 1888; Sayre, 1888; Leboutil-
Ter, 1877; Litchfield, 1852.
Had it not been for the fact that the
local marksman's powder had been
faxed he would have finished at the
top of the heap. as he shot a 4S aver
age, and made 56 when he had the right
kind of ammunition. German made the
team, however, despite the handicap.

per production in the country.
For the last month LeWisohn and
Charming, the consulting engineer Of
the company, have been studying the
large mills of the country particularly
the Utah copper mill, with u capacity
of 5000 tons a day; the Boston con-
soiidated with q capacity of 5 700 tons
and the Nevada consolidated with a
capacity of 1000 tons.
The construction of our mill will he
commenced almost immediately" Chan

be purchased from foundries in differ-
ent localities. we look 10 spend the
larger. portion of the 81 200. 600 in San

for that purpose. The CONSUMPTION Of
copper IS below the normal. This ac-
counts In my mind for the low price
